I have tried USB cooling fan for guite some time now, and it makes my T43p cooler - even without turning the USB-fans on (because the space underneath the lap top makes cirkulation of air better ?)

If the fan isn't on, then you get a very small increase in passive cooling from the space as the T43, nor any of the T4X Series systems, have any huge vents on the bottom of the chassis.

If it works for you, plug it in and enjoy.

maybe it can help to ventilate the heat underneath my thinkpad

I continue to be a fan of the Targus Traveler CoolPad ... depending on where you buy it, $12 or so, works great, produces the passive cooling space, and best of all, takes very little room in one's computer bag. (The link takes you to an Amazon associate link ... I have pics there of my T43 on one.)

All the bigger, more expensive ones with USB bells and whistles are just hot air imho.
