@Rainings, just to make sure, you let the HWMonitor running during you play games ?
Because the screenshot kinda weird, the min and max temp is too near... |

that notepal might be better than u3 in terms of conducting.. its full aluminum.. absorbs the surrounding temperature.. thus the fan would feel like its blowing cold air.. the cooler basically emits cool to the laptop?
but lee, the power Wattage is like almost twice the diff? lolz.. |

Yeah, I still think U series is better because of the movable fans...and their also made of aluminum, with holds scattered throughout in a fixed pattern, I think that will help dissipate heat more?

How did you measure the temp?
1) You open HWMonitor, minimize it, start gaming for a while, alt+tab, screenshot 2. Start gaming for a while, alt + tab, open HWMonitor, screenshot |

4G ram is more than enough for daily usage.. unless you are using some programmer or designer software.
Im doing pretty good with 4G RAM.. Added on August 7, 2011, 10:11 am@Rainings 78 degrees is what I get at full load as well.. in air cond room.. in normal day its around 81 degrees. I think what you should do is Open HW Monitor when you plan to take temp review. lets say just after boot open HWMonitor edi. Clearn Max and Min. Let it record the Min temperature first. Then only you minimize it and start your game. Then play a while tab out screenshot. That you get the max and min diff. This post has been edited by Batusai: Aug 7 2011, 10:11 AM |

Added on August 7, 2011, 10:11 am@Rainings 78 degrees is what I get at full load as well.. in air cond room.. in normal day its around 81 degrees. I think what you should do is Open HW Monitor when you plan to take temp review. lets say just after boot open HWMonitor edi. Clearn Max and Min. Let it record the Min temperature first. Then only you minimize it and start your game. Then play a while tab out screenshot. That you get the max and min diff.
