QUOTE(MetalZone @ Jul 27 2009, 11:59 AM) I did a test to compare having the thermapak and without... using CPUTest with big-FFT's and 2 instances (coz dual core). 11 minutes each. fan running at max approx 5900RPM. no difference at all ?? logiclly there should be.. none is kinda weird. i guess apple is doing a good job at cooling the macbook.Guess what? No difference in the reported temperatures. Haha. Nevertheless, while playing COD4, there was an obvious difference in the temperature felt on the aluminium case and keyboard. CPUTest only stresses the CPU and RAM but does nothing to the GPU. With all 3 maxed out during gaming, it gets real hot. While this isn't any scientific test, at least I could feel it and I'm satisfied. This post has been edited by preducer: Jul 28 2009, 01:28 PM |

QUOTE(Superman7 @ Jul 29 2009, 12:50 PM) sometimes it's for torrenting.. sometimes I just leave it on standby.. from reviews i've read, it should reduce atleast 8c-10cI've seen reviews on the thermapak showing that there is only approx 4~6deg C improvements from the notebook point of view but if it's on the lap, then there is a great difference.. |

QUOTE(kalvinhui @ Jul 30 2009, 03:52 PM) i guess so, was thinking to swap it back to the stock hdd. stock hdd is giving me the beachball.. i was cursing coz every 15mins it will beachball for no reason.. once upgraded to wd scorpio blue, no beachball at all.. so much different.i got it very often when browsing firefox. QUOTE(Superman7 @ Jul 30 2009, 11:10 PM) Thanks for the info. Might just get one soon.. the only problem is there is no retailer selling this except for one guy in this forum.. why u dont want to get from that guy ? metalzone bought his thermapack frm him. |

QUOTE(chypher @ Aug 3 2009, 09:39 AM) hey guys, is it true that apple will have 1 to 1 change for hardware defection? broken ? if no then forget about replacement..If it's true, how about the macbook charging pod? U know the thing on the left where u use to plug in ur charger? I was wondering cos my that little dots that look like this [ - - - - ] mine is not horizontally straight. I was thinking this is a manufacturing defect. |
