    Hi guys!

    What brand/model of laptop cooler are you guys using with your Asus laptops?

    It's getting hot here in Milan and my laptop's case is noticeably warmer to the touch. I also noticed the G1 crash when playing some games/programs for a long time. Examples: Maxis Sim City Deluxe, Sid Meyer's Railroads, Adobe Premiere Pro.

    Regards!

    The Zalman Notebook Cooler is highly regarded with notebook users, although it is a bit on the expensive side.

    Do a search - there's lots of threads about this.

    I have the spire pacific breeze and the antec notebook cooler.

    I recommend the spire - cheap and it works well.

    I have a Vantec LapCool 3 on my V1, but it seems to only make a difference when on the high side.

    Make sure you verify that the intake vent on the laptop actually lines up properly with where the fans are on the cooler. They might not always in the best place for your laptop since they're made for the general case.

    I apreciate all the replies. It seems I'm going to have to see this item in person at the local store before buying one.

    I also use an Antec Cooler that I picked up at Circuit City for around 15$ after mail in rebate.
