    Hi all,


    It's getting pretty hot where I live in, and I need a cooler for my F3Jc. F3 owners, what cooler are you using? I've read that the fans on the cooler need to be aligned with the ones on the laptop, for best results. I've also looked at some of the coolers and they don't seem very compatible with my laptop, so I'm open to suggestions.

    Thanks in advance.

    I am quite a heavy Battlefield 2142 gamer so obviously i just get a huge heat build up when playing that and due to summer being here there is a larger chance of me getting major heat problems so bought a notebook cooler

    The one i bought was the Antec Notebook Cooler Pad, the main reason i choose this pad was because i have heard good things of it and that it comes with a full 3 years parts and labour warranty. Also when i bought my notebook the cooler was one of the recommended products to buy with it.

    The Cooling pad has an aluminium plate coating which is used to absorb the heat from the bottom of the Notebook, it then has two fans which work by extracting air from inside the notebook to get any heat out of there. These fans do align themselves quite nicely to the grilled sections undernieth

    I would fully recommend this product and i have noticed i am running cooler in games than before.

    The only problem i can find is that i have to position my notebook carefully as the Pad must not be designed to accommodate 15.4" notebooks but it does still fit on nicely
