The cooling is handed over to the vivo cooling clip Pro, and the performance release is handed over to the mobile phone

This week, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai, and southern Sichuan and other places have broken records, many places issued high temperature warnings, even one of our office air conditioners due to the temperature of the external unit is too high and strike for half a day, the scary thing is that some scientists speculate that this year's "El Niño" is likely to reappear, and many people on the Internet have shouted muffled heat.

Mobile phones and other electronic devices face such a heat wave, and often limit power consumption due to high temperatures to ensure the safety of internal devices, and performance is greatly limited - like we published an outdoor 36°C high temperature test "Genshin" video last year, all mobile phones are not spared, mobile phones are not only hot, but also very poor performance in all aspects.

The only and effective way to solve this problem is to cool the mobile phone, in fact, not only the high temperature climate, but also the weekday want to further release the hardware performance of the mobile phone, cooling and improving the heat dissipation efficiency is also a very effective method - the market has thus born an active cooling clip-on radiator, with a refrigeration chip + thermal conductive sheet + fan in the form of acceleration to take away the heat of the mobile phone, but the previous heat dissipation clip cooling effect is mostly slow, seems to be more chicken.

Recently, it seems that some manufacturers have increased the working power of the heat dissipation back clip to 27W, like vivo's new heat dissipation back clip Pro, under the seemingly harmless white shell, there is a 2000mm² refrigeration chip hidden, and the heat dissipation effect may be the TOP level on the market today.

27W

What does it mean for the thermal clip?

What is the concept of a thermal clip with a power of 27W? The official said that the fastest 6 seconds can cool down 10 °C, but in fact? So we have monitored the power, noise, surface temperature and other indicators of vivo heat dissipation clip Pro when it is not on the machine under no load.

It has three adjustable gears, we first use the meter to measure the power status of each gear under normal working conditions - first of all, the power of the first gear is 10W~12W, which has reached the power level of most ordinary heat dissipation clips on the market today; The second-gear power of 16~18W is the level of heat dissipation clips that take the performance route on the market today; The third gear is the officially advertised 27W maximum power, and the actual measured normal working power is between 26~28W, and the overall working power is quite stable.

On the other hand, we recorded the temperature of its cooling surface for 5 seconds as a unit of time in the room (25°C±1°C temperature, 50% ±5% relative humidity environment), and the temperature changes of its three intensities are as follows.

The higher the visible gear, the higher the temperature drop will naturally be, and the first gear can be reduced to 1.2 °C; The no-load of the second and third gears can even be reduced to below zero, with the lowest -2.8 °C in the second gear and -6.3 °C in the third gear. In addition, the temperature drop rate in the first 20 seconds is still relatively close, and the three gears can achieve "about 7 °C in the first 5 seconds", "about 13 °C in the first 10 seconds", "1 minute and a half minutes can basically reduce the minimum temperature" - basically consistent with the official claim of "6 seconds down 10 °C", behind this 2000mm² refrigeration chip is a big credit; This is one of the fastest cooling clips I've used recently.

High power and high cooling efficiency, what about noise? We simulated the daily working state of the machine, and collected the noise of the vivo cooling clip Pro with a sound meter 30cm away from the mobile phone in a quiet room - this is a relatively close operating distance for daily games.

First of all, we actually recorded a sound volume of 30dB in a quieter environment indoors, and the first gear only recorded a sound volume of 31dB, which basically did not perceive the sound of the fan in a quieter room; The second gear is 34.6dB, which is not easy to perceive in a quieter indoor environment; Until the third gear of 44.3dB, the subtle rustle of the cooling clip fan can be heard in a quieter indoor environment, and if the external game sound can cover it up, this is basically not a problem.

Here is a brief summary, the measured power, no-load cooling capacity, and noise of the three gears of vivo heat dissipation back clip Pro are sorted out in the above table. However, the actual heat dissipation effect must continue to be measured on the machine to see the real chapter.

Cured "Genshin",

Is it a good heat dissipation clip?

In the part of the actual measurement on the machine, we selected the iQOO Neo8 Pro, which was recently released and first released on the MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ platform, and directly tested the "Genshin" in half an hour, comparing the impact of using vivo thermal clip Pro on frame rate, picture shake, body temperature and power consumption.

First of all, the iQOO Neo8 Pro bare metal "Genshin" without the blessing of the heat dissipation clip runs for half an hour, and the overall seems to be okay, but there are many fine fluctuations in the frame rate curve, and out of a total of 22 picture shakes, there are 4 more serious jitter; The average power is about 5.7W, and the highest temperature of the fuselage is almost 47°C.

Restart after sufficient cooling, and then buckle the iQOO Neo8 Pro vivo heat dissipation back clip Pro for half an hour "Genshin", compared with the previous results, first of all, the temperature, whether it is the back of direct contact with the back clip, or the bare front, the maximum temperature of the fuselage is more than 11 °C lower than before. From the frame rate curve, iQOO Neo8 Pro's fine jitter is less, and the jitter amplitude is also smaller, recording more severe jitter only twice, on the other hand, the average power consumption of the mobile phone has also dropped by 0.8W.

No matter how good the heat dissipation is,

If the design is not good, it is also for nothing?

vivo actually has a unique design, that is, this "double C port L-type" design, the bottom port is used for power supply, and another C port next to it can be shunted to the mobile phone, with this attached L-type branch cable, you can realize the power supply to the back clip while charging the mobile phone.

Here I used an ammeter to test the power supply of these two ports, in addition to the third gear can not power the mobile phone, the first gear, the second gear will split up to 10W of power to charge the mobile phone, and the heat dissipation clip itself can still run at full power in their respective gears - it is not practical to rely on it to achieve fast charging of the mobile phone, but this is very suitable for some mobile phones to bypass the battery, use the "external power supply" mode to further reduce the battery load, and then further reduce the heating of mobile games to release hardware performance.

Another point is that vivo is more thoughtful, its air duct is designed in the up and down direction, rather than the left and right of most heat dissipation back clips, or omnidirectional air duct - such a design When working on the machine, the air duct exports hot air to avoid finger blowing, not easy to feel the heat, and the other directly avoids the heat returning to the back of the phone, causing hot and cold interference.

A problem that many heat dissipation clips will basically encounter is the conflict between the telescopic frame and the buttons. First of all, the vast majority of mobile phones are not born with a design for heat dissipation back clips, and can only be adapted to the shape of mobile phones by back clips. Almost all heat dissipation clips are made of spring-type clip design, clamped on the waist frame of the mobile phone; And the mobile phone takes into account the comfort of operation, basically put the switch in the middle of the right border, the volume key is placed above the switch or in the middle of the other side of the border, the clip of the heat dissipation clip is easy to jam the button, resulting in lock screen, long press shutdown and the like, and even say that the thinner the mobile phone, the easier it is to be stuck by the clip, or can only offset the back clip down.

▲ Huawei nova 11 Ultra, Xiaomi Civi3, vivo S17 Pro on the machine

vivo heat dissipation back clip Pro does not seem to have this problem, it is said that its clip buckle has a new trapezoidal design, even if clamped in the position of the button will not directly contact the button, so as not to touch by mistake - even if it is a few recent light and thin machines, such as Huawei's 7.88mm thick nova 11 Ultra, Xiaomi's 7.56mm Civi3, and vivo 7.46mm S17 Pro, the measured will not jam the key.

Is this kind of heat dissipation clip product still chicken ribs? In the past, I might have said that such products were useful but had limited practical results; But after vivo raised the refrigeration chip to 2000mm² and the power to 27W, it can be said that it is clear and effective, plus reasonable detail design, the overall experience is good.

This kind of product may not be suitable for everyone, but for more serious mobile game enthusiasts, it is a good thing to enhance the experience; The vivo thermal back clip Pro large chip and high-power design may be a universal thermal back clip that cannot be ignored on the market today.
