Does the venting suffice to keep the laptop from overheating? I'm wondering if I really need the fans.

I only use the stand at work for a standard desk top. Yes I believe you will need the vent due to no ventilation on the stand. I hope this Is useful.

I believe every hardware gets hottee as they get more stressful tasks. As far as I have used, it doesn't get noticeably hotter than any other laptops I have used. All you need is a decent laptop cooler.

If you're not overclocking, it has plenty of ventilation. Mine came with one extra fan. I added two more since my q9650 is running at 3.2ghz. No problems so far.

It should be really quiet, even when on high perf. Make sure not to block bottom vents with blanket or so on. In worse case download the laptop heat meter and test it.

I'm not sure what you are asking here. Why would a fan mess up your laptop? It works as expected and keeps the laptop cool. Perhaps that answers your question.

Yes it will, in fact I'm pretty sure that's what it's designed for. The fans (2) are located on the top of the "platform" you set the laptop on, so the air blows upward. It works reasonably well unless it's a really hot day and I'm watching YouTube videos, then it still overheats and shuts down.I should add, however, that my cooling fan no longer works at all, so if your fan works but just isn't cooling it enough, it should work really well.

Make sure that there is a good airflow. I installed an extra fan in the side of my PC and so far its good. Cases with PSU on the bottom seem to have more issues with overheating if psu is blowing inside

I have bought three of these cases and none came with fans. It would have to be an add-on by the vendor. There is so much ventilation on case that fans aren't needed, IMO, unless you are using a hot running CPU. In that situation this might not be the best choice for a case.

The laptop may hang over the edges but you can set the two fans wherever you want so it should be able to cool where it gets hot.

This lapdesk does not have any ventilation ports. There are also no fans. But the surface is firm, so it would be no different than placing your laptop on a table. Your laptop should have enough gap between the laptop and the lapdesk to provide ventilation.

The type of CPU heat sink/fan used in this case should have the fan blow into the heat sink and not away from it. The nice thing about this case is that is is very well ventilated and heat can not build up inside of it. Try not to install the hard drive over the CPU fan if you can.

The Exhaust vent is in a very good spot on this computer in my opinion. It would be very hard to plug this vent accidentally. The warm air exits in the middle under the monitor towards the screen side. I have done a lot of gaming and so far have not noticed any excessive heat.

Get a good case with good air flow. At least 6 fans. I have no issues with heat whatsoever.

The fans do a decent job but I still recommend a laptop cooler. I use a Cooler Master laptop cooler for mine

are you having cooling issues? between the PSU fan and a slot fan exhausting near the CPU, you shouldn't add turbulence to your case. there is enough venting in this case, that with a proper cooling fan on the CPU that you shouldn't need extra. But you should always create a "flow" when aiming your fans.one side of the case is a intake, the other is exhaust. I make the rear a exhaust and place a HD cooling bay in the 5.25 bay.

Hello and thank you for your question. The laptop pad blows air "towards" your unit. The clutes/slots help draw the radiant heat from the laptop and the two, albeit quiet motors, blow cool air from underneath the pad and towards the laptop's base. It like a convection heat dispersal system, like in your house. The vents along the soffit help the roof vents on top of the roof draw cool, outside air and the hot heat rises to the top and out the vent on the roof. I hope this helps.Cheers!!

The laptop has inlet vents on the bottom and exhaust vents on the top, so any air you pump into the bottom will increase the flow through all of the pathways. That's just how the laptop is designed. This has one large fan I the middle, which will definitely force enough air through to make a difference in all sections of the laptop.
