due to my laptop overheating so much, and even adjusting the bios to keep the fan on, its still shutting down after a little while of being on.

anyone had any experiences with them? and what one looks better?

let me know before it burns out the laptop internals!! lol

? Sometimes my lap top is running all day & night and never had a problem overheating....what processor & graphics are you running/using and have you upgraded anything..

hi,

no havent upgraded anything, its all standard as from dell- celeron 2.60ghz.

i have read on the internet that the dell 1150 suffers from overheating because the fan isnt good enough. after 15 minutes, you could actually cook food on it! it burns my legs, and if its on a table, it just shuts down.

How old is it, can you take it back to Dell as a health safety issue? it seems rediculous

If not it looks like your going to be buying one of those cooling trays

errrmmm 2 years in march.

so what one do you think looks better?

 

[custard]

shouldnt you fix the case 1st?

the case can wait- i can still use the laptop with a broken case atm anyway, the overheating makes my computer so slow and really slack too.

paul made one of these, ask paul

Have you checked to see if there were any recalls......but as far as the e-bay things their much the same. Mind all the heat comes from the processor so will they cool the processor as I doubt there are any vents in the laptop that will lign up with the cooling tray's....maybe getting it opened and fitting a stronger fan next to the processor would help better.

Instead of wasting money on items that may reduce the temperature of the laptop by a fraction, why not try and figure out why it's overheating in the first place? Problem is only likely to get alot worse and your nice new laptop cooler will be ineffective.

no there was no recalls, theres loads of people on the dell forum with the same problem as me.

well i bought the second one, will let you know how it is when it comes

its a fault with the dell 1150's, fans not capable for the amount of heat the laptop produces.

Was going to suggest something due to the model.. IntelCeleron have 1000 problems as it is =/

as for the laptop cooler's.. they dont work amazingly as you would expect.. dont get me wrong. they work. but it wont fix your problem.

Mobilemeter. Let's you monitor CPU and HDD temp. CPU Mhz and Battery charge/discharge rate. Great stuff.

well my laptops been on 3 mins and its 78 degrees c

See what the BIOS says temp is after a restart, In my Experience, sometimes, these windows based monitors can be a bit out!!

May be fine though...

79 is quite hot though, is the fan replaceable? if so, that would be a much better investment. You can cool the laptop as much as you can, but if you don't cool the CPU and fry it your stuffed!!

Laptops do suffer from bad heating anyway, as to the design of the case, so it will run a bit hotter than the desktop..

for a celeron i wouldnt be supprised if its burning its self out, thats why its shutting down.

the tray wont do a thing, it hardley moves any air as it then its in the wrong place so i would be amazed if it worked.

you can probably get laptop fans just find a beefy one with a high CFM (50+ min)

alsom why the hell down you just buy a destop pc?

What generation celeron is it? I had to condem a P3 750 to death because it was overheating. I tried everything. Re-seating the heatsink, replacing the fan. In the end it was just too unstable to work with.

Does your heatsink sit directly on the CPU or does it use a heat-pipe design where a the CPU is covered by a small flat block and the actual heat sink sits further away on the end of a pipe?
