Cooling/VGA & Other Cooling by stefan @ 2013-10-21

One of the most recent laptop coolers/pads is the NotePal XL which features a redesign compared to the NotePal A200 we have taken a look over previously, is equipped with a larger 230mm fan and for connecting low power devices we have the option of using the integrated 3-port USB fan which is more convenient placed than before.

Test Setup and Test Results

For testing the cooler, we have used the ACER E1-531 laptop, which features a Pentium B960 CPU, 4GB of preinstalled RAM and the original 500GB drive was replaced with a OWC Mercury Extreme 120GB SSD. The laptop was first used one hour for office work and watching some movie clips and afterwards we have left it sit in IDLE for about 30 minutes. For heating up the internal components we have used the AIDA64 Stress Testing module and for monitoring, we have downloaded the latest version of HWiNFO64. The testing was conducted in 3 modes, each which had 30 minutes of IDLE time for cooling down.
