that's seriously overpriced man....bulk session selling RM150-RM170 only if i'm not mistaken....by the way....i heard from my friend that there's really good ventilation....air blowing out from the 'countless' ventilation hole..so that means your laptop's whole bottom surface will be colled down...

Agree.

Mostly cooling pads' fans r at the top, around our lappy's battery position.

but the heat is mainly generated by the processor unit, hdd n gc. which locate center or slightly bottom of the laptop if u picked up ur laptop wif the battery's position on top.

this zalman comes wif a fan speed controller which can help to optimise ur battery life depends on ur ussage.
higher fan speed = higher power comsumption

for example, if we juz do some simple typing n documentation, we can set the fan speed to slower mode, as the laptop x generate so much heat n help to save up ur battery life for longer ussage as well.

i think it's a good selling point. moreover, this cooling pad is designed aerodynamically, n quite light. high mobility i would say. u can carry it to work wif u n yet, it x eat up space n easy to keep.

behind the cooling pad, there's 2 more fan 'placement' shape.
i wonder if we can it out acording the shape n add it to 4 fans. haha

except the pricing, i would say tis is the best colling pad around.

I got my Zalman for 150 at Cycom last week! It's my first cooler so I don't really have a point of comparison, but I'd heavily recommend it. The cooler itself feels icy soon after I turn my pc (and subsequently the cooler) on! Even better with an airconditioner, ofc.

My dv6205tx idles at 28-30C and I have yet to see it go up higher than about 43C. It usually runs low-mid 30s while I use it to surf / IM / etc.

Pls share more as I'm really into the Zalman coolerpad.
Good design for good ventilation.

Bro...no need to think so much....it's greatly worth the price...just get one if you really mad with it...haha....RM150 is a nice deal by the way....

depends on ur ussage oso lar..
zalman is great for those who play games a lot, overnite download, mass video conversion n run a lot heavy program like photoshop..

normall the effective 'cool-down' for normal cooling pad is juz 5-8'C.. but zalman, (look at the statistic i posted before) it's 13'5C ler! very effective cooling. 10'c degree already make a lot of different. a 1'c raise in electronic device make a lot of different.

zalman! zalman! zalman!

i saw a zalman cooling pad at All IT Hypermart for Rm100++ ....

4get wat is the exact price d ....

cool the design

whua.. u'r making me crazy..

that zalman when i was researching notebook coolers you can get at LYP for about rm 165, so imagine my shock. i thought there were some cheats at LYP but the vendor at jusco 1u really takes the cake la! i had those speedballs earlier but felt i needed something with an active cooling solution. i just use my notepal at the office and the speedballs when i travel. it would look stupid using an aluminium plate at bintangbucks!
the notepal is good ergonomically, maybe better than the zalman. and cool to the touch.
still, anyone know how to mod the fans to run faster?
FYI, you can use a charger that ouputs to a USB cable to power the Notepal. so you can run it independent of the laptop batt and the charger is very lightweight. the charger i used was for my bluetooth headset.

Added on May 26, 2007, 1:27 pmsaw the Zalman at all IT in S14, definitely much cooler than my Notepal. so i dunno whether to upgrade to it or upgrade my RAM since both are nearly same price?
any thoughts?

I forgot to buy a cooler for my new Gemstone today! I might be going down to 1U tomorrow......

Know of any shop there that sell either the Zalman or Coolermaster cooler??

u bought gemstone edy? y don u open a new thread n do sm benchies n comment....i wanna noe...got heat probs or not..try play latest 3d games for hours....will it shutdown forcefully?

Hahahaha..... Battery haven't even finished charging! Will wait another hour before I boot up.

Oh, and It'll have a test when I continue my internship job..... Laptop will probably be on for 12 hours....... That's why I need the cooler......

Once everything is nice and "benched", will make a thread and post the results.

i double confirm it.. i saw it at All It in LYP weeks ago. Priced around 100+ too... Im not sure this cooler support which size but if im not mistaken.. it supports up to 14'4. I touched the holes of the cooler and it seems the air blowing our is really cool (maybe its becoz of the air con effect ). At 100+ i tot it was a good deal at first and feels weird when there is no ppl is discussing it except for cooler master product. Now it seems zalman cooler caught our eyes ^^

No one can confirm if they have seen this in midvalley or 1 utama?

muz b somethin wrong... its suppose to suck in cool air n blow out hot air

blactrix, if u wan something special, u can diy the cooler urself

have fun!

Too lazy. Went down Low Yat and picked up the Zalman...... so far so good!

Is there any Pacific Breeze Spire cooler anywhere (lowyat or 1U)?
