    hi,

    i want to buy a cooling pad for my notebook,recently i started playing heavy games and the temps got really high (CPU around 94c and GPU around 90c..the rest of the temps are pretty much fine).

    my notebook specs are compatible with heavy games:
    DELL inspiron n5110:

    Intel Core i7-2630QM 2ghz
    8gb DDR3
    geforce gt 525m 1gb

    however this model has some known heat issues..so i decided to buy a cooling pad.

    i am having doubts which of the following two cooling pads is better for the purpose of cooling notebook with heat issues while playing heavy games:
    zalman nc2000 or zalman nc3000?


    p.s.

    i have heard that cooler master storm force 19 is also a great cooling pad...is it better than those two zalman coolers?,and if it is,how better is it? because i think its not available in my country...

    thanks a lot.

    There are some good hints here http://forum.notebookreview.com/8236407-post5.html
    I researched this recently and found that both of the Zalmans do not move a lot of air so do not produce great temp reductions.
    There are some hints here AFA downclocking also Inspiron N5110 temperature question - Laptop General Hardware Forum - Laptop - Dell Community
    the CM Storm http://forum.notebookreview.com/accessories/607568-recommendations-best-laptop-cooler.html moves a lot more air, and the fans can be upgraded if needed.
