Hi all SN users juz asking a few ques
1-do u guys use readyboost by inserting and leaving an sd card in the sd slot like forever?will it do any harm? i run reddyboost on mine and loading stuff is faster(-lag).
2-when u open any media player, does ur cd player run (make some sound)
3-hav any 1 used all 8 core and threads (100% core usage) on gaming no stress test, cuz is unreal. cuz i never seems to be able to achieve that to test full heat stress
4-the recent updates when u updated from windows caused a problem in shutting down. do u guys hav probs shutting down?
Temperature tests for new buyers - Heat Problems for SN in real life usage test <not stress tests>
}I hav run air intake tests, and found the lap draws more air under the laptop than keyboards..truly strange even wif design guess from MBP keyboard intake..
3 steps details are that 1) 40cm stand fan blow and 22 inch floor fan blow-40-41c, 2) floor fan blow-42c, 3) stand fan blow-44c 4)no fan-46c
conditions- 1)blowing same speed at a close proximity, no more than 15cm from vents and keyboard 15 min 2) under stress load of 5%-15% 3) room temp of 15c
temp recordings are that temps are >48c n <54c min under 15% load (can't record on games.. hard to play in that state)
temp are 40c sometimes 37c under idle mode blowing for 15 mins 2 fans
}3 cores running at 50% and 1 core running at 20% for 10 min recorded 71c max under room temp of 17c and no fans blowing no cooler pad
programs using= 5 mozilla tabs open, zipping a 12gb file, msn, skype, win live mail, and halfway editing doc on PShop cs5 32bit running simultaneously for 8 mins
4gb ram stock, 12gb redyboost (3x4gb) and disk page file of 8 gb
>advice, focus blow ur 2 vents on the right bottom facing up, major air intake; 25 cm away from any objects for air circulation
Core Temp 0.99.8 is used for data collection "running in room temp of 15c min to 19c max" not air cond, natural night air in sydney."
juz improvise the room temp or malaysia's temp or air conds
summery results
those who are asking about the temperature probs of sn, if u are going to play games on loads of 60% on a cooling pad most likely ur comp aint hot enuf to rot ur mob
note, i run COD MW2 on full graphics settings on display res 1366x768 with AA- 16x override, full shaders override, 4 pre rendered frames and no fram sync,
temps didnt run hot, juz slightly warm on palm rest, core usage was on >40%, temps were below 90c playing duration 4 hours, 17cm fan diameter jack up 8 cm.
running app pile up made my comp run at 88c by then u get laggy for full memory usage
unless u run 70% for 8 hours or more then u may have a heat prob (by rough estimation)
SN-No great heat problems noted in tests, unless the vents are clogged with dusts and breadcrumbs
cheers and happy buying next week!
