Step 2: Fan Connection

Connect all CPU Fan's in Parallel.

Step 3: You Will Need a USB Cable for Power

You can use old Micro USB to USB Cable

Step 4: Cut the Cable

Cut the cable and after tha you will need only two wires

1. Black [GND]

2. Red [+5v]

Step 5: Connections

Connect the +ve of the USB to the +ve of the fan

and -ve to the -ve of the fan.

Step 6: Measure the Fan Voltage.

I have connected the USB to the power bank and then I measured the voltage.

it is about 4.7 v not 12v

Step 7: So, We Need Step Up Boost Converter

It will increase the voltage to our need Voltage 12V

Step 8: Boost Converter Connection

Connect the vin +ve and -ve to the USB cable

and also connect outgoing wires.

I like this use of the step up converter. Also I can see how it would be easy to shorten the screws
and add rubber feet for safer and easier tabletop use. I dont imagine using this type of laptop
cooler on the road or when it is not plugged in but I am sure it draws power mucn more quickly
from a 3.7v power pack.

Yaa you are right buddy

It will work quite a lot with 10000mah power bank i know the losses of voltage conversation but all

 in all it is a handy project.
Thanks for reading my post.

It looks quite cool, literally. However - did you measure the current draw? Especially the peak draw
could be quite high. I would be worried when the Notebook stays cool, but the board gets toasted
anyway by the current. ;)

Yes, You are right I have measured the current it was about 1.8 amp with boost converter and 0.7A
without boost converter So I use my PowerBank or Phone Charger to operate it. For the video i
Just Showed it was working.

Epic cooling pad. About how much does this affect your laptop's battery life?

when you will connect with step-up boost converter then it takes about 1.8A current so better to
use an external power bank or any phone charger. if you want to use with laptop power then don't
use step-up converter just directly connect USB to fans and it will take 0.7A [0.14x5=0.7]
**Speed Will be slow

Looks good, but I feel it stands too high off the table in the front. The back legs can stay that
height. But, I would use very short bolts for the front legs, so that the front of the laptop rises only a
quarter inch above the table. Therefore, it helps it to put your laptop on an angle so it's easier on
and more natural for your wrists.

Yes, you are right, I have used short bolts at first but it was too much slippery so the laptop falls
down so, I had to use some type of rubber or something else for friction but that time I don't have
that. so, i used same bolts.
thanks for viewing...
