    It fits just fine on my 17" 5790 (it overhangs on the sides [​IMG] , but the feet are all completely within the cooler [​IMG]), so yes, it will fit just fine for the 2090. :)

    maybe it's the angle of the photo, but seems to overhangs on the side quite a bit.

    It overhangs, but the feet of the notebook sit completely inside the Zalman's frame.

    I have a Zalman with my IFL90 (same as the Sager 2090) and there is about a half inch overhang on each side, but the feet fit perfectly on the cooling pad. I turned it on and within a few minutes, the fans on the notebook turned off. Before I turned it on, there were definite warm spots on the notebook, which definitely disappeared. The best part is that the cooler is dead silent. Even on max speed. Its worth buying as it will for sure extend your notebook's life. Hope this helps.

    Ilovelamp, Are you running your notebook with the the lid closed and an extenal monitor hooked up to it? I'd like to know how well Zalman keeps the notebook cool with the lid closed. Thanks.

    At work I use my 5760 all day long with the lid closed. I wouldn't necessarily recommend that for gaming sessions, but for everydat work (I am an IT developer), it's never get very warm.

    Got mine yesterday and fits great. Get one - now!

    I was really amazed how much cooler the laptop runs with the Zalman. In addition, it is much more comfortable typing on the NP2090.

    Nope. I'm just using it regularly.
