    Hey guys,

    I just bought an NP5796 and am eagerly awaiting for it to arrive. Can anyone recommend a good notebook cooler and where to purchase? I've heard good things about the Zalman NC2000, but I am not sure where is a good place online to purchase it from?

    Thanks!

    Definitely the Zalman ZM-NC2000... its perfect for 17" notebooks. :)

    I don't think you would need it.

    You can get it from many vendors:
    - Newegg
    - Mwave
    - ZipZoomFly
    ...etc...

    I heard that the fans from the Zalman NC2000 aren't properly aligned for the NP 5796. They don't hit the GPU fans, so it's not working at its full potential at all.

    Can anyone else confirm this? Just from images, I can see that the NP5796 has fans at the back and it appears that the vents on the zalman are aimed more toward the front of the notebook.
