laptop cooler recommendation

[coachman399]

I was too late: my Omen laptop 17t-cb100 IDS Base Model reported fan error 90B. After I cleaned out the accumulated dust and reset fans to "always on" in BIOS - still error 90B. I will carefully clean the many copper fan ducts, install new fans, re-tape ducts, reapply silicone grease. and reassemble. My questions: 

1) Is there a recommendation for an accessory laptop cooler fan? 

2) Is there risk of damage due to accessory cooler fan speed interfering with laptop fan speed? 

Thanks.

@coachman399,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

Please confirm that you are not using 'silicon grease' as a substitute for thermal grease? -Just asking.

In any regards, from what you described, you'll need to replace your CPU + GPU cooling fans.  Finding the part number for this replacement cooling fan kit was a bit more challenging than it should be (thanks HP), but here it is: p/n: 685086-001: New CPU+GPU Cooling Fan Replacement for HP OMEN Laptop 17T-CB100 17-CB1002CA 17-CB1010CA 17-CB1046NR....

Mind you, even if only one of the two cooling fans has failed, you should replace both of them at the same time.

Hope this was helpful.

Kind Regards,

@coachman399,

And lest I forgot to mention it: no, (after replacing your cooling fans) using an additional cooling solution such as a laptop cooling pad such as this fine Amazon purchase example, will not be an issue.
