Notebook Coolers : A Buyers Guide

[zijin_cheng]

so far, no one has been able to tell me which one out of the 3 coolers are best, zalman nc2000, enermax aeolus or cooler master infinite for specifically the dv5t. also, by how much were the temps dropped by?

I have a studio xps 1640 with ATI 4670.....am goin to buy a notebook cooler.....I heard the Zalman NC2000 is quite good...but unfortunately it isnt available in India but I can get it from US thru my cuz......The notepal infinite is available in India......

Is there a considerable difference between NC2000 and Infinite? Which one should I go for?

[cooljoe333]

any other (better) cooler will also be appreciated!

Hi cooljoe333. I have the same config as yours...and am looking for a cooler for this beast! Let me know which one are you finalizing (as I am from India too!) I will be hunting for the same in Nehru Place (Delhi) sometime next week.

Guys, let us know the best deal we can get for the 1640...Things are getting hot to handle here! Thanks!

Hi,

I have a Dell 1525 notebook and looking for a cooler, what can you suggest?

1) Budget - $30-$40

2) Is noise an issue for you?
Yes, something with fan speed control.

3) Post a picture: link

4) Do you have a color preference? black or silver

5) Any brands you would like to avoid? Not yet ...

My first choice is a NotePal X2 http://www.coolermaster.com/product....roduct_id=6610 or maybe a NotePal Infinite.
I think that a NotePal AX cooler is not suitable for my laptop (because of the laptop fans)

Thanks

Hello:

Great thread. Thanks for it! I have ordered a Dell Studio XPS 16. I searched through this thread, but did not find recommendations for that model. What can you suggest?

Dell Studio XPS 16 with i7-720QM (1.6GHz)

1) Budget - $50 or so

2) Is noise an issue for you?
Yes, I want something quiet. I would consider passive coolers that provide some cooling improvement, or a quiet active cooler (fans).

3) Post a picture: just ordered it, so I do not have it yet.

4) Do you have a color preference? No

5) Any brands you would like to avoid? No

could you try and find a pic online or take one when you get the unit please

Could you post a picture of your notebook's bottom please

I would try out the X2, its a solid choice, the only thing is there is no fan control and it is on the noisy side.

Try shopbot.ca or pricegrabber canada

Unfortunately I havent heard good things about it try it out and tell me what you think!

[adrianp03]

thanks X2P for the info

It's any chance like the notebook to slip from the stand?, I don't see any rubber on it (NotePal X2)
Zalman ZM-NS1000F is better than a NotePal X2?!

[zijin_cheng]

is $28 for the notepal x2 a good price?
