Zalman releases two new extreme laptop coolers: Oh the hype

[brownninja97]

i dumped my girlfriend so now i have time for important stuff such as the news. I tried to find the most mundane i mean important treasure that I could find and well this is it. The refresh of zalmans laptop coolers.

 

 

So we have two twins in board however what is the actual difference between you must be asking, well my little dumpling the NC2 has a 140mm fan generating a sizeable 80cfm at an unknown rpm.

 

So you arent impressed, but wait you will be i hope because id elder brother, the NS1000 has something special. It has a 180mm fan with a sucking rating of 130cfm with also an unknown rpm. 

 

Dont you dare question the naming scheme.

 

The NC2 is a slap on the desk and hope for the best kind of design so ill just talk about the child that people care about.

 

Back on topic the NS1000 has dual usb2.0 inputs, you get a pass through so it links to your laptop and powers the fan

 

There is then an analog fan controller so you can change between 550rpm and 1500rpm there is a give or take 15% range of error here which is pretty normal with fans. 

 

Both are designed for laptops up to the size of 16inchs, there isnt really a change there.

 

The mesh is designed in a fancy way, see how there are indents in the mess, how this actually some how increases the surface area of the holes meaning more air can cooler the hell out of your laptop. 

 

If push comes to shove and you have to make a rig of this case then you are covers because there are the basics in cable routing.

 

 

I asked zalman and well they dont know what the price is for this which is well interesting to say the least.

 

Anyways zalman news..........

that would be a yes.

Shit that looks so much beefier (in the good way) than like any other laptop cooler you can find in store.

Still think this is the best one. For one it's not plastic

[AHaskin14]

Like the height adjustment and cable management.

ironically im not fan of those, rotaries.

Looks a lot more professional and cleanly styled. I like it more too.

@brownninja97 serious question: why did you feel to make a topic about this ?? is something happening with zalman ?

OT: zalman makes everything that's related to any sort of cooling so I'm not surprised ( I actually knew about this ) =.

[Bouzoo]

It's more for the angle since the build quality is good and my laptop doesn't slide due to those small rubber thingies. And yeah, fans died once, had to replace them since they made unbearable noise. But when they're not broken they make a few C difference so it's good (and the option to move them is nice).

[Manny Calavera]

She probably was not a techie so he dumped her ^^

Yes... but can you replace the fan? Because good luck with rma.

now this is good stuff

[Misanthrope]

Ugh I really hate this things: they basically tell people "Buy a Laptop and use it as a desktop!" So many times I've seen people that never take their PC out of their houses and still buy laptops to have em on basically 24/7 using one of this stupid fucking things: get a fucking desktop!

number of reasons, zalman has actually died twice now, over the past month they ran into major issues regarding how they supply to people, you may know windspeed36, he said they completely stopped shipping to him over in straya. I did a bit of talking with some friends that work at ariapc and one at novatech and they said stock had been held up. No one really knew what happened, the company went silent for a week and a bit and then carried on as if nothing happened, its very surprising that this didnt get reported to everyone, im not sure how often this happens with companies. Also i dumped my girlfriend which exponentially increased my free time, i thought i might as well make news and what is brownninja news if its not related to zalman

uni students dont have a choice, you need a laptop for everything there and us pc gamers or tech guys in general never settle for some crappy intel hd rubbish. my brothers mac pro hits 100oc watching youtube videos, in the summer it can become a problem.

1. we had a conflict of interests and she urr lets say an odd fetish and it didnt help at night.

 

2. They didnt mention that in the notes that they gave me about it, ill send them an email but if they arent saying it then ill assume its a no.

Well I know Windspeed runs or works some kind of a company/OEM.

There's always a choice, for example pair one of these:

 

 

With one of these:

 

 

No it is not ideal. Yes there are people who need to be on the go for extended periods cause they travel a lot or move around a lot. But if you are mostly at home and occasionally need to take notes on class or fuck around on a starbucks or watch videos while you're traveling on thanksgiving or whatever, take this combo.

[Novistion]

I'll be happy one day when laptop coolers like this go away.. But anyway the hype!

[Manny Calavera]

1.

Too much info on 1. , but interesting way to split up ^^

2. I would treat it as a cpu cooler... if its too loud or fails or starts to grind, its useless after some time if you cant replace it. Unless its made by noctue ^e^

But if you get (or make) a stand with holes for fan mounts, well thats like lifetime stand you can resell.

 

Hmm, what about external gpu ^^ Todays i7 in laptops are enough powerful. We need external gpu! Like 750ti, it fits into a pocket and can be powered by a potato. And cheap.

wow that was me trying to not say much, im not good at being vague

[JAKEBAB]

Usb 2.0 really?

[brownninja97]

Usb 2.0 really?

usb 3.0 has issues with powering fans and then dual usb 3.0 ports after that, the bandwidth will take a massive hit so in the end it doesnt even matter.

[Thony]

Because cooling the plastic cover helps so much....
