all right this is going to be my testing methodology for The Cooler Master notal
Ergo stand I'm going to be running rivet tuner as well as real temp in the
background and I'm going to run 3D Mark 06 this is on a 7900 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 uh CPU oh it's
a okay it's a core to t7200 at 2 GHz so it's got actually 4
gigs of RAM but for some reason it only detects 3 gigs and I don't really care
why um okay so I'm going to go ahead and run 3D Mark 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
rivatuner now I'm going to do this at three different settings I'm going to do
it with the not pal fan at high and uh
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 going to do it with it at its lowest and then
I'm going to do it sitting on a table
so here goes I'm not actually going to make you sit through all of this don't
worry I'm just going to 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° depending which
core you're looking at and the maximum GPU temperature temperature that I found
was about 55 and 12° so we'll call that
5 there we go 56° on the GPU so now the
next one I'm going to do is to turn the fan all the way to the minimum and then
run the Benchmark again and see how it fares 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°
so quite a bit warmer than last time and then my maximum GPU temperature was up
around the same range so we saw it creep as high as 57 something yeah almost 58°
on the GPU so we're going to try one more time with the laptop just on the
table and then we're going to see how much better it does without a or well
rather how much worse it does without a fan so we ran it uh actually what I did
ended up doing was putting it on the box which you can see would be pretty
similar to how a uh table would cover the bottom of the laptop
and uh checking the high and low temperatures 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 uh only about a degree higher so it looks like this
notebook cooling pad is only really useful when you're using it with uh 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 and I'm going to run it just on the bare carpet
because so many people run their laptop on carpet as well as on uh flat surfaces
the way that they're supposed to so we'll try one more test and we're going
to 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 uh 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 a I left it for so long anyway okay yeah 69 there
there 69° and then on the CPU we saw it go as high as 62 and 67° so clearly
carpet is the worst out of everything we tested and the notebook cooling pad the
note palet Ergo stand is the best on its
high speed thank you for checking out my
unboxing well no 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
