    Hey guys,
    I'm getting my SXPS 16 soon and I know it gets really hot. So can you give me the best cooler for it at a resonable budget?
    Thanks!

    So far my old Antec Notebook Cooler To Go has proved to provide sufficient cooling. Nice thing about the To Go is it travels well, which is good for a notebook cooler. I'm sure the Zalman would be more effective as it also acts as a heatsink and not just to aid air flow, but the To Go looks to work just fine.

    How did it work for you?

    Are you using the system for any gaming?

    Thanks,

    George

    IMO any really. I got the cheap collapsible one off eBay and it works fine. When I game for a long time though it's insufficient so I just use a table fan =)
