Need a notebook cooler

I have a VGN-N130G notebook...15.4". Want to find a cooler that work with this notebook. Something that fit nicely and work cooling.

I bought the Zalman, but it's doesn't not really keep it cool.

When playing game, my CPU temp is at about 76C, is that normal for Duo Core.

 

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=96083 this may help out.

 

The Targus Tornado Chill Mat and Pacific Breeze Spire are options. Vantec also makes some good coolers. Read the cooling guide for more information.

 

Do you know any good fanless notebook coolers? Someone reviewed one here, but it was way too expensive for me.

 

I'm actually getting a Zalman notebook cooler. All the reviews of it sound pretty good to me

I was thinking of getting a Vantec at one point, until I read this review..

"Does the Vantec LapCool4 LPC-402 cool your notebook? Yes! But it has nothing to do with the fan. It has EVERYTHING to do with the fact that your notebook is elevated enough for cool air to get underneath. So if you can do this with something else, like stuff found around the house, for less money, you might as well pass on the LapCool4."

I'm not sure what fanless cooler was reviewed on this site, but anyway I know Nexus makes one with heatpipes. Not sure how good it is though. And I believe Thermaltake makes one that looks like a pillow that provides a few degrees drop in temperature.

 

This was the one reviewed here:

I liked the efficiency, its basically a piece of aluminum raising your laptop, INGENIOUS!

 

I use one of these...

...pretty good, I don't hear my fan as much as I used to, so it's doing it's job (and it didn't cost a fortune either).


Unicron

 

Circuit City has the Antec cooler for $10 after rebates this week.

Not a bad cooler - I use it.

 

^Yea it was thinking about getting that for 10.

But then again, the Pacific Breeze Spire one is only 15ish and many people seem to love that one.

I dont know.

 

I have the antec cooler but I want the Pacific Breeze Spire. The Antec lifts up the whole laptop as opposed to the Spire which just tilts the back of the laptop up.

 

The Spire Breeze is only 16 after rebates on newegg. Hurry though, I think the deal ends at the end of this month.

 

Looks good but there is a rumor that xpad4laptop is no longer in business and yet still takes people's money. See the 3rd comment in this review. See also this page. For all I know it could be a smear campaign from a disgruntled former employee. Those planing to order from them should use caution and please report to the forum if you interact with them. The product does look good.

 

I bought the Zalman already, and look like it's doesn't cool my laptop at all.

Want to try the Antec for $9.99, don't know it it's will work or not.. and also, want to try Coolermaster W1 widescreen, but just want user opinion on those product.

 

akasa range are better in general for cooling than coolermaster in my opinion of course

 

Xpad4laptop is a victim of their own success. They had some large wholesale orders that used up all their stock and subsequently had production delays. They are now able to fulfill internet orders without delay.

 

StarTech.com Aluminum Fanless 17" Notebook Cooler
