I am not looking for a pad with fans in it. Too noisy and flimsy. Why not link a solid state chilling device to (or under) the internal heat sink? Nexus makes a pad with a heat sink (quiet) but I am looking for active, versus passive, cooling.
BTW, I have replaced the internal (noisy) fan in my Dell 8200 laptop, which required the total disassembly of the laptop. Not recommended!

Look up 'peltier' in google... peltier effect coolers are solid state heat pumps that will run your (passive) heatsink hotter than your processor.
Company called 'quick cool' sell them, but they burn electricity at a huge rate. Example:
3cm square pad (ie 3 cm by 3 cm) 4 mm thick will shift 34 watts of heat out from the cold side but will use 60 watts of electricity... so the hot side has to lose over 90 watts. Mind you, that runs the hot side about 70 degrees kelvin (about 120 degrees farenheit) hotter than the cold side. Costs about 50 euro (50 dollar) plus shipping.
I am *not* related to quick cool in any way, they are just the first example I found.

If you think asbout it, every one would be different. To design something that is not universal, would be way too expensive. If you think about it, every case, and every motherboard, is layed out differently, which is a big offset in such a project.
I'm sure theres a way you can design something to funnel air in the direction, but you must understand you have to sacrafice size, noise, and weight. If you wanted a fairly decent cooling machine, ebst bet was a laptop, and everyone must understand that is a con with laptops. Making them so small takes away the ability to increase the size of a heatsink and fan, which means more heat.
If you are that desperate, you can always underclock your cpu, so it runs slower, useses less power, in return gives off less heat.
Hope it helps!!

Yes solid state drives come in several types ide and sata you can get the one thats right for your pc and any operating system XP and above should pick it right up.. As for being better yes it has faster seek times and little to no heat generation and lower power consumption. Now as for it not running properly was this a clean operating install if it is make sure you downloaded the chipset drivers for your model as well. Also see if dma or udma is enabled on your drive you can discover this by right clicking the drive and selecting properties....
