Thermaltake Tai-Chi M+

INTRODUCTION

As notebooks become more powerful, they are also getting hotter.  Many of today’s gaming notebooks are made with high performance CPU, dedicated GPU, and a fast 7200 rpm hard drive.  These components offer excellent performance but also generate tremendous heat, something you don’t want to find on your notebook.  Unlike desktop components, notebook components usually are not replaceable and even if they are, it is usually not easy to do by average users.  Hence, the cooling of the notebook components are highly dependant on the level of craftsmanship used by the manufacturer.  Unfortunately, due to the need to keep the notebooks light, sometimes it is not easy to offer the best cooling for all the top of the line CPU, GPU, and hard drives inside that one-inch portable unit. 

This is why we have seen many manufacturers offer external notebook coolers.  These external notebook coolers come in various sizes and forms.  There’s active cooled notebook stands, which functions as a stand for the system and underneath the stand, there are fans where it will either blows or sucks air to help cool the system.  There are also cooling pads, which are essentially made with material that can help cool the underside of the notebook by absorbing the heat away from the bottom of the notebook.

Thermaltake is a company primarily been known for their cases, power supply, and various cooling solutions.  In addition to offer many CPU heat sink and fan and watercooling setup, Thermaltake also have many notebook coolers.  We have received their Tai-Chi M+ notebook which we’ll put it through tests and see if it can help to cool the notebook components.

SPECIFICATION

THE COMPANY

Thermaltake Technology Co., Ltd. started its core business based on our extensive knowledge of PC thermal management during the era where the area of performance CPU cooling was only exclusive for "overclockers" orPC enthusiasts. With the company's initial launch of Orb coolers, it created waves of shocks and appraisals throughout the gaming and overclocking communities. Thermaltake quickly became the name gamers turn to when they need high-end and reliable thermal solutions.

With company's core business of CPU cooling still growing at a vast rate, Thermaltake made another grand entry to the PC chassis industry. To date, Thermaltake has always been considered as the pioneering company that revolutionized the PC chassis industry with Xaser series enclosures. The typical and traditional beige and plastic front panel design was outdone by Xaser series chassis's atypical gaming red and aluminum front panel. It was also the first enclosure available to public with Hardcano unti which provided users full control over computer's thermal management system.

In the year 2002, Thermaltake announced Purepower line of power supply unti for the ever-growing power-hungry PCs. Purepower series PSU quickly gained recognition with its extensive warranty and high-reliability guaranty.
