Khaffit XCOM:EW is the expansion version of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, XCOm Enemy Within in full name. It also isn’t a bad port, it isn’t missing anything that a fully bought version of XCOM 1 on PC has. Yes it can’t do mods, but that would be the nature of it on mobile. However when I want to do a quick tactical mission or play some on the go when not near my laptop or desktop, I can play the mobile version. Yes the graphics don’t look great but that isn’t the point of XCOM as a game. Also the further my point to the main comment, Mini Metro, and Plague Inc. are also on mobile, Mini Metro being an excellent simple puzzle game, well mostly simple anyway, and Plague Inc. is the same as the PC version even, fully, no graphical changes.

I'm surprised at these results. I've seen other benchmarks that suggest that the fan in the Red Dragon 3s doesn't provide enough cooling effect to boost performance. Your test seemed to show otherwise. BTW, I believe your can use the software to turn the fan off, which could allow you to run the same test, but the fan off, and compare the results.

I'm curious if just gluing a CPU heatsink to the back of your device might not work just as well. I mean they come in all shapes and sizes, you can sand down the rough edges of the sink and they can probably be cooled with ambient air since they wouldn't be in a closed environment. And if you wanted to you could add a fan- I guess. They make tablet and cellphone grips that look like this already so all you would really be doing is changing out the material with a better heat conductor.

I'm probably late but, I own a red magic 3. Quick* review: I bought the phone because of its huge battery, it delivers in that category. Camera has a great sensor but it's over sharpened to heck in software. 90hz screen is nice, gets fairly dark on the low end, doesn't get terribly bright though. Dual speakers are nice, and having an audio jack is very nice. USB C is nice, I'll never go back to micro B, and USB OTG is fun to play with, and useful at times due to lack of an SD card slot. Dual SIM is nice. It's good at playing pubg mobile, and really nice for Pokemon go (see battery). According to my girlfriend, the only person I really call, it sucks at being a cell phone. Screen protectors and cases are easy to find for the phone, and even without them the phone is relatively durable (don't drop it on your face it's heavy) RGB lights on the back are stupid but fun, the side triggers are actually nice, but my right trigger acts up from time to time. *I guess it wasn't that quick.

[@danodden9783]

I think phones should have a piece of copper on the SoC that can be accessed from the rear with a removable cover on it (the cover is so you don't burn your fingers while holding the phone) so when you put something like a case or other accessory on it, it has the opportunity to act as a proper cooler. After all glass isn't great for conducting heat. Lol.

Back in 2008-ish I added an old Pentium 1 cooler to the back of my phone because my phone would get so hot when both charging in the car and using maps that it would quickly slow down and stop charging then die. I did it by adding thermal paste on the block and surrounding it in hot glue then sticking it to the phone. It was very easy to rewire a car charger to use the full 12 volts of the car, which I added a standard molex plug for the fan. It worked great though it was a bit bulky and stabby in the pocket if I put it in the wrong way.

Is there tech for the Razer Phone 2? I feel it runs with amazing cooling with its factory settings and cooler tubes. Any thoughts? Also looking for more 120 hx games. its a wonderful piece of machinery for me. Learning android after being in the cult of Apple for so long has me confused on simple tasks. I run a Razer Blade Pro as my game rig (haven;t built a desktop yet but hope to soon. If you ever build the compensator with 2 Qusdro 8000s for rendering animations and graphic design,, I would gladly take it. I can't walk due to a car crash that left me a paraplegic, so I have learned to use my hands to create and repair things I have in my mind. I am also a writer who animates his own stories using different programs, Mainly Ps, Gimp, or Blender. Just throwing out there that if you ever think you need a new compensator, or just want to change someone life100% towards hsi dreams. I'd take it and put it to work on my series.

Peltier coolers are actually used to cool electronics. They are usually used when you need a target temperature(heating and cooing) for high precision devices or low power applications where reliability is more important than efficiency. Doesn't make sense to strap one to a phone.

[@celifreo6586]

Linus, those 5V TEC's love power, I have played around with a few of them myself, and my findings are that they draw around 3A on startup, but as they reach their 'thermoequilibrium of operation', they are drawing around 2.2-2.8A from a 5V power source; your bottleneck is probably either A: that your power bank can only supply 1-2A of current, or B: that the terrible implementation of the micro-USB is limiting current to around 2A. if they had used a type-c USB, and specified that you utilize a power source capable of sustained 3A, than this product would almost definitely perform much better.

[@yubinator7455]

I know this comment is very old now but I have a question. What part number(?) were you using? I am planning to use these 5v TECs for the same purpose, a DIY phone cooler like in the video.

[@FirstGateNAN]

This is the only comment I want to see despite these "linus linus" comments. I mean, you're absolutely correct. the powerbank can't deliver more power to the cooling fan which as a result slow perfomance. he could have been used 2A-3A charging adapter and see its full potential

[@yubinator7455]

@@FirstGateNAN the problem is that most of the USB port of the coolers are using are the cheap/ standard ones so the micro USB will only go up to 2A or worse. I think it won't even support the 5V 3A of power bricks nowadays(but maybe it will, I might be wrong). All the Phone coolers that use TEC modules that I see online only support up to 5V 1.5A to 2A only and the expensive ones support 5V 3A to 9V 2A.

[@deathbubblez4747]

[@jazbronoh5873]

I think the reason why the magic phone suprisingly hotter than the note 10 is because the fan is mounted inside the phone and encased by metal back (Which in general is thermal conductor). But with the heat trapped inside is then generated by the fan which flows directly into other thermal conductive mechanisms that are commonly mounted on the front glass panel. Given there are tiniest holes as vents and the thick metal back will more likely sucking the air in the beginning and the gap between. Leaves the front panel warmth as opposed to metal back ( even though glass are insulators and poor thermal conductors) it would act like an electric stove.
