Zalman Notebook Cooler – Focused Airflow Mod
Zalman Notebook Cooler ———————- Focused Airflow Modification (Mod) for ZM-NC1000 and ZM-NC2000 This is a video tutorial that I made really quick in Flash. It shows an easy mod that you can do with your Zalman Notebook Cooler to get “Focused Airflow” (or compressed airflow) to specific locations. Its best for gaming notebooks, since the GPU and CPU would get the greatest benefits from extra cooling.

www.TheTechStop.net If you’re a gamer, you know that portability and performance don’t necessarily go together. Sure there have been a few notable efforts in making a mobile gaming platform, but none of them have hit that magic midpoint between price, performance and portability. Gateway wants to change all that with the release of their new P-Series of notebooks. These 10lb monsters packs a massive amount of features normally only found in high-end gaming desktops, and it does it at a price that will not require you to take our a second mortgage! Check out these Specs… * Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme Processor X7900 * 3072MB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM * 400GB 7200rpm Serial ATA RAID * NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 8800GTS w * 17″ 1920×1200 LCD www.TheTechStop.net

@underwatercookie its like.. ice cap zone from Sonic 3, only its an OC Remix edition, you can get it off their website.. but they’ll probably have like 4 versions of it
lol, nice OC Remix version of a Sonic 3 song for the background music
What song is this? XD
I have ZM-NC2000 and undervolting decreased my temperature more than Zalman. This mod depends on notebook, but air cools down whole notebook, so it is not just about getting air into vents. Also it is better to turn it around so front would be in back, since most notebooks are overheating in back and air vents are there as well.
my dell inspiron 1525 regulerly hits 80s C and the shuts down, the fans are on the bottom so i cant keep it on aything flat, you think this thing will help?
yes it would.
I have tested it on the fastest 18.4″ gaming notebooks… by Clevo.
will my 18″4 inch laptop fit on a cooler like that???
the design of the notebook cooler wont allow that… I dismantled it the first day I got it to check it out.
its a very proprietary design that makes it efficient if the cooler is not taken apart.
can’t you just remove the bottom plate and put it on the notebook cooler ?
@Kotapaka,
I have an Clevo M590K 19″ laptop with multi intake ports underneath. This video rocks for my needs.
Umm, my intakes are at the bottom of my notebook. So yeah, you’re mistaken taintedsoul17
you are mistaken. 99% of notebook on the market intake air from the bottom and exhausts the hot air on the back/sides.
great…except for the fact that you’re pushing focused air into the fans that are trying to push air out…more than likely making it harder to exhaust the air…
My Clevo D901C (aka. Sager 9262) with Q6600 (I know I need to upgrade to the Q9650) has four fan on the bottom as well (they use the same chasis). Plus, my 3 hard drives get pretty hot. CLEVO RULEZ!!!
anyone tried using a zalman with this mod and done and temperature test, then done the same temperature test without the mod and compared? that would be interesting
also, nice song – i recognized it immediately, a remix of ice cap zone from sonic the hedgehog 3. memories
obviously you have not seen the world’s fastest notebooks (most of which are by Clevo). Alienware used to carry Clevo’s until they moved onto Arima and Quanta.
That notebook of mine is a Clevo D900K (aka. Sager NP9750, Alienware m7700a).
The current high-end Clevo D900F (aka. Sager NP9280) with desktop Core i7 has four fan placements as well.
My laptop has only 1 fan. Only 1 opening at the bottom. This one has 5. How is this possible? Even alienware don’t have 5 openings.
zalman rocks!
great idea,dude
will try it out myself with my Zalman
damn….great idea…I have to try this with my N50Vn Asus because I just DON’T notice any difference with Zallman 2000 or not right now, because my N50Vn’s vents are randomly placed and are quite tight…
lol!
how easy can brilliant sollutions be…
Lol, I knew it was Sonic right off the bat.
Hey its the awesome Gophn! haha, I think I’m definitely getting the Zalman now.
google: notebook coolers buyers guide
it should bring you to the NBR site that will show you what notebook coolers is best for a particular notebook
hey i just got the nc2000 today. it looks great. but the only thing is that it doesnt cool my laptop as much as i expected. When i play games without it it would go up to 60C but with the chill mat it went down by like 1-2Cs… do u have any tips for cooling other than the custom way?
@o0Deano2k80o,
True… but isn’t that the way with ALL technology? — After all, this review IS from more than 2 years ago.

These are so obsolete, looking back they were the best now they’re just standard.
“Now anybody out there who’s a pro gamer, who’s l33t, who’s not a noob…”
Best line ever used in a laptop review
get a desktop or laptop at ibuypower (i think its called that) they’re cheap and good if you are looking for gaming laptop or desktop
It’s 1,050 at bestbuy.
……But im totally broke right now. -.-
DeathToTheseWalls,
Such is the life of a nerd! — That’s one of the reasons why I never buy “bleeding edge” products. (Think first iPhone, first laptop, first OLED screen, etc.) They may be cool, and I like to review them so that I can show people what’s around the corner, but either wait two months or buy the third unit from the top to hit the price-performance sweet spot.

The modern-day model of this laptop costs $1050.
Changes in technology changes never cease to shock me.
Ah yes, I have one. What an incredible machine. I love my baby.
nojita,
That’s true… NOW… but not over a year ago when this notebook was reviewed.

Lol…
…2k-3k???

orland44football,
That’s not a hardware problem. Check the BIOS and the power saving setting. You want to disallow the “Wake Up” due to LAN or USB activity.

I asked you in a message, not here. The reason was I didn’t know youtube blocks url:s in the posts. I also wrote you a message 5 minutes later (long before you posted this message) that I was wrong and apologized.
If we put everything else aside – you won’t get 24 fps with that laptop with the settings maxed. In max settings AA is included.
Although I do like the thorough overview regarding the specs and appearance.
In the end, if we are helpful, entertaining or provokative in any way, then I consider what we do to be a success. If not, then I thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment.

Listen, I appreciate your input… and believe me when I say that I’ve heard the same complaint many times before… but this is the way that I review. I do this in my free time because I really enjoy playing with good technology. I don’t make a living off of it, nor do any of our production sponsors pay us anything for a good review.
