    Ok here is the deal I just got my laptop w/ a t7250 and a 8600mgt.
    I noticed it can get very warm especially when gaming.

    Undervolting helped slighly and I have taken compresed air to the heatsinks.

    These are the temps measured w/ cpuid

    Processor idle/load: 58c / 74c

    GPU idle/load: 69c/83c

    I am looking for someone with personal experience with a cooler for this specific notebook. Recomendations?

    The Dell XPS 1530s design has made it a waste to buy almost any notebook cooler on the market. I recommend you build your own for resaults past 3 or 4 degrees celcius. If you hop over to cooling central there is a link with notebook cooler making.
