Testing (continued):

Load Testing:

Now, we'll fire up Prime95 and Xbench to start cooking the internals. As you can see from our data, once again, merely elevating the MacBook gives us some benefit and a pretty good reduction in CPU temperatures across both cores.

Core 0:



Core 1:



The addition of active airflow gives us a slight reduction in Northbridge temperature.



The hard drive is not influenced much by the cooler during load testing.



GPU data is a mixed bag, with all three readings being within two degrees of each other.
