DinoPC Pegasus 17.3inch GTX 765M Review

Let's start with idle temperatures after running the desktop for 30 minutes. On the underside of the chassis I measured these temperatures with my infrared Raytek MiniTemp.

Remember, the battery is towards the front of the chassis and all the cooling goes on at the rear.

Once I had a baseline I kicked things up and loaded the system with a combination of Furmark and Cinebench. This raised the temperatures on the underside of the chassis by the tiny amount of two to three degrees.

I wondered whether Clevo might have insulated the chassis to prevent the heat getting out, in which case it would be baking inside.

Well no. Internally the nVidia GPU was running at 53 degrees Celsius and the loaded temperature for the CPU was 64 degrees. That is 15-20 degrees cooler than the MSI GS70 2OD-Stealth and while the MSI has a beefy 47W Core i7 the DinoPC isn't far behind with a 37W Core i5.

The only conclusion I can draw is that the Clevo cooling system is stunningly efficient and is doing a really good job of cooling the internals.
