    second @ Zalman 2000. its a bit expensive but very well worth the money. Even putting the laptop on it without even turning the fans can lower the temperature and keep it under control. That's how good it is

    Yup, in 18 months I have never had any heat issues with my Studio 16. Worth every penny!

    Got mine Friday, it's awesome. My 1645 use to get really hot while gaming. The palm rest would be so hot, it was damn right uncomfortable! But with the Zalman 2000, stays cool to the touch! Highly recommended!

    Honestly there is no reason besides weight and price to avoid the Zalman NC2000 and NC3000. It is a great cooler.

    <3 my NZXT Cryo LX, keeps my lappy 3-9c cooler and it adds extra ports which is hugely needed for my SXPS 1645
