    I recently purchased a Sager NP8760 and I was wondering if anyone here had any reccomendations for a latop cooler. I took look at the ones listed in this thread:

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/accessories/304671-notebook-coolers-buyers-guide.html

    There are quite a few choices there, but I am mostly looking to see what other people have been using with this laptop. I noticed that that the fans/vents are located closer to the rear of the laptop, which more or less eliminated the Zalman NC2000 (my initial choice) unless it was used backwards. In any case, feedback would be appreciated.

    I should think the NZXT Cryo LX suits your machine best.

    Notebook coolers for Sager beasts are a crap-shoot. I own an NP9262. Even with 60F room temperature, these colossal machines get hot around the palm rest area.
    I currently own the NZXT Cryo LX, it may be 1-2F degrees better than the Zalman NC2000, but it still gets quite hot under full working conditions.

    I've read of others changing to better internal fans, but don't know if it does any better. These are great notebooks, but even with the wide open internal spaces, they get quite hot.
    If anyone has had better experience cooling their beast, I'd welcome a comment.

    Well ... I don't think my D900F actually need additional cooling, it's just.... nice to have. I'm more satisfied with my better working angle than my cooling, really. I have a Zalman NC-2000.
