    Basically I am looking at these 2 coolers
    Zalman zm-NC2000
    Vizo Ninja II
    If any body has any nice unbiased reviews and info about these laptops coolers would greatly appreciated.
    I'm looking for heat reduction and noise levels of the fans but mostly cooling.
    Any other suggestions for laptop coolers would be greatly appreciated also.

    I recommend that you read the Notebook Coolers Buyers Guide ( A link can be found in my signature)

    For your specific notebook I highly recommend a NZXT Cryo LX if it fits within your budget as it is generally the ultimate cooler for the fan and vent alignment of your notebook.

    I have also moved your thread to the Accessories forum as it is more suitable for your thread.

    Great job on the cooler guide.
    I have read conflicting reports for the NZXT Cryo LX being loud with the 3 fans is that true?

    It is on the louder side of notebook coolers but for your system the noise would be IMO worth it as the alignment of the cooler and notebook vents/fans is just right.

    Have you heard anything about Vizo Ninja II, they compared it against a Zalman NC200 and gave it better reviews.
    http://www.techpowerup.com
    on the conclusion for the test with the Zalman, you can find it under Similar Reviews
    It was a little cheaper in price.

    It will not match the 4 fans on your notebook making it a waste of cash in your case.
