    About to take the plunge on the D900F but just wanted some opinions on what cooling solutions I should add/use?

    1) Pro-Star gives you the option to use AS5 or IC Diamond Thermal Compound on the CPU and GPU. Read a lot about both products and seems like the IC Diamond has better results for idle and under load conditions. Any additional opinions from members here, ie does IC Diamond need reapplying every year like AS5 or any personal issues with either product?

    2) Deciding if I should buy the Zalman NC2000B or NZXT CRYO LX. Based on where the vents are for the D900F/9280, towards the mid to rear of the notebook, looks like the NZXT is a better choice since their vents are better situated while Zalman's vents seems to be torward the front to mid.

    Any comments or opinions would be appreciated.
