A Question about the Zalman NC1000

I was wondering how far down the laptop, from the top, are the holes located? It looks about 1/4 of the way down to me.

I am just curious because I might pick one of these up, and I am on the M-152XL, I just want them to cover all my vents.

Yeah about 1/4 I say. You can find a billion images of it on google or here on the forums. I have to slide my C90S as far towards me as possible to get the air to reach my intake area.

 

Im pretty confident the Zalman will cover all of my vents except for the very top one (see picture if you want to know what im talking about)

Why would Zalman make the holes so far down...thats past me.

 

I would guess that their aim was over all cooling vs specific cooling of just the back. Zalmans tend to cool the whole system in general including the chassis. And alot of notebooks have hotspots under the touchpad area where most have ram/hdd etc alot of heat for many users.

 

I noticed that there is a possibility of adding two more fans (not that i think i can but you never know). Any idea if thats possible, power wise?

 

You would have to use a saw and dremel and a drill to do it and it wouuld be VERY VERY hard and very risky

Power wise you could force 2 fans to power off the right usb and 2 fans to power off the left.

Generally this would be a complete waste of time and cost you quite a bit.
