    Has anyone bought or can recommend a cooler that would fit the dv8? This thing gets really hot espeically when gaming.

    I just bought the above mentioned Zalman nc2000 for my DV8 but haven't tried it out yet. I'm glad to hear that it will be big enough for this big machine. Mine doens't get really hot when gaming. Only hits the low 80's max, but I'm hoping the Zalman will keep the DV8's somewhat noisy internal fan from spinning up so frequently while I'm doing routine stuff. If it keeps it cooler while gaming, that will be an added side benefit, but I really don't think the low 80's is anything to worry about. My old T61p would be in the high 90's and that's a little too hot. But the low 80's is nothing to worry about, imo.
