    Hi guys.

    I'm looking to purchase a notebook cooler (off of newegg.com or somewhere like that) to cool down my Nvidia 8600M.

    I'm looking for something around $50 USD but I don't mind spending more.

    Anyone with any luck in regards to a particular cooler that they have used to keep their temperatures down? I want something that will work well with my laptop specifically. I also wanted to note that I have a 9 cell battery on my laptop and not the 6 cell (if that makes a difference).

    Zalman NC2000 is a good choice. I have been using it pretty well.

    This is what I have. It keeps the temps down and best of all fits the bottom the M1530 perfectly. It is also good for me at least because I can use it on my lap.

    I have a Zalman NC1000 and it works ok but the width of the 1530 is actually wider than the cooler's width. and the vent area is lower so I have to pull my laptop down if you don't mind that. So if you want a Zalman get a NC2000. But another one im interested in is the NZXT Cryo S which has 2 120 mm fans and nice vents. Try to find some videos on it. I think the Cryo S would be better.
