Anyone using or know about cooling fans hat actually works? Im looking for one but from the most reviews ive read so far, havent found anything doing a good job.

Why would you want one? Seems to me that it doesn't actually do anything useful, except for making noise... Is your notebook running so hot that it needs extra cooling? I.e. do you experience crashes because of overheating issues? Maybe there is a better solution, if so.

Well i have installed a program measuring the heat cause at some point you could hear the fan working (wasnt silent as before) and it was up to 80 degrees C. So if it runs that hot now in summer will explode Thats why im looking for a solution right now before the heat hits us.

80 C is not really too bad, when CPU is at 100%, I get that too, then the internal fan kicks in, and cools it down.
It's been that way for 5 years of heavy use, and the CPU is still okay. In low CPU situations my laptop is almost completely silent at 57 C. When the CPU is at 100% for extended periods it goes to 85 C, and the fan gets a bit noisy. I've never needed any additional cooling, so I wouldn't worry about it. The internal fan should be able to handle it.
and changed the title lol
