    Do you have a picture of the bottom?

    Without seeing that its hard to determine which cooler would function best for it

    I think a Zalman NC2000 should do a good job, you will have to have it a bit low on the cooler but it will fit :)

    No. On all G50, the round silver/ orange vent is blocked by ASUS. You can unlock it manually, but someone here have tested and found out that unlocking the vent can make CPU/ GPU cooler, but other components (like RAM, HDD...) hotter. So that the intake of air into the laptop will be all the small holes. I suggest some cooler that can blow air on a large surface.

    The Infinite can blow air from the whole metal mesh. Don't look a the pictures in the review to rate the quality of its plastic. In real life, the quality of Infinite's plastic is better.

    That is what the Zalman NC2000 does do... the Infinite's cooling surface is actually mainly around the edge and not the entire surface if you look at the design you can see why. Most of the cooler under the mesh is not for air to escape but the plastic form. Like so:

    Just wondering, do you think the Zalman NC2000 would work with the Gateway P-7805U FX Edition?
