    I'm using the Notepal Infinite, works very good. Takes 10 degrees of the HDD.

    Whichever one you get, make sure it has a fan placed under the 1530's intake hole.

    One with a correctly placed fan will be MUCH better at cooling the laptop compared to one with a fan placed anywhere else.

    Tbh. As far as I've seen from testing my own custom coolers for the laptop,
    unless there's a fan blowing air directly into the intake you'll see very little difference in temps.

    i have the zalman nc1000 and it works like a charm! the air might not go in directly to the m1530's fan, but it cools my computer 10C lower under massive stress on CPU and GPU ( from 91C to 81C on the GPU.

    its top face is made of aluminum, which makes the passive cooling even better, worth the 50$ absolutely :D

    but im sure there are great others out there, but i wouldnt know...
