Inspired by Swizl's and BillG's posts in the thread "More Questions about Required Specs for Laptops"
I decided to open this thread in order to obtain as much information about avoiding frying my Matchbook or iMac.
By using a cooling unit it looks like not only did BillG cut his render time in almost half but I bet he also saved wear and tear on his computer.
When I was trying to render a 26 second animated file (It had tons of particles in a particle Emitter to simulate rain) my computer was very very hot and the fans were blowing almost of the time.
Calling all beloved Geeks:
If anyone has more information on this it would be greatly helpful . . . hopefully to all of us.
If anyone used a cooling unit what kind?
Pros and Cons on the unit you use.
Thanks
