external cooling for my Vortex III

[superscrew19]

I bought a vortex III 7970 xfire back in October, up till Friday I was mainly playing bf3 and and the cooler I bought with the laptop ( Zalman ZM-NC3500) was doing the job.
Now we have Crysis 3 :clap: and my temps are getting very high (GPU 99c ) :surrender::surrender:
Does anyone know/recommend a cooler with a high air flow that will help bring these temps down?
I am in the states at the moment, so if you know of something available here i can pick it up
Thanks in advance.

I dont think, a cooler is going to positively going to effect temps.

Have you got vsync on? and maybe think about knocking the settings down a little.

No disrespect intended towards Tom but you should not have to dial back settings because your GPU is not cooling correctly. Google repasting CPU's and GPU's and try it yourself. If that doesn't work then send it back under warranty to have PC Specialist do it. 99c Is not an acceptable level of heat for your laptop to be producing. I sadly have the same issue even after repasting and have mailed PC specialist who have not responded... It has been a month since it was sent .

Well, Crysis 3 will be pushing the two cards to 100% usage which is why said cards will be running so hot. Because they are getting pushed to absolute max.

@fawken, I suggest you give PCS a phonecall.
