    Anybody own a nice laptop cooler that works really well with the m14x?


    I usually run my laptop oC'd at home with my room sitting at around 60F so my temps are pretty cool but I still haven't tried Oc'ing my gfx. Before I get to that I want to buy a nice cooler that works well. Considering the placements of the vents on the m14x has anyone found something that works exceptional?

    I have a CM U2 and I'm really happy with it, it's silent and keep my m14x cool, never exceeded 80c for CPU and 70c for GPU

    Is the M14x too big for the cooler master U1 (made for 14inch laptops) or are you guys getting the U2 because it has an additional fan?

    The U1 is pretty small. U2 is a better fit and the 2 fans are nice.

    Cooler Master U2 on the desk, and the LapGear CoolSurf LapDesk Model 45403 when sitting on the couch. I recommend both of them.
