    OK guys so i've had my M1530 for about 2 months ever since i got it from the Nvidia Litigation. And I've been constantly watching the temps while I game. I had put Windows 7 but I later put Linux Mint 9 and been using the temperature monitor while playing games. my laptop's temps are like this:

    Cold Boot:
    CPU: 45-48
    GPU:45-50

    Idling Temps after boot:
    CPU: 51-56C
    GPU: 57-60C

    Gaming Temps:
    CPU:70-80
    GPU:65-73
    The laptop cooler I use makes little difference. It's a "LapCool 2" if that helps.

    I am now thinking of perhaps getting my hands on the Full Copper Cooler this laptop and putting a different heatpaste. What do you all think?
