    I have ordered my M860TU and now have decided I'll probably want a cooler for it. I don't have experience with coolers so I wouldn't really know who makes a solid one or who has a good rep other than if I recognize a brand. Not only am I looking for recommendations but I have heard that getting a 17" cooler for a 15.4" form factor is a good idea?


    Opinions, ideas, and suggestions valued and appreciated =P

    Look towards the Zalman ZM-NC1000/NC2000.

    It all depends on the fan location.

    I'll say wait till you get the M860TU, no need to get a cooler if it stays <40C at idle or <70C under loaded.
