![]() ![]() When the cooler arrived, I had a few gripes with it. The reasons I needed this cooler were: accessibility, sufficient heat dissipation and comfort. ![]() I did some review searching and supposedly this laptop cooler trumped so I bought it. I needed a new laptop cooler because my last one, the Belkin 17" cooling stand was running on its last legs. Maybe using an external power source for even stronger fans would offer some additional cooling. Now judge for yourselves if you believe the price is worth it. A game with a smaller Max CPU ussage and better allocation of resources would have a better results but i dont expect large difference.Īdditionally, other cooling pads are expected to have the similar results in tough CPU tests since extra, strong fans were used. Thus, it was causing some additional preassure without using too much energy (not energy throttling). Keep in mind that the test used a game that kept one CPU core at around 70-100% while the average was 20-50%. By using the fans you reduce the noise from the internal fans by one level. In other words, using a book to raise the laptop height reduces the temps the same as using the cooling pad without the fans. The temps with the fans active dont reduce temps but reduces the internal fan speed from full to high. There is a reduction in temps with the cooling pad without fans and the book but they are almost the same. But other than that the cooling effect is lackluster. The materials and the sturdiness of the specific cooling pad are extremely good. The different cases are listed below (Not the same as the test number)Ĥ) With the cooling pad and 3x Original fans -> 45 CFMĥ) With the cooling pad and 2x120mm fans (Eluteng) -> 112 CFMĦ) With the cooling pad and 3x Original fans + 2x120mm fans (Eluteng) -> 157 CFMĮxternal fans= 5 - But None active - CFM= 0Įxternal fans= 3 - 3xOriginal CM Fans - CFM= 45Įxternal fans= 2 - 2x120mm Fans Eluteng - CFM= 112Įxternal fans= 5 - 3xOriginal CM Fans + 2x120mm Fans Eluteng - CFM= 167Įxternal fans= 3 - 3xOriginal fans - CFM= 45 The fans were targeting the two entry holes of the laptop that are found at the bottom side. I also used extra 2x120mm fans made by Eluteng, each one of 56CFM. I tried multiple cases to test the temperature difference with and without the CM-U3. ![]() I did some benchmarking with this cooling pad. Using the oringinal fans and even extra fans for better effect doesnst reduce the temps in this case (high CPU Usage) but reduces the internal fan speed and subsequently the noise (Full to High). Using the cooling pad without the fans reduces the temps the same as using a book to raise the laptop (~86c to ~82c). ![]()
