In the Cooling market ARCTIC COOLING have quite a good reputation for supplying excellent products to the consumer. Not so long back Sahil reviewed the highly popular MX-3 thermal paste, this is a good example of how ARCTIC COOLING are leaders in this category. It’s not just CPU cooling that they excel in either, they have long been a supplier of aftermarket GPU cooling products, fans, cases and PSUs.

Today we take a look at the ARCTIC NC, a USB-powered notebook cooler with a 4-port USB hub. This is their first attempt at developing a product for cooling such a device, and so it will be interesting if their success in other sectors will similarly transfer over into notebook cooling.
