1
00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:07,439
all right this is going to be my testing methodology for The Cooler Master notal

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:12,000
Ergo stand I'm going to be running rivet tuner as well as real temp in the

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:18,039
background and I'm going to run 3D Mark 06 this is on a 7900 GT mobile graphics

4
00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:23,119
card with a oh man I don't even know what CPU this thing has why don't we

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:25,160
find that out real quick uh CPU oh it's

6
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:31,960
a okay it's a core to t7200 at 2 GHz so it's got actually 4

7
00:00:30,279 --> 00:00:36,000
gigs of RAM but for some reason it only detects 3 gigs and I don't really care

8
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:39,879
why um okay so I'm going to go ahead and run 3D Mark and then what I'm going to

9
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:44,800
do is I'm going to go back and find out what the maximum recorded temperatures

10
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,800
were by real temp as well as by

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:52,079
rivatuner now I'm going to do this at three different settings I'm going to do

12
00:00:48,039 --> 00:00:54,760
it with the not pal fan at high and uh

13
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:58,199
you can adjust that down here right there there's a little slider I don't

14
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:02,199
know if you can see that at all but I've adjusted it all the way to the maximum

15
00:01:00,199 --> 00:01:07,840
now and then you can also I'm also going to do it with it at its lowest and then

16
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:10,640
I'm going to do it sitting on a table

17
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:13,560
so here goes I'm not actually going to make you sit through all of this don't

18
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,479
worry I'm just going to kind of come back and show results

19
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:24,200
periodically okay I've got my first test result here so running with the fan on

20
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:29,200
full blast our maximum CPU temperature was between 54 and 58° depending which

21
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:35,079
core you're looking at and the maximum GPU temperature temperature that I found

22
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:38,600
was about 55 and 12° so we'll call that

23
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:40,040
5 there we go 56° on the GPU so now the

24
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:45,399
next one I'm going to do is to turn the fan all the way to the minimum and then

25
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:50,399
run the Benchmark again and see how it fares so this is after my run through

26
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:56,799
with the fan on low so you can see that my maximum CPU temperature was 55 or 59°

27
00:01:54,600 --> 00:02:02,280
so quite a bit warmer than last time and then my maximum GPU temperature was up

28
00:02:00,039 --> 00:02:10,000
around the same range so we saw it creep as high as 57 something yeah almost 58°

29
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:14,599
on the GPU so we're going to try one more time with the laptop just on the

30
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:19,040
table and then we're going to see how much better it does without a or well

31
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:24,360
rather how much worse it does without a fan so we ran it uh actually what I did

32
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,760
ended up doing was putting it on the box which you can see would be pretty

33
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:32,680
similar to how a uh table would cover the bottom of the laptop

34
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:36,280
and uh checking the high and low temperatures so you can see the CPU

35
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:41,800
temperatures are just a touch higher at 59 and 55 and then the GPU temperatures

36
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:45,560
are actually very similar uh only about a degree higher so it looks like this

37
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:51,480
notebook cooling pad is only really useful when you're using it with uh the

38
00:02:49,239 --> 00:02:54,400
fan turned up probably to like a medium to high speed and then it actually makes

39
00:02:53,120 --> 00:03:00,080
a substantial difference I'm actually going to do one more test and I'm going to run it just on the bare carpet

40
00:02:57,519 --> 00:03:06,319
because so many people run their laptop on carpet as well as on uh flat surfaces

41
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:10,879
the way that they're supposed to so we'll try one more test and we're going

42
00:03:08,239 --> 00:03:15,959
to see how it fares when it has like an insulating layer of carpet under it so

43
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:20,319
with it running on the carpet actually I left it for a while but uh I can just

44
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:26,400
make out that little hump there we saw it go as high as 69 plus degrees on the

45
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:29,280
GPU oh please Focus come on camera you

46
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:34,159
can do it oh you missed it a I left it for so long anyway okay yeah 69 there

47
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:39,560
there 69° and then on the CPU we saw it go as high as 62 and 67° so clearly

48
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:46,439
carpet is the worst out of everything we tested and the notebook cooling pad the

49
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,360
note palet Ergo stand is the best on its

50
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:52,439
high speed thank you for checking out my

51
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:56,239
unboxing well no this wasn't an unboxing this was more of a performance test look

52
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:59,879
at that I actually did a review of something for a change thank you and I

53
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:04,599
hope you enjoyed it and don't forget to subscribe to my Linus Tech tips video
