Adding an extra PC fan for HP pavilion 15 Cs0053cl

[Chukwudi_Godwin]

Good day please is it possible to solder an extra PC fan female connector to my HP pavilion 15 motherboard in order to increase heat dissipation or is there a better HP pavilion 15 Cs0053cl fan I can use cause mine keeps making this wired unusual noise when the laptop reach above 50⁰c

No, it does not have room for you to mount a fan. The best option is to use external fan(s) such as

If it's making a weird sound when it speeds up, the bearings have dried up. New fans don't cost too much and are relatively easy to change. We can walk you through it if you want.

It actually has room to add an extra PC fan as shown in the image below

Here is your Service Guide- http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06248419.pdf  There is a listing for various heat sinks and fan combos for that line of laptops, yours seems to be one with no discreet graphics. The ones that shipped with discreet graphics uses dual fan combo and possibly a different heat sink.

It may be possible to order a heatsink and fan combo to use in your laptop but there would be several issues to consider.

50C is nothing for a laptop. 90C is where you'd see throttling. If you have wierd noise when the fan is just turning on, I'd suggest oiling the fan or get a new one before attempting to use a dual fan meant for cpu and discrete gpu that isn't there.

I have this same laptop. The above answers aren't correct about not being able to add a second fan, but you need to solder another connector on. I will post you pictures of mine once it's opened up again. The little connector is impossible to find.

Yes it has room, it needs the other connector soldered on.
