MSI CX623 Laptop Review – Core i5/Geforce 310M

The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 24c – a comfortable environment for the majority of people reading this.

Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes. Load measurements were acquired by running Furmark and Cinebench together.

We also attached 5 diodes to the rear of the machine to measure the load temperatures of various parts of the chassis. These were measured after 1 hour of intensive work.

The underside of the laptop is generally quite cool, with only ZONE 1 becoming noticeably warm after extended load. This is because the radiated heat from both the CPU and GPU are passed across heatpipes to this area then heat is forced outside the chassis via the fan.

The CX623 is comfortable to use, unless you are pushing the CPU to 100% for long periods of time. The cooling system is great.
