Computer gaming is hot. Literally. With games becoming more and more complex hardware manufacturers are racing to keep up with the demand. This challenge has hit the portable market right in the face. Serious gamers drool over pimped-out laptops crammed to the gills with high-performance processors and ultra-fast video cards. The problem is they pump out the BTUs faster than a Swine Flu outbreak. So why care? Two main reasons, really: overheating and unhappy gamers.

NZXT, a leading manufacturer of notebook cooling systems has just announced the launch of the Cryo S High-Performance Notebook Cooler. Sized for laptops up to 15”, this gotta-have-it-gadget for the gaming set has countered the local warming problem with amped up cooling fans and the wicked fast heat transfer performance of aluminum.

The brushed aluminum Cryo S is outfitted with two 120mm variable-speed fans and a rubber finish that lifts the laptop up off the cooling surface for increased airflow and enhanced performance. The Cryo S can be powered either by USB or the included AC adapter. There are also two additional USB ports because you can never have enough of those. Game on.

Retailing for $49.99 the new Cryo S is available this month on Newegg.com. For specs, glamour shots and more info on the NZXT Cryo S visit www.nzxt.com
