yo guys, today went sungei wang + lowyat jalan jalan, bought this new cooling pad CM U2 to test..
the thing i like is the fan can adjust position one..so i try adjust one of GPU air vent, another one at the ram air vent there, and stress test, this is what i got after 10 minutes:


before this, 5 minutes of this setting(even without the 2x MSAA) can easily go up to 98C, and that was why i stopped benchmark after that, however, right now, after 10 minutes with the extra stress load on 2x MSAA, the temperature is just 96C and shifting to 97C..i can only say this cooling pad did a great job in cooling..

not to mention, before this, the boot up temperature was maintaining at 59C before i started doing anything with GPU...just now, it's 57C before i did anything...right now is around 61C for idle temp(still dropping slowly i think, if i leave if there, might even get 60C static)

i will try on real time gaming temperature later

wow..that's great for the CM U2...how much was it? i went to low yat and BTS also today...haha...mayb we saw each other but dunno.....saw alienware m17x at Thundermatch..1st time see and touch a real machine..

Both of you, saw any new notebook from BenQ?

the U2 is just RM79 from All-IT, but they got different sizes one, the one i bought was obviously 14'' size for my benq s42..
as for new benq device, i didnt pay much attention, cos i just go lowyat for a short while to get that one and meet up with friends...no luck on finding thermal sticker though..seems very rare

got pass by John's shop also, he setting up another s42 that time..

@highwind: prolly lo..since we dunno each other face also

even I check on garage sales last time, can't find that sticker

s42 still exist on John's shop

no new product from benq yet..benq seems very quiet lately..even the fb page also seems quiet...
but saw sum new vaios with i3, i5 and geforce 330m...

he still have...units with p8700, price is RM2699, he mention before to me...

eh before this i told u all my SD playback GPU temperature is 66C right? right now is just 64C only...quite god this cooling pad, drop everything by 2-3C..i like it!!

mod the normal pc fan 12v to fit there and power it via adaptor? must be cooler and noisier

Today went to library, cpu running at 64C with folding... back at home, with cooler, running 44C

update a bit, the temperature is hovering between 63C to 64C

Added on February 7, 2010, 11:22 pmi'll try that later..haha
sure will be better

Added on February 7, 2010, 11:23 pmzomg..dropping to 62C edi...omg...just damn good la this cooling pad

This post has been edited by BBXiong: Feb 7 2010, 11:23 PM

Well, this is quite impressive ..for me an average of 63C is really damn good ...cheap cooler some more

@lee: lol, get those PC casing 5k RPM fan and stuff it into the cooling pad..lol, the air that blows in probably even stronger then the heatsink fan can pull..but ya, noisy la...

@monza: you mean idle temp or what? idle temp right now remain 60-61 like that...i really like this one, unlike my previous..prolly cos this one can adjust the fan position, hence the air that blows in cools my laptop more efficiently la

current fan running at 7.5v already can drop 20C on CPU, no need to run 12v

What cooling pad you guys are using?

BBX now is using CM U2~

Got time later on maybe i go and buy one ...well, wanna buy before this but no good review read from others...but BBX gives quite a nice for it, maybe i give it a go
