QUOTE(Mr.Docter @ May 22 2011, 01:02 AM) All been my pleasure mate! Ooh I see, I shall wait for their replies then. Thinking whether to swap out the stock 500GB 7200rpm drive for the Momentus XT or not Hmm Astria is currently using it, as well as kira-kun too as his secondary HDD.  Battery life is quite an important factor to me, else I wouldn't even think twice. Of course SSDs are wayy too expensive for me |

QUOTE(Mr.Docter @ May 22 2011, 02:26 AM) I don't think HDD/XT/SSD main the role factor in preserving battery life.. I've read that the Momentus XT can decrease the battery life because of it's higher power draw during idle and load. I'm not sure also that's why I'm asking QUOTE(PF T.J. @ May 22 2011, 11:19 AM) Not trying to be a party spoiler, but you should take note of issues with Momentus XT: http://www.lowyat.net/v2/index.php?option=...d=3996&Itemid=2 Thanks for the link bro! Yeah the speed increase is quite noticeable, much faster then normal HDDs but of course slower then SSDs. Momentus XT doesn't have much, if any effect on battery life compared to normal ones>? The speed is faster though, not as fast as an SSD, but way faster than a regular HDD, so I guess its worth it |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Jun 7 2011, 09:33 PM) Wow, its an awesome cooler pad Yeahp, suitable for those monsters. My puny M14x is too small  Those owning M15x and m17x would be interested if the price is right Just curious bro, why are you selling it? Too big? The cooling is impressive right?  One of the reasons why I'm selling it away Cooling is very impressive. Manage to drop 10c compared to without any cooling  |

QUOTE(lee_what2004 @ Jun 7 2011, 11:45 PM) ^10 C reduction in load or idle ? for GPU or CPU or HDD ? Was just a quick test, and it was at (almost) idle. Maximum temps on the monitor shows 60c, and after using the cooler it dropped to 49c.  The temps are for the CPU. QUOTE(putochip123 @ Jun 7 2011, 11:51 PM) if 10'c reduction on a cooler(full load), then that cooler must be air con Nope, my aircon was not turned on.This post has been edited by pengster: Jun 8 2011, 12:50 AM |

QUOTE(duabijitelur @ Jun 8 2011, 09:32 AM) so geng ? can reduce 10 celsius ? XD Haha. I might do some simple testing and post up the results. QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Jun 8 2011, 11:11 AM) M18x is a lot heavier than the M17x hehe Yeah the M14x's fan is bloody loud when on full speed. Noise wise it's about the same as the SF-19 on max speed Added on June 8, 2011, 11:13 am Nvm what, the M14x's fan is louder right? So it doesn't matter miahahaha Well, if its smaller I would definitely buy from you  |
