Hey eva I rememberd that u said that u put a 60mm fan on Your NB, how did u attache it, with glue/ zipties? or any other methode, could u maybe make a pic of it? Any help appreciated.

I think eva's is not in a case.

I'm only using a 50x50x15mm fan. I wasn't sure I could secure a 60mm fan. I figured the best way to secure a fan on the NB would be with tape so I went looking for some tape that would stick under temperature. The best that I could find is advertised as Hi-Temp/Hi-Strength Supermount Tape. It's double-sided but I'm using only one side. It's made by 3M for RadioShack but you'd probably have to find something similar at another retailer. Here's a link that shows the tape that I used:

It comes in strips of 3 inches (7.5cm) in length by 1 inch (2.5cm) wide. I made 4 pieces by cutting two strips in half length wise and then cutting them to a length that I estimated that I needed. I put the 4 pieces of tape on the fan as in the photo, positioned the fan up against the NB and pressed the tape down snug. It took me a couple of times to get it right. The first time I had it perfect except that I forgot to check the direction it was blowing. I can confirm this tape is super stick! This is the best photo I could get.



This 50mm 17cfm fan reduced my MB temp by about 5c. If you use tape to secure a fan then get back with your results. I just might buy a 60mm fan to see if it will lower it some more.
