My small review

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...0#entry32106237

Malas to upload all over again

Zalman NC2000 cooler meets Studio XPS 16

Condition of room
Small room with either fan or air conditioner(blowing away from laptop)...Sorry my air con is located on top of my laptop table so can't get direct cool air here

Condition of laptop CPU=P8700 2.53GHz,RAM=3GB 1066MHz,GPU=HD4670 1GB GDDR3,HDD=320GB 7200RPM
Idling,running only HW monitor and GPU-Z and other background processes
CPU usage at constant 12%
Ram usage at constant 38%


.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
EXPERIMENT 1 :Without air conditioner usage(only fan)

Situation 1
Without cooler

CPU=38,GPU=54,HDD=38



Situation2
With cooler

CPU=34,GPU=49,HDD=35



.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
EXPERIMENT 2 :Air conditioned room with constant 22C temperature

Situation 1
Without cooler

CPU=40C,GPU=52,HDD=38



Situation 2
With cooler

CPU=32,GPU=46,HDD=31 can bring this down to CPU=28C,GPU=42 if experimenting for longer hours



.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
1C was deducted from Processor and GPU temperatures because of the increased processor usage when using screen-snap programme(Sniping Tool)


p/s : These temperatures are still higher than what i normally have because i haven't run this machine for a longer period.The lowest average temperatures i got before were CPU=28C,GPU=41C,HDD=30C

Here's the screenshot


My honest opinion:
The Zalman NC2000 works best when paired up with an air conditioner.Looking at the temperatures, it doesn't fare too badly when used in a non-air conditioned room.The high quality materials used in the production of the NC2000 pretty much helps a lot in heat dissipation and aiding air-flow.And yes it's pretty cold due to its full aluminium body Definitely worth the RM229 i paid or could i find any better ones?

Another note:Will update temperatures of full CPU and GPU load

Attached thumbnail(s)

Looking at the dimensions......the ZM-NC2000 is still wider than my laptop by about 1 cm at both sides..Will definitely fit a 14"

Errr...about the cellophane tape... There are dust getting stucked in the "holes"...once it's stuck,cannot get it out anymore.....2 spots of dust already entered and i can't get them out anymore So if you're not using external speakers,just cover the hole-in my case i just cello tape it

My average is around that too when using msn+firefox(6-7tabs)+other background processes

How is the improvement from your previous cooler?

TBH it's pretty hot there before and after.Were you gaming?

Is that better than the Zalman NC2000?

@Fantasia

Have you tried opening up your NC2000?I tried but it's too tight or i dunno how to open it
