U3 is definitely better than zalman.... the minimum temp during gaming just cause 2 at high setting is at 60+ deg... But you gotta know where to place the fan to its max efficiency

Bought it at Digital Mall All IT department @89 bucks with additional fan @ 9.90 or 19.90 .. PS: Single Fan is way faster

yea its cheap ... from CM as well... so if the 3 fan were to spoil i will just replace with another 2 single fan

yes ... the main fan is blowing to the vent of the ram .. others just blow all over ... theres a 2-3 deg difference if you place it at the right place....

i dont recommend 3 fan with 1 usb... slows down the fan... single fan single usb is faster

it depends when it reaches such level of deg... normally avoid going to such high temp.. it shorten your lappy lifespan

Coz im using HP pavilion DV6.. and there is just 1 area that has vents to the inner compartment.. while my previous lappy ASUS A8sr is basically open cover thus area of fanned is much considered...
All in all, the design of your lappy is to be considered 1st.

you can always try it out 1st, since individual fan are easily able to get.

i mean placing the fan on the right spot.... you can see the correct way of placing fan on the box of your U3... you dont place it directly to the hot area... but a little away from the hot area... the fan blows away from the center.. so try and error with your HWM on as a guide...
