    Any recommendations?

    Question, when the Whitebook fan starts spinning (kind of noisy), is it triggered from CPU load or by current CPU temperatures? If I buy the Zalman cooler, will the CPU fan never spin? I want a really quiet setup.

    I think most users would recommend the Cryo NZXT over the Zalman NC2000. But if you really want a quiet setup, the Zalman should be perfectly fine anyways. Fans should be triggered by GPU/CPU temps (someone correct me if I'm wrong). The laptop fan will still spin if temps rise to their trigger level, but temps will be cooler if the laptop cooler is positioned correctly.

    Is the NZXT preferable for the OCZ because of the Whitebook's fan placement?

    I'm also wondering why the Zalman has better reviews on newegg vs the NZXT. Not sure which one to get btwn these two..
