Thread Starter 
I opened this thread to help small Asus notebook testing inquiries instead of complete reviews.
We have almost all Asus models on hand all the time, any testing request welcome. I will try to finish any request no later than the second day and post the result here.

Somebody asked the notebook cooler for Z71V in another thread, I will test the Z71V and Vantec cooler and post here tomorrow afternoon.

probably be cool to test the z70va's fan noise and heat to the original z70v or something like the z70a or maybe even to another brand of laptop to see how big the issue with noise and heat really is.

Vantec LapCool3 testing report

I did this test with: Asus Z70Va / DVDRW / 2G / 1024G / 80G Toshiba 5400rpm 16M.

I test with EVEREST Home Edition v2.00.335



The first table is after 50 min movie playing without cooling base:


Sensor Properties:
Sensor Type Analog Devices ADM1027 (SMBus 2Dh)

Temperatures:
Motherboard-------------------------56 °C (133 °F)
CPU---------------------------------59 °C (138 °F)
Aux----------------------------------62 °C (144 °F)
TOSHIBA MK8026GAX-----------------42 °C (108 °F)

Cooling Fans:
CPU----------------------------------1603 RPM
Chassis-------------------------------2387 RPM



Then I put Vantec LapCool3(Model: LPC-401) under the laptop, run movie for another 30 min, here is the report:


Sensor Properties:
Sensor Type Analog Devices ADM1027 (SMBus 2Dh)

Temperatures:
Motherboard---------------------------50 °C (122 °F)
CPU-----------------------------------59 °C (138 °F)
Aux------------------------------------54 °C (129 °F)
TOSHIBA MK8026GAX-------------------39 °C (102 °F)

Cooling Fans:
CPU-----------------------------------1531 RPM
Chassis--------------------------------2289 RPM

looks like it seriously helped the motherboard & aux temp, slightly lowered the hard drive temp, and allowed the fans to slow down a bit.

I don't feel the fan really noisy with Z70Va. This depends on quite you expect and how sensitive you are.

BTW, what do I use to test the noise?

Justin on noptebookreview is working on it. He already did the test for the w3 and z63. I concur the noise is very acceptable and infact it is almost silent during normal use. If you dont think so you are EXTREMELY sensetive.

two questions, if i may..

1) does undervolting the cpu with centrino hardware control affect the temperature of the vga? (do they share a heatsink?)

2) does using the "underclock video card" in chc help reduce vga temp when idle or office work?

I currently have P4G installed, so i can't test this myself. I don't want to install CHC for now.

Thanks,

Vlad

undervolting only affects the CPU, not the video card. I'm not sure about the other question.
