A quick experiment to see if attaching a blower style fan to the top vent of my Microsoft Surface Pro will help make it run games faster/with higher FPS.

Here is the prototype frankencooler duct I created using TinkerCad.

Feel free to adapt it (non-commercially) for your own purposes. I printed using a monoprice maker select plus printer. (Wanhao i3 Plus rebranded)

I used this USB Powered 7515 Blower Fan from Amazon:

I want to eventually compare these results to using a fan blowing on the back of the device and see which method improves FPS the most.


My surface is Surface Pro 7 Core i5, fanless, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD. I had it plugged into power during the test and set to the "max performance" energy management profile.
