    Just been looking at both zalman nc-2000 and the 3000 version.

    Trying to work out which one will fit the M15x best at the moment.

    thinking the 3000 as the vents go all the way to the top.

    I have the nc-2000 and I really don't notice any change in temperatures with it on. I have a 9 cell battery, so that may be why. I slide the laptop farther down the cooler so that the vents on the cooler are blowing into the vents on the laptop because they don't line up. The computer is too high with the 9 cell on to be pushed the whole way back on the cooler anyways.

    I'm looking also but I want the best but they cost so much I don't want to fork out the cash unless I know its going to work perfect for the m15x.

    I been looking at some of the cooler masters though.

    I did notice the vents stopped where needed at the top on the 2000 so im looking at the 3000 which goes all the way up, however i have not spoke to anyone who uses the 3000 version.
