    Hey guys, I have been reading and studying up on a laptop cooler for my new laptop for quite a while now and I just can't make up my mind, so thought I'd ask here.
    I would have the cooler on pretty much as long as the laptop is on. I'd preffer it to be relatively "quiet", I had the HAVIT 3 fan cooler F2056 (I noticed this is probably one of the generic ones you can buy onmass from China, couple of resellers have them, Aukey, TeckNet etc., I don't really have a problem with this) for about a month, it was actually pretty decent, solid air, not totally silent but it wasn't that bad, I returned it as it was causing a bit of vibration (loose bearing?) as well as the fan positioning wasn't optimal. Otherwise the build quality seemed decent and the overall design was to my liking (holes on the side and back but still able to rest it pretty much anywhere with little legs that prop it up at the back a bit), low profile look, simple.
    I would obviously like it to last a bit and preferably be portable, good fan positioning. This is the bottom of the laptop H507
    Here's the options I found.

    Cooler Master NotePal U3 PLUS

    This seems to be one of the favs. Especially when modded. My issues with it is the slightly larger size, probably wouldn't fit a backpack very easily and the slightly higher price of £33 for a piece of metal that is suggested to be addd with another £47 worth of mods. I do like that you can easily position the fans and have an open access to them though.

    Cooler Master Ergostand III
    I quite like the design of this, the fan is accessible and seems to give pretty good cooling. The price is too much though, around £60 as it seems to be in short supply here in the UK. I am not sure if this is a rip-off or just an older model rebranded? but I found this one for fraction of the price.

    Vanble Chillmat
    Alright positioning, 4 bigger fans, low profile, slightly more expensive at £27.

    KLIM Chillmat
    Another four fan one, much cheaper around £13-16

    Zalman ZM-NS2000
    One big fan, Zalman seems to be favourable around here too. Not sure if it's servicable? £30

    Deepcool Multi Core X6
    Pretty nice looking, alright positioning, £20

    5Fan Variants similar to this one

    Ranges between £15-27

    Also does anyone know if the vacuum fans like Opolar fit on the back of this thing somehow? It would be blocking the bottom holes and the back positioning isn't ideal (GFX card is blowing the heat out of the back, my CPU is otherwise relatively cool so no need to get it on there)

    Thanks in advance!

    Sorry for the repost from the Acceccories threads but maybe I'll get more luck here too.

    I used to use a laptop cooler with my P650sg but found them bulky and not really helpful. It increases the height of the laptop making it difficult and painful to use. What I ended up using now is a mini USB fan like this one

    I works great. I place it on the top right corner angled towards the laptop and above my mouse to help remove the warm air exhausted from the top of the laptop as well as provide cool air under the laptop.

    Interesting, thanks for the tip! I actually have my laptop propped up on a box infront of me, so no worries about poorly hands, that's already covered :D. I had pretty consistent temps and about 3 degree difference with the old HAVIT cooler, so I think at least for me it does work. Still not sure what to get...kind of wish there was a store/database where you could put in your laptop/model number and see what's best for it.
