Why Buy a Quiet Laptop Cooler

For a lot of people who have bought laptops in the last few decades, overheating is a serious problem that can damage your laptop hardware, and risk losing your data. Laptop coolers are becoming an increasingly common laptop accessory, and yet many people find the noise an even greater annoyance. Fortunately you can now find reasonably priced quiet laptop coolers which can keep your laptop cool, and that have whisper-quiet fans.

Quiet laptop coolers generally cost a little more than cheap laptop coolers. However, this is often down to the laptop coolers having an aluminum construction, and higher quality, more durable fans. The strong construction of aluminum laptop coolers combined with reliable quiet laptop cooler fans means that your quiet laptop cooler will last for years to come. Cheaper laptop coolers will often suffer from fan failures in as little as a year.

While quiet laptop coolers are often incredibly quiet, he do sometimes lack the cooling power of powerful laptop coolers. For many people this is not a big deal, but it is definitely something to bear in mind if you have major laptop overheating issues.

Zalman NC3000 Quiet Laptop Cooler

The Zalman NC3000 silent laptop cooler is one of the best quiet laptop coolers available on the market today. It has a huge 220mm fan which maintains a whisper-quiet volume level, while still creating a strong airflow over the brushed aluminum construction.

Zalman coolers are well known for their quiet laptop cooling technology, and they also make everything from internal PC cooling components to water cooling systems. This same knowledge of quiet cooling technology has been included in the fantastic range of Zalman laptop coolers. From over 1000 holes drilled into a highly conductive aluminum construction, all the way to the high quality silent running fan, the Zalman NC3000 is by far the best choice for anyone looking for a silent laptop cooling solution with a Zalman notebook cooler.

The Zalman NC3000 has two particular versions, one of which includes a 4 port USB hub. However both are equally as good at keeping your laptop cool and quiet even under high temperatures!

Zalman NC2000 Quiet Laptop Cooler

The Zalman NC2000 quiet laptop cooler is the predecessor to the Zalman NC3000, and in some ways it is very similar. The big difference between the two quiet laptop coolers is that the Zalman NC2000 uses two 120mm silent running fans, rather than one large 220mm fan. This does make it very slightly louder, but it also means the Zalman NC2000 is a slightly more powerful, slightly cheaper, quiet notebook cooler.

The Zalman NC2000 might be a fairly old design, but it is well known as one of the best available quiet notebook coolers available!

Enermax Aeolus Quiet Laptop Cooler

The Enermax Aeolus laptop cooler is a fairly new competitor in the world of silent laptop coolers, however with the 25cm fan encased in this aluminum notebook cooler, it is definitely kicking up the competition for old pro's such as Zalman.

The 250mm fan in the Enermax Aeolus definitely helps keep this one of the quietest laptop coolers on the market, it can shift a huge amount of air, without creating a huge amount of noise! The fan also has a low/med/hi speed setting, so you can adjust the fan speed to your needs. When you are working this quiet laptop cooler runs near enough to silent, even if you put your ear next to it you can hardly hear it! When you beef up the power, well it is still pertty hard to hear a single thing, but even so, it is inaudible over the sound off a game!

Looks wise the Enermax Aeolus is very sleek, modern and stylish, it also has 5 backlit Blue LED's incase you wanted to give it a slightly futuristic look. If this is not your style though, don't worry there is an on/off switch for the lights!

The only problem that people have with this quiet laptop cooler is the size. Many people feel that it is too small for a 17 inch laptop, and yet too big for a 15 inch laptop.  This can spoil the aesthetic look for some people!
