    Clevo-Sager is known all over the world as a leader in providing excellent cooling for the line of high performance laptops. Their heatsinks are the best in the business as well as the overall cooling.

    There is no provision for cooling it more than what has already been provided. If you need additional cooling you should get a NZXT Notebook cooler...imo... :)

    babyhemi thanks for your respond, as to the cooling of sager it is well known that its one of the best but thats for gaming and other general stuff, mine will be used in a way (cant say for sure) that will heat up the ram and the HDD including the CPU & GPU, so i just want to know if thier ram and HDD have heatsinks or what kind of cooling they have.

    Thanks Bud, posting on it now :)

    hey , thanks guy . As i know that Sager provides the best cooling on the market but in my opinion , it still needs additional cooler . The temp in max load for 3 hours seem to be around 80 Celcius , compared to desktop it's still not better , it may somehow affect the life spans of the hardware, better cooling means better life span for me. Btw Is the one which you provided the best at that price?

    Nothing gets better than the Notepal Ux series. Affordable, portable, versatile.

    Amazon.com: Cooler Master Notepal U2 Notebook Cooler with Two Fans R9-NBC-8PBK-GP: Electronics

    As long as you aren't pushing into the high 80's or god forbid into the 90's, your notebook wil last throughout it's time in service. Ultimately, it all comes down to routine care and maintenance; don't do anything stupid such as leave the notebook operational with the display closed, use it on a pillow, not clean out the fans and radiators, etc, and your notebook will love you back.

    99% technique, 1% tools.

    Near the end of my linked post, the Zalman coolers either focus air in a broad area or towards the front of the notebook. What you want is cooling for the performance critical components. For the W860CU, it's the CPU and the GPU. Putting a fan near the HDD won't help much since the battery is in the way.

    Please link to any of the recent reviews you have read where a Zalman cooler came out on top in controlled comparisons to other competing coolers used with enthusiast ("gaming") grade notebooks.

    ok i got you , i did the research several months ago so i'm kind of forgetting the fan positions. Before i intended to buy a MSI GX640 not even thought about Sager , that thing had the worst cooling system i've ever seen and required alot of modding and techniques. So far so good , i will go with notepal U2? :)

    The decision is up to you. If you want something extremely portable with the ability to put the fan where you want it in exchange for two days worth of lunch, the U2 is the way to go. If you want to tradeoff a large amount of mass, volume, an outlet, and almost three times the price for the best cooling power that is probably not going to get you more than 5*C off a 80*C baseline compared to the U2, the Cryo LX is the way to go.
