Laptop Cooler

High performance laptops tend to create large amounts of heat due to the construction of high-power components in a thin chassis. This large amount of heat can lead to thermal throttling, reducing performance. Blowing cool air into the bottom of a laptop has proven to reduce temperatures significantly. Using a design that creates a seal between the base of the laptop and the cooling fans achieves the highest efficacy. I designed a laptop cooler that uses closed-cell foam to ensure a seal between the laptop and the cooler for maximum cooling performance. The design uses three 120mm PWM fans with a foam ring and a plastic housing with a 2.8" SPI LCD to display various settings as well as CPU/GPU temperatures.
