I have recently bought laptop with Intel i7-8550U and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050.
I noticed that fan gets really loud so I opened bottom panel to see what is going on...
To me this thermal design looks really bad but I am no expert of the field.
It seems to be designed in a way that fan would suck air from vents on the left and bottom and then out through copper fins on the edge of laptop.
But fan seems to struggle with this and is really noisy and whistling.
Most of laptops have different design with an air intake right above fan so it can suck cold ambient air from outside.
I think i'll design a replacement panel and ask a friend to 3D print it for me.
This panel will have a big air intake above fan. I'll do a stress test before and after the mod to see what happens with temps inside and fan speed.
What do you guys think about this?
