steffi Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 The reason it's nice is becuse it's quite small and comes with it's own AC Adapter which is world wide voltage. It's about the same size of a credit card and about a thick as the length of the USB port connector. It's a really nice find. It's by a company called High-Edge Tech and it's their USB 2.0 7 Port HUB. Cost me $550 thb I went looking for a notebook cooling stand and I've been looking for the 3 fan version of the common acrylic one with blue lit fans. Only can find the 2 fan version of this.

joka Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hey, A bit of a coincidence, I just bought a new usb hub and a new notebook stand. The hub...is a Samsung Pleomax 4 port, and it also has a plug for external power, and came with a cable with a red usb plug on one end and the power plug on the other. I guess I can plug the hub into two usb ports on my laptop to get more power to the hub? I also bought a metal 3 fan laptop stand. I cut the wires to two of the fans and left the fan under the cpu alone. I looked at the temperatures with three fans and with one fan, they were the same. I wondered if 3 fans going was using too much power from the usb port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steffi Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 Well normally the stands say how much power they require. I think there are too many 3 fan models for that to be a problem really but perhaps the 2 fan stand is sufficient. Hey, A bit of a coincidence, I just bought a new usb hub and a new notebook stand.

JustAnotherFarang Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 My stand is pretty non descript. Black plastic, 2 fans and a usb connector. But it keeps the temperature down nicely. Cost me 300 bht at Panthip JAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
