    With how the G1S is made, if i have a notebook fan is it better to have the fan draw air downwards? or blow air into the g1s? thanks for the help

    Well there are no fans on the bottom of the notebook, so I would go ahead and get fans that blow upwards, it would probably be more effective that way.

    me too, and i love it :) One thing though: I think it is best to put the G1s on the bottom part of the zalman, so the hottest part of the G1s is above the holes.
