I need some help choosing between coolers. I will be ordering an HPdv6-2144NR today from newegg and wanted to get my cooler with it. I have looked at hundreds of reviews on coolers and I am torn between 3 of them. Can someone please recommend what they think would be best? The options are Zalman NC 1000, Thermaltake Massive 23 CS, and Cryo LX. I am using my laptop as a desktop replacement, so heaviness is not an issue. I just want something that will cool the best. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am placing the order today.

Here is a link to the bottom of the laptop if that helps

Cryo LX is nice I use it with my Gateway P7801u and it works very well.

Thank you for the advice. I am holding off on ordering a good cooler until I have done more research and have the laptop in hand to see what the hotspots are. I ordered a cheap lapcool3 for about 12 bucks until I have made a decision. I figure it is better to have something rather than nothing. I have heard that HP's can run hot.
