    I'm looking to buy a notebook cooler to my Zepto 6214W, but I don't want to spend €40 on something that's too loud or doesn't do the job right.

    Does anyone here have any experience with notebook coolers and if it's worth getting one?

    I understand that there are both fanless ones and those with fans. Fanless sounds quiet enough :) but does it work?

    There are a couple reviews floating around here. The cooling guide has a few, and I did a review on a fanless model here.

    I don't think that the fanless coolers are really worth the money, personally.

    Keep in mind where your system's components are placed and where the various fans/heatsinks are so that you can find a cooler that will blow/suck cool air in/out of them.
