Coolermaster Notepal Ergostand Notebook Cooler Review & Temperature Testing Linus Tech Tips

2010-06-19
alright this is gonna be my testing methodology for the coolermaster note pal or ghost and I'm going to be running River tuner as well as real temp in the background and I'm gonna run 3dmark oh six this is on a seventy nine hundred GT mobile graphics card with a oh man I don't even know what CPU this thing has why don't we find that out real quick Oh CPU oh it's a cold case a Core 2 T 7200 at two gigahertz so it's got actually four gigs around but for some reason it only detects me gigs and I don't really care why okay so I'm gonna go ahead and run 3dmark and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to go back and find out what the maximum recorded temperatures were by real temp as well as by River tuner now I'm gonna do this at three different settings I'm gonna do it with the note pal fan at high and you can adjust that down here right there there's a little slider I don't know if you can see that at all but I've adjusted it all the way to the maximum now and then you can also I'm also gonna do it with it at its lowest and then I'm gonna do it sitting on a table so here goes I'm not actually gonna make you sit through all of this don't worry I'm just gonna kind of come back and show results periodically okay I've got my first test result here so running with the fan on full blast our maximum CPU temperature was between 54 and 58 degrees depending which quarry you're looking at and the maximum GPU temperature that I found was about 55 and a half degrees so we'll call that 50 so there we go 56 degrees on the GPU so now the next one I'm gonna do is to turn the fan all the way to the minimum and then run the benchmark again and see how it fare so this is after my run through with the fan on low so you can see that my maximum CPU temperature was 55 or 59 degrees so quite a bit warmer than last time and then my maximum at GPU temperature was up and around the same range so we saw it creep as high as 57 points something yeah almost 58 degrees on the GPU so we're gonna try one more time with the laptop just on the and then we're gonna see how much better it does without a or wall I rather how much worse it does without a fan so we ran it actually what I did ended up doing was putting it on the box which you can see would be pretty similar to how a table would cover the bottom of the laptop and checking the high and low temperature so you can see the CPU temperatures are just a touch higher at 59 and 55 and then the GPU temperatures are actually very similar only about a degree higher so it looks like this notebook cooling pad is only really useful when you're using it with the fan turned up probably to like a medium to high speed and then it actually makes a substantial difference I'm actually going to do one more test I'm gonna run it just on the bare carpet because so many people run their laptops on carpet as well as on flat surfaces the way that they're supposed to so we'll try one more test and we're gonna see how it fares when it has like an insulating layer of carpet under it so with it running on the carpet actually I left it for a while but I can just make out that little hump there we saw it go as high as 69 plus degrees on the GPU oh please focus come on camera you can do it oh you missed it oh I left it for so long anyway okay yeah 69 there are 69 degrees and then on the CPU we saw it go as high as 62 and 67 degrees so clearly carpet is the worst out of everything we tested and the notebook cooling pad the note pallor ghost and is the best on its high speed thank you for checking out my unboxing well know this wasn't an unboxing this was more of a performance test look at that I actually did a review of something for a change thank you and I hope you enjoyed it and don't forget to subscribe to my Linus tech tips video blog
