    Hello guyz.

    I just bought a NC1000 cooler for my laptop. I was wondering what kind of devices i can plug in the extra usb slot without causing any troubles.. I have a Logitech V150 laser mouse. Is it ok to plug it in the cooler's extra USB slot?

    Thx in advance!

    with the nc2000, I have tried the mouse, a usb pen drive and the external hard disk... mouse worked fine.. initially the pen drive and etx hard disk worked fine, but few times recently file transfers were not completed.. getting stuck kinds.. so stopped using it... and didn't really bother to check it again or see why... though the power supply from the laptop for fans running is still fine.. so I know its not a problem with the usb port on the cooler...

    Nothing of that sort for sure... and I havent seen any issues with USB because / with the Zalman...

    I am sure its something else, most probably OS file transfer process and related.... dont worry :)

    Edit: Testing again now.. but not file transfer, but listening to music off my ext. hard disk, connected to the USB on the Zalman :) and its playing fine... but the file transfer got stuck... but I can transfer file' directly between computer and ext. hard disk... so there..
