i will post the temp without opolar later at night.
as to the chinese knockoff, actually what you need to get is the exact type or model, mine also the chinese knockoff named tuffware instead opolar. but the one you want to pay attention is the model, get the LC05 or LC06 model, don't get the one that looks like a big square box. i own both models and the square box fan is trash.
*update*
without opolar
i'm confused... the results are more or less the same between opolar and the back cover... i'm really hitting the limit of laptop cooling.
Actually I wouldn't expect the opolars to have any significant (more than 1-2 deg) once you drill holes above fans which makes sense.
Yeah, I ordered the exact same model as opolar, the price difference was huge, since if I want an Opolar, I will have to order from amazon.com and pay import duty of around 40$ on top which is really unfair. From aliexpress, it can still get stuck at customs, so fingers crossed.
btw, i should have mentioned it earlier, i didn't set my opolars fan speed, i just let it go automatically depends on the opolar sensors
@praky
i could have sworn the opolars did bring down a lot of Cs.
but i really have to remind you guys to get the LC05 or LC06 model, not the box fan.
*update*
this is opolar top speed (level 13)
opolar medium speed (level 10)
opolar lower speed (level 7)
in automatic fan mode the opolars won't kick in until my temp reaches 65-70s. since it relies on its own sensors.
that's why my benchmarks previous posts were pointless *stupid stupid me*
i'm sorry guys...
max speed fan is too noisy, while med fan speed is ok, level 9 has the same temp as level 10 but less noisy. great for gaming.
anymore tests you guys want me to do?

I can understand someone not liking the sound of the Opolars on 13, they can be loud. Personally, it doesn't bother me as I always game with headphones. I'd like to use the AUTO feature on them but they never go as high as 13 in auto with the temperatures produced by the laptop. I just fire them both up to 13 prior to my gaming session and then turn them down to 2 after I've finished playing and the system has gone back down to 36C (idle with both Opolars set to 2). Some folks would find this tedious and a pain in the butt and trust me, I do too. But I'm a stickler for keeping my temps on this unit as low as I can so I do what I have to do. I've owned 2 LC06's now for over a year and have had them running every day, almost all day. They work as good as new. Quality product and a beast for removing that hot air quickly.
