- Let's face it, laptops just don't have the same cooling power as desktops, and if you don't believe that, you're a gosh-dang fool. So can sticking an extra cooling pad under your notebook help it stay cool, or even perform better? I don't know, I'm just a description writer. Literally my whole job here. Sigh.

you should have done this test with a laptop that overheats
test is trash. i ran dell test. said i need new hard drive. i turned sideways and blasted with $5 fan and highly decreased temps and retested with ZERO issues and ultra setting capabilities. They build laptops like most appliances full of throw away trash parts bought at lowest bid for biggest profit.
+Exlecticution my dell Inspiron 15R (5537) bought in April of 2014 died after two years. Yes, two years... I was using a laptop cooler when gaming but the laptop died, fuck it.
+BaboonArt probably the laptop cooler was to weak to that it didnt help at all with the cooling
+Android Gaming nooo the i7 was Ultra low voltage, he was never over 80ºand 85º in summer
No idea about the gpu, an amd lol
But after more than a year and a half the system was unstable, loosing wifi, no Bluetooth, and touchpad no responsive sometimes.
I should have called dell bcse in France we have a 2 years warranty, but after the dell warranty of one year, we have to prove we re not the cause of the issue (pretty hard to prove lol)
I will never buy a laptop over 500€ again
+BaboonArt i also have a dell laptop that has an intel core i7 5500u i think and a geforce gtx 840m i used to play csgo smoothly but after a couple of months it started throttling i guess because the game was getting a bit sluggish so iam planning to buy a laptop cooler like the havit cooler
I had an AMD laptop once.. I think it made me sterile.
+Verendus Vir hahahahaha
Harly LMAO!!! 🤣🤣🤣 🐋💀
harlyx64 😂🤣😂🤣😂
My old Celeron did the same
I don't know whats worse, overheating laptops, or people putting high performance laptops on their lap, instead of on a table like you should be.
my laptop used to run into the hundreds and this model brought it down to the eighties (after modifying the bottom cover of the laptop to receive greater airflow into the components). my laptop no longer shuts off by itself, so I would say the cooler has made a difference
Linus should do the same but with the New Macbook and see if a notebook cooler help that shit get better performance similar to his watercooling video.
+Crimson Koba I think that's the sort of laptop that most coolers are meant for now; small form factor, shit cooling, but high performance. Obviously that last one doesn't apply to the macbook, but still.
+DUCKDUDE4100 that did make me chuckle. I recently checked the "build your macbook" thing on their website and the best GPU you can get in a £2k (in price conversion it's like $3k, but Apple seems to just replace the $ with £ when selling here in the UK, so it would be cheaper across the pond) Macbook Pro is the AMD R9 M280X, which is worse than the GTX 860M in my £500 Clevo W230SS
I tried using a cooler on my Macbook Pro, and it won't work unless you take off the cover underneath it.
Sam Morrissey Apple never provides good GPU options and everything costs more here, despite the strength of the £.
You folks do reallize that a macbook hasno underside intakes .. So how the fuck it is supposed to help much?
I feel like this really depends on the placement of the vents in a laptop. Most gaming laptops have dedicated in/out air vents along the back (like the one in the video) and do a good job of cooling themselves, but others try to get away with as little cooling as possible for the sake of thinness. My laptop is an Acer Aspire, very thin, plastic, and it only has one cooling fan for the whole thing. Plus, the air intakes are all on the bottom, so sticking it on a cooling pad makes a massive difference - even compared to a flat table. Oh, and putting it on a bed makes it shut itself off from overheating D:

5:04 the answer you were looking for. No 5 minutes video required.
You should try replacing thermalpaste on a laptop and see if there is a difference because the stock thermalpaste (and the sheer volume of it) looks horrible on most laptops.
+Tommi_6o I didn't get too much of a thermal change on my Lenovo Y580 when idling, but load temps improved a good bit (around 7-10C--the original paste was dried up and was never that great to begin with). I used Corning TC5121 that I got with my BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 3 and it works pretty well, but the tube doesn't come with much.
+Tommi_6o i did this on an old asus gaming laptop (and cleaned out dust etc) got a performance boost and about 4 degrees drop in temperature. (it was cheap hardware store cooling paste)
Interesting, I always wondered how well these things works, I guess it highly depends on the laptop.
i have a notepal xl which fan is 230mm and fan speed of a 1000, and have holes for vents in the back so have slightly more better air flow, it may not help to make it chilly but still it lowers the temperature sooner when the load is put off rather then using the laptop without it also every degree helps when using a laptop. but dont use it on bed, dont want to ruin the cooler fan...
btw i use hp envy 15 i7,4700 gt740m 2gb 8gb ram
2020: hey
TH-cam: hey! check this 2017's super interesting video...
Except it's not. It's a cringefest and misleading bullshit at best.
I've Notepal X3, the LED backlight, which is covered by the laptop 100% of time, is BLAST.
after 8 years i turned my 2008 Alienware M15x into desktop. tuned sideways with industrial fan blowing high into vents providing high circulation. Cooling pads are shit and provide 0 artificial air flow opposed to a fan with exposed back end unline a pad with fans that have back ends restricting air current. Toss battery charger next to sideways laptop to decrease heat also and vuaaalaah! 10 fps top and gaming to 90fps. Usb and hdmi connected to 70" tv , keyboard n mouse. Please leave out basic comments about cleaning vents and thermal paste cus lets face it, this late in gaming and this should not be an ongoing issue of overheating. BUT IT IS!
Exlecticution ummm how did you convert it to a desktop? Adding displays isn’t doing that at all.
If you undervolt your CPU, apply good thermal compound and use the laptop in a well-ventilated, clean environment on a flat surface.. no. A standalone cooler is useless.
The heck? XD This cooler has been around for a long time!
From what I've seen, the jokes keep getting worse, but after each video, I feel more and more informed.
The difference is that most notebook users don't have a gaming one. Mine (hp) gets about 70°C and is too hot to hold it when I don't have a table near
Best tip is if you have a cheap cooling pad then remove the metal grill it stops pretty much air
I've got Asus S56C with i5 3337 and gt 740m and those run around 75c when gaming on a table. But because the laptop is slim (21mm) while the cooling being on it's max, gpu can get +90c if you stress it while using it on top of your lap. Laptop cooler or standoff solves that issue.
In my opinion the laptop chill pads work best in an A/C controlled environment. Ventilating cool air to the system's Vents.
My Notebook and Board is at 95 °C while gaming
needs cleaning
It is brand new
Dennis3Run then you should send it back.
+Hurriname holy shit
Damn, im running an i7 6700 in my gaming laptop and i still never get above 60 celcius even after playing gta V on max settings at between 1080 and 4k for more than 5-6 hours
The Targus cooling pad is a collective shared memory
Solution: do your work in the arctic! You could edit 4k on a 2015 macbook there!
The cooler in my old laptop died.. so i took off the cover, the cooler and used a notebook cooler. it helped a lot! but, i think that installing a 140mm noctua cooler right under the missing one also helped :P
So we actually removed the motherboard of an overheating Samsung series Chronos 7 (Ivy bridge quadcore i7 3615QM GT 640M) and placed it on a foam case with new thermal paste and extra fans to blow air into the internal heatpipies and the thing keeps shutting off do to overheating, well we did try it on Cinebench, but the graphics card was barely loaded. Well done Samsung, your dual fan slim cooling is shit. I trusted you.
Two bottle caps on the rear legs of a laptop to give it better air intake is truly the only thing you need to do to improve performance on a properly made laptop.
Safe to clean laptops with compressed air?
it's fine as long as it's turned off
try to keep the fan stoped from spinning
I did and my laptop still working fine
i use an industrial fan and industrial exhaust fans and an industrial blower and a high tech aircon around my brand new NEC ULTRALITE 1989 LAPTOP and the benchmarks is f@(
Performance benefits might be negligible but it might just stop your motherboard from melting.
I'm using the MSI gt72 (dominator) and there's already a built-in cooling system and it works fine, this kind of equipments are truly out of date
I don't care so much about getting more performance out of my Aorus 7 but if the cooling pad can keep it even a bit cooler then I'm okay with that. I don't use it for gaming much anyway. Just schooling for now.
I live in usuahia I let the window open when gaming and the laptop close to it, the CPU never goes upper than 37º Degrees (I use gloves lol)

@@santifernandez6652 xD
today´s laptops have decent cooling systems , but i see these notebook coolers efficient while using it in the bed , for example i enjoy gaming from my bed or couch more than on my desk.
Useful consumer advice. Where have I heard that before? Clue: profile GIF
Who needs an oven or a toaster when I have gta 5 running on my pc
so basically if u spend over a $1000 on a laptop then no but for us 99% who have a normal laptop I find it really helps wen watching movies or playing some old skool games that my pc can actually run. It keeps it loads cooler like as if it was idol cool well worth the $30
Back in the day my uncle had a dell i5 5th gen laptop , left it on the bed till it blew up (yes literally it was burned).
And thats when our whole family learned not to leave a laptop on the bed.
Ja, I think the conclusion would be different if the heat were causing the CPU to throttle to prevent overheating. Otherwise, the laws of physics aren't going to be much different between 50 - 70 degrees Celsius...
I was cooling my E15 with 2x Static Airpressure Server fans
I stayed under 85°C what was a huge improvement
Respectfully disagree... If you power gaming for like 3 or 4 hours with no cooler on wooden case...The wood beneath the computer will be heat up and up then the computer will stack up on tem. The main reason I am using a cooler is to prevent heat stack up on the surface...
If you test for 3 or 4 hours instead of only one short fire strike. You will know what I mean.
I used an electric fan, sometimes in front of the ACU just to cool down my gaming laptop.
I really feel like you should do with consumer level pcs like hps and toshibas in the 400-700 dollar range
55°CPU... but while idling? I understand that these aren't necessary at all if I have my laptop on a table and am doing nothing. But that's not what these are for - your laptopt isn't idling when it's on! Just unrealistic. The cases I think I need these in:
1) Several hours of gaming/ CPU running on max.
2) High room temperatures in summer, like when you have 29°C in the room already.
3) In the bed/ on your lap (definitely not gonna stay on 57°C when watching movies or playing Sims 3 in bed!).
It's those situations that you should have tested, the situations when the laptopt would usually go 90°C+ or even crash because of overheating!
This is fine for normal usage, but what about someone who has overclocked their GPU? Certainly you'd want extra cooling for the increased heat output, right?
if you make custom notebook cooler,you can see much better results......i have maded for mine,and my temperatures droppped about 20 degrees,max load temp was in my laptop 55 degrees on CPU and GPU......
2016 is 6 years old... Wow
What about a laptop the common user is going to be working on while they're surfing on Facebook for hours at a time? What would the difference be in that scenario?

Hey Linus Tech Tips!
They work.
Another needless add on that someone, a marketer perhaps, is trying to convince the populous that we all need to have this device to keep our laptops cooler. If there was an overheating problem the manufacturers wouldn't be selling the laptops in such an abundance. Thanks for the show and tell video. I hope some of the kiddies learned something, you know, like test before you leap...
Terry Morris I mean, it does help my laptop and it also runs better..
Sitting with your laptop in the bed.....
Its called a LAPtop and not a BEDtop for a reason.
I use my laptop on my bed, but I raise my laptop and with books, and cover the bottom part of the bed with another book :D
Test with DVD encoding (peg CPU) or with BOINC science projects (pegs both CPU and GPU)
why use cooling pad when you can use exhaust vacuum fan to suck all the hot air out faster?
What about the temperatures of hard drives? Did they decrease for 5°C as well?
running 3dmark for 10-20 minutes is not a realistic scenario. Games are played for hours, some people play them all day long
What a crazy presentation !
A simple"yes" or "no".........
......
.....
Would suffice.
Im struggling with my MSI laptop. Its always 95C CPU temp while gaming. I had to go into the power management and reduce the CPU to 80%. Nothing else worked....
For me, without my cheap cooler the laptop over-heat and turn off every 10m to 30m depends on what I'm doing

Great for longevity though, right? I mean if it's cooler, it lasts longer, right?
Cooler pads are going to get rid of the heat or not ?
I'm not really worried about difference in performance as I am amount letting my laptop make it past 3 years old
Technology has advanced too quickly to make this video irrelevant.
My laptop quite often is running at 98 degrees Celsius the specs are 16 gig of ddr3 Core i7-4720HQ 3.6 AMD R9 265 4 gig and only one fan
Is that Riley in the background?
I really like these videos, but you should test different types and branded equipment as well. Becasue u know maybe this msi gaming notebook has a very good and efficient cooler anyways so an additiional cooler won't affect anything (i know..+/-5° in this case). Just a thought u know
performance? no. generally using it? yes. if i dont cool my laptop it will overheat under high load(gta 5 or bf4) and it will just turn off as a safety measure
just a brick under the laptop -> -5° as well ...
When I tested my notebook cooler, I got a 20°C decrease if I remember correctly.
Astro Mec wow
Which notebook cooler is that?
What's wrong with this video, at 1080p it looks like It is 360p or 480p.
In terms of performance, okay if doesn't affect it what's so ever. But what about the life span of your computer?
I use legos & a usb fan
Nice bro
Only one fan?

Questions: are laptop cooling pads effective ?
Options : yes or no .
Linus : talks for one decade
I don't know what he is trying to say 😢
same. Its just a yes or no question. I guess
Half of the video is jokes and puns. And they probably should have used a laptop that actually needs the cooling pad for the testing.
Yes it is effective in 4-5 degrees difference... But not in performance. :)
@@KinBDutMean degree in Fahrenheit or Celsius?

@@docklikeable9264 almost always in Celsius when talking about computer thermals
My laptop used to get up to 100 Celsius and crash while playing Skyrim. It was so hot it would burn my hands and fingers, and the fans blew out air so hot that they once melted a stick of deodorant I accidentally left by my laptop. One day I just got sick of it and ordered a super nice cooling pad and one of those vacuum fans that attaches to the exhaust vents. Now my CPU doesn't get above 65 and my gpu never above 75. The fans helped a ton, so I can personally say they work. Skyrim didn't crash after that either.
I've done that they both do about the same work. I have a really good cooling pad, so it pushes a ton of air through the laptop, then the vent pulls it out on the other end. Maybe its just intake vent placement for yours. My fan blows directly into it. Plus my GPU is on the otherside where I dont have another vent vacuum fan.
Clean out ur laptop xD
Jesus my laptop is clean as it gets. I dismantle it for cleaning every couple weeks it makes no difference. My laptop just has a very poor cooling setup like most laptops.

What a sloppy and messed up review Linus , you usually do a better job .... The main goal of those laptop coolers is not to bring performance into the table at all man .. BUT temps reduction and the associated benefits it will provide to the cramped hardware inside that portable system , the real goal of any laptop cooler review is to determine if that specific product really works, when you game on with a USD$ 2500+ gaming laptop for 8 hours and you want at least -10C outta the GPU / CPU by using one of these on a flat clean surface, sadly that MSI unit you decided to use (thanks god it wasn't the fancy razer) is not the best sample unit to test out this , you should have used a bigger unit such as the MSI GT70-GT72 , alienware M17/M18 , asus ROG 17 , we are talking about high end REAL frying pans !
I have a notebook cooler and it works great! My laptop used to be around 80 degrees Celsius but now it's around 60-70 degrees Celsius and my games are now getting a few extra fps. So it's worth it.
I know the temps before are still good, but because I overclock my laptop I want to decrease the temperature as much as possible.

Cooling pads were never meant to increase performance (how could they? Its not an extra RAM, CPU or anything like that), but decrease heat stress on the laptop, so why test performane when it wont affect it (short term at least)? The only relevant thing to test if it increases cooling, and it did, so it works.
I think they were testing thermo throttling so without the cooler they expected it to cut back and thus lose performance compared to the cooler pad which would stop throttling and result in higher performance
the lower the the temp the better performance u get
Thermal throttling
Calle Nilsson but when the PC is cooler doesnt it run faster, beacuse when my PC overheats i get FPS drops all the time. And when i use a normal desk fan i dont get any FPS drops
Haven´t a clue what this guy is on about! ...he on drugs?
Nah
That intro legitimately left me scratching my head
I thought the point of a laptop cooler was to prolong the life of the laptop not to boost performance. As you said, "...heat is one of the biggest factors when it comes to premature hardware death." Isn't that reason enough to recommend using a laptop cooler?
Thermal throttling..... if it gets too hot, it will slow itself down.
@Hatwox yes but the fact that it gets to those high temps and then only throttles is what hurts the hardware anyway,keeping it cool at ALL times will prolong it so much more
Too much self-aware...

You have some really great videos but oh my god this one was really irritating to watch... please no more ridiculous voices.
I've bought a laptop 5 months ago (i7 6700HQ, Nvidia gtx 950M, 8 RAM) and when plugged in and playing games on it (like Warface, Call of Duty 4, battlefield 3, gta 5, these kinds of games) I get CPU temp up to 90 degrees and when I put my hand on the side of the laptop it starts burning me after a few seconds and I can't keep it there anymore. On idle my CPU has around 50 degrees. You think I should clean it? I mean... how much dust could it gathered in 5 months? It's hard to take the back out, it is something in the middle that holds it (from inside) and I'm afraid that I'll break it if I force it to open. I have an Asus F550VX
yes, clean it if there is no warranty void
if you havent warranty anymore, you can also change the thermal paste !
ok linus, what about a laptop like a he pavilion that isn't as optimized as that MSI laptop. my one is a bit older and doesn't have as many vents as antony's
