    i like the zalman nc2000, but it has not been released yet, therefore i'm now looking for one that is currently on the market. i need something that will cool a sager 5791/2.

    the Zalman ZM-NC1000 is still on of best best at the moment.

    Many Clevo M570RU owners use it and like it.

    i believe there are some pics on this forum already with people using the new Clevo's with this cooler.

    This is with the M570RU... and the footing is perfectly fits onto the cooler.

    The 1000 works well with my rig even though there is overhang. The computer's feet all fit squarely on the cooler and it is rock solid. There is no movement when typing or gaming.

    I use the zalman nc-1000 when I'm on the go. It barely fits my M5750 and only 2 of the 4 rubber pads of the laptop can actually be placed within the cooler. On idle there wasn't any differences in the temps but on full load the temps only went down by 2C. Guess my expectations for the cooler were too high.

    NP! I cannot say that it is better than what is already suggested but since it is the same cooler essentially just made for 17s it might be worth waiting for. I don't think it will be too much longer before they are released everywhere. If you can't wait, the one suggested will probably work fine for now as well! If you get one of these babies (either model) let me know how it works out! :)

    thanks a lot guys/gals, i think i'm going to wait for the zm-nc2000. i'm kinda picky and don't want the sides of my laptop to stick out.

    They will still overhang, just not as much. Either way it's a good choice.
