    Hey Guys,

    I'm looking for an ASUS C90s cooler because I've heard that they can get pretty hot could anyone recommend one? (Fan/Fanless are all good)

    Thanks

    Check out the Zalman ZM-NC1000 (comes in black or silver)

    Its probably the most recommended cooler for notebooks... that game especially.

    Thanks for the quick reply,
    that looks like a good cooler always trust Zalman products. Any other coolers?, if not I'll go for the Zalman.

    I'm waiting for the Thermaltake T1000 to come out. It looks interesting (just Google Thermaltake NBcool T1000).
    Of couse, it's still a few weeks away, I think.

    The Zalmans was the one I wanted, however I feel the notebook should cool itself without aid perfectly especially given its turbo engine.


    The other cooler I have my eye on tho is the coolermaster infinity because it has air output everywhere and a rear intake instead of a bottom intake so it can go in your lap on or a bed, things like that.

    Yeah I was wondering, which notebook cooler would give the best cooling performance in a C90S?

    well the problem with the c90s ::looks at he bottom:: uh well you need to have the fan either at the front to provide the turbo engine in back proper air flow... which in theory should provide the best cooling...

    the obvious problem? nobody makes one with the fan there... most fans would be positioned in the middle of the laptop where there are no ventilation holes...

    this laptop in general would be very hard to cool i believe

    Haha, well actually I tried that (box fan) and it would be the cheapest and best cooler for sure, however its not economic like a real cooler.

    That one opening at the bottom of the c90 where the ram and southbridge is, is where you want the most airflow. I am hopefull the zalman can do it because thats the one I like the most with its high build quality and great looks. However its expensive and really the c90 should function just fine under its own cooling.

    I am also looking at the Zalman NC-1000. How would it fit with the Clevo/Sager NP5790/1?

    Would it match the NP5790/1 to cool properly?

    How about the size of the cooler as compared to the laptop?

    It is hard to tell, but does the Zalman NC-1000 have its air intake from the bottom only or the sides as well? I would like to know this as I will be using it in hotels while traveling and sitting on the couch or in the recliner while at home.

    /raise from dead

    Anyone can suggest a laptop cooler after nearly a year of the start of this thread? I'm gaming a lot these days and I could use a cooler. Zalman still the best choice?
