Testing and Results:
For testing of the Cooler Master NotePal P1, I used my old trusty Toshiba 1115-S103 laptop (or in other words the only laptop I have, lol). This laptop is made up of an Intel Celeron at 1.5Ghz on the Intel 845MZ chipset, two 256mb PC1600 DDR memory, 20gig Toshiba hard drive at 4,200 RPM, a 14.1” TFT LCD screen ran by a ATI Mobility M6 integrated video chipset. Yeah, I know, not much, but it does get pretty hot when used for extended amounts of time.
   
The Toshiba 1115-S103 does not have an accessible CPU thermal probe, but it does have one on the hard drive so that will be the thermal diode that I have to use. During testing, I used Folding@Home with full screen video rendering for CPU maxing and a partition to partition transfer of files all at the same time for an hour straight. This is more than anything I do at once on this laptop and is a stress test for this laptop if there ever was one. For those that are Sandra and 3dMark purists, I was unable to make them run on this laptop as there were some kind of conflicts with the video drivers I am forced to use from Toshiba.
After all the testing, I thought I would pack up the NotePal into my trusty old Targus notebook case. The Cooler Master NotePal just barely fits with some convincing... This is one of the smaller bags available by Targus and I would suspect that most laptop bags and cases should be able to accommodate this cooler.
