Cooler Master’s ErgoStand keeps your Notebook Cooler with Style
The Test and Conclusion
We have already seen shockingly high temperatures on this editor’s notebook peak over 100 degrees C with the notebook sitting on a table in a warm (75F) room. These high temperatures were caused just by running “normal” activities such as, game playing, photo/video editing, and web surfing.
Next, we reset the HW Monitor and place our notebook on the NotePal ErgoStand with its fan at maximum, and we continue on with the same type of activities as before – for hours more. We will then report to you what the notebooks’s maximum temperatures are with it on the ErgoStand compared to the extreme internal temperatures without the stand cooling it.
The Notebook used all throughout this testing is my same Compaq CQ60-210US with a 2.0 GHz Athlon X2/GeForce 8200M combination. Here are the results. First, here are the notebook’s internal temperatures without the ErgoStand cooler:
Now with the same notebook running the same applications being cooled on the ErgoStand (at maximum R.P.M.s):
To my joy, we see that the CPU and GPU are now around ten degrees C cooler with only the assembly temperatures unchanged. By this simple test, I am sold and Cooler Master’s NotePal ErgoStand is now part of my life. I rest much easier knowing that my notebook will probably last a lot longer with this cooler than without it.
Conclusion
Pros
Cooler Master’s NotePal ErgoStand is a product that does exactly what it promises:
1) It makes typing on your notebook/netbook easier on your wrists and eyes by providing 5 levels of adjustability
2) The ErgoStand provides good cable management and 3 additional USB ports

Cons:
None
Cooler Master’s NotePal ErgoStand is deserving of at least two awards.

Nice read. I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing some research on that. He actually bought me lunch since I found it for him! So let me rephrase: Thanks for lunch!
