    Hey guys,

    I am completely out of my depth but need a laptop cooler for my 17" Pavillion notebook

    Can anybody suggest one that is under £25 and reliable

    I would also prefer it if it was an exact fit, bit if it's worth it, I would get one that overhung

    Thankyou! :)

    I finally settled for using two small Fellowes coolers, side-by-side. I anchored them to a cookie sheet, and because they both had built-in four-port USB hubs, I daisy-chained one to the other so that it only uses one USB port to run four fans.

    Worked well until last night when my DV9730 GPU croaked...!

    Look at my Enermax Aeolus CP001 Review in Sig. ;)

    Im not sure if its available in your country though, but look around and check Ebay. ;)

    Also look for the NZXT Cryo and Zalman NC2000. :)

    That is exactly what I'm looking for!

    Thankyou :)

    So, there's no overhang with it?

    Overhang? Of the laptop?

    ...Oh, yes, a little. I didnt notice that part of your request. :eek:
    Its not bad though, at least it doesnt bother me. But its no more than half an inch, if that. Look at the review, theres plenty of pictures of it in there. :p
