    Hi,

    I am looking to get a cooler and was wondering what peoples experience is with any particular brand.

    Been looking at the Zalman nc2000 altho I have read in places that it doesnt cool the gpu all that well on the 1530?

    However where I have read this, the people have generally been reporting temps of ~75 degrees with and without cooler. That doesnt strike me as the gpu being under particular load (mine nudges towards high 80s-90 after a decent l4d2 session)

    anyone with 1530 temps with/without their cooler would be appreciated :)
