I've tested 10 laptops on 3 different cooling pads, vacuum coolers, simple stand and just a regular table in this newer updated video: th-cam.com/video/tXvKiy65pwg/w-d-xo.html
UwU
Can’t wait!
Can you add some "lap/business" friendly options; My two cents: Targus AWE55EU , and AVLT-Power 17" Laptop Cooling Stand, (evil third: Belkin CoolSpot: F5L055btBLK ) . I hope this makes it in time for your new release. Thank again!
Do multi fan help cool the laptop better than one fan?
Can't wait for the video.
Playing with rgb on is like +10 fps
@Skull_ Crusher it's a Joke u twat
I'm getting 20fps +
not as effective as pewdiepie gaming chair, that gives like +50
Anthony Ocampo Shut the fuck up
Nah man playing with rgb on is like + 1000
Save your time go for the minute 4:00
🙏🏼😎
Thx
these people wont shut the fuck up and get to the point thank you
Weird when i clicked on 4 mins i was already on 4 mins so i was confused lol
@@Mad_Axe_Man125 If you were making yt videos you would do the same bro. Just show some respect for the hard work that saves for you a lot more time. Imagine doing it urself ufff too much work.
I hope rgb don't get into the cars
has been since like 2016
RGB everything!
Haha it's been in cars since the first fast and the furious movie....
@@AnotherPaulShin
what can we expect next 😂
mercedes s class with gtx 1080 ti 😂
Yes I get u bro
Tip: Just use a phone charger to plug it into a powerstrip/wall.
Yeah good point.
@@pydrasparadox-uz2cq Any that you have works, all of them work at 5v.
Good idea. Just short question, won't AC damage DC gadget? tried searching on google, not much.
@@deezed9491 Well I have been doing this for over a year and have not had any problems, so I would say it's safe.
@@deezed9491 The power brick that plugs into the wall rectifies the AC and transforms it to a 5v DC path.
RGB lighting does help in cooling and I'm not joking around.
RGB lighting is basically Electromagnetic waves ..... Which carry energy according to equation E=hv. When you turn RGB on...it carries heat energy from source to nearby surrounding .... giving a cooling effect. That's why Laptops with RGB effects looks and stays "COOL".
Seems legit, RGB everything!
@@JarrodsTech Right.... Even mobile phones these days are coming with RGB...Asus Rog phone, Razer Phone 2....see.....it does help
viru100 Singh this did not help the latest Asus scar laptop :P
@@TabalugaDragon uhhh....it does...mine is running cool
@Astro it was a joke 😉
Ha, something reviewed in your channel that I can finally afford.
But wait... I dont have a laptop thought.......
You can get it and pretend 😎
@@JarrodsTech ._.
Use you imagination lmao
Well you can sit on that thing and cool your Area 51 down..
*_mount in inside your pc case_*
You have THE best reviews on YT. Helped me decide on my new laptop, so thanks for cutting all the BS & just telling us what we need/want to know!
No problem at all, cheers!
Everything was looking good but when it got to the power source, that was a deal breaker.
Yeah 😰
Power braker??
Why

*F A C T S !*
Important part, can't skip that!
My God bro, you deserve more subs, your reviews are awesome, keep up the good work.
Sorry for my english, I'm from Brazil. ;)
Thanks for the support!
I thought that I was the only one form Brazil...
Br ta em todos os lugares! Kkk
By the way, your English is good!
Nice channel everytime I want to know more about something I see one of your videos in my recommendations +1 subscriber
Thanks, and welcome to the channel!
This is exactly what I've been pondering over the last few days as I think about my next laptop upgrade!😅😅 Thanks for the video!
No problem at all!
Is this available in India
Why don't the just make a cooling pad built in underneath the laptop?
That’s what the fans are, these are just extra fans
Fan-Tastic Coling Pad!! maybe u shd open the laptop bottom panel to make a different..
😎👌
Whoa, how did TH-cam know I just bought this
I agree with the adapter vs 2 USB ports argument. Wish there was a choice because USB ports are precious real estate for me.
TH-cam knows all! Haha, hope the cooling pad goes well!
Shinique04 just buy an adapter so that you can have your USB ports back.. i hardly ever use the ports on my actual laptop its either plugged into a hub or i just have a shit ton of Apple adapters and just plug them in there into the wall or power strip
@@DeziJ23 So did you just get a type M barrel cable and plug?
I use a wire cake cooling rack from a kitchen shop. Got one just bigger than my laptop. The laptop fits between the feet of the rack in my bag so it only tales up 3mm of extra space, when I get where I'm going I flip the rack right way up and place the laptop on top of the rack for a 20mm air gap underneath. It also offers some extra protection for the computer when it's in the bag.
Yeah that would do the trick!
lol i put a tube on my ac/heater and put a hole in my desk and attached the tube to the whole and put it on the laptop and im at 40 degrees on my cpu because its rlly cold air lol
BIG BRAIN
Thank you for this review, I've been considering buying a thermal pad for my gaming laptop and I wasn't sure if they were a gimmick or not?
No problem! They seem to help a bit, just not that much but will also greatly depend on the specific laptop. I think for the amount of $ they cost compared to the price of the laptop and the small performance improvement it's worthwhile if you want to run cooler and don't mind the extra space it takes up.
I am simple guy i see jarod's video i hit like
I see a comment I hit reply 😎
@@JarrodsTech Hahaha and that's why we love Jarrod'sTech Channel 😂👍
can I plug it into the wall instead of taking up two usb slots?
yea
My laptop overheats when I play GTA 5 I need something to keep it cool should I get this
Ahhah same
Same. Wtf is even Gta 5 bruhh
try to lift it a bit and if it helps, it will mean that cooling pad could help you
the underside of the aorus x7 has only very small vents, of course this cooler is not effective... the cooler blows on the almost closed plastic bottom... it should be a nice cooling boost for laptops with a well vantilated underside like many MSI laptops and Predator Helios 500, Aorus 15 (RTX series)
Which is why I mentioned that, it was the only laptop I had at the time to make this video, which couldn't wait as it was done for a giveaway.
Nice option for those who have small air intakes is the Notepal u3+ you can put vents at the spot
I love your videos man! Shame you're not so exposed, but keep on making these awesome detailed reviews, you'll beat the competition for sure..
Thanks!
Everyone has to start from somewhere and we may be close to seeing the next big Tech Reviewer.
Aged well
I use one which is good!
It's from Xtreme!😜😜
Nice! I want to get a few more and do some sort of cooler comparison
I didnt even know about these things until this video...... NICE!!
The more you know 😁
Every single sentence ends with this tone of voice, like a final closure effect. Is this an australian thing?
Who knows.
Try Deepcool N9 EX, then put Ice cubes in bottom of it
Thank me later
lol.
laptop pads arent useless like many might they make much sense especially if you using a heavy duty gaming laptop and wanna keep the rest of the components cool i dont think they really were intended to lower rest of components but to keep you pch and other stuff cool that dont get much cooling other than passive
Yeah they can help a bit people just shouldn't expect miracles.
I have a cooling pad that I bought from some Chinese dude for $8. Very noticeable boost in performance on my acer laptop since it sucks air from the bottm then release it on the back, I have a vacuum on the back and the cooling bad helps with the sucking by blowing in cool air. Idk if this $35 thing can top what I currently have.
Nice!
this is a really nice cooling fan. even tho im also using a cooling pad, but I dont see any improvement in my temp or clock speed. so is it that my cooling isnt that good or in general cooling pad arent dont help much?
What temperatures do you have? If you're not thermal throttling I'd at least expect some temperature improvements with more air flow.
i have a coolermaster and ive never seen any thermal improvement. Personally Id say they are close to worthless. I had better thermals in my school library since the AC is so strong.
Im using a Helios 300 i7 144Hz GTX1060, and it thermal throttle a lot when i game on it.
I just got it back from the acer service they were thermal repasting it. since intel XTU and cooling pads did not help.
So i will test it now and see the difference. btw i would i have done it myself but i was afraid of losing the warranty.
killer91B So, is it any better now?
@@FromTheHood oh yes it yes the temperatures are much lower even with overclocking and stressing. now the peak temp is 90C and average high temps are around 85C. at normal use auto fan max 45C.
GPU never been higher than 75C
You have to plug it into the laptop itself? That is so stupid I can't....it should be powered by a wall outlet...a cooling pad is for your DESK/DOCK
I agree, though you could use a wall adapter to USB I suppose, like for a phone charger.
@@JarrodsTech Good thinking, seems the best way
This guy sounds like daily dose of internet with a deeper voice
You have a hearding problem
You got a spelling problem
@@Yesjziis lol touché
I have a weird feeling that fans as exhaust would work a lot more than intake fans. because that's what laptop fans do anyway.
I've found it really depends on the laptop. Something like the Triton 700 or the Alienware 15 that have alot of open air vents on the bottom see some ok drops in temps. But, for me it's more about the better typing angle. Honestly one of these days I'd like to make my own cooling pad using a left over 200mm fan I have from an old pc build.
Yeah it will vary a bit based on the laptop as mentioned, unfortunately I only had two here at the time of testing, I hope to include more laptops and more cooling pads in a future comparison though.
Try typing with a flat keyboard, it's actually much better ergonomically. Typewriters were inclined for mechanical reasons not human reasons.
Lol same CPU temp
🤔
Thanks kong for the giveaways!!!
👍👍👍
Your Wolcom
So it's garbage.
$40 for lights.
WHY NOT MAKE A COOLING PAD THAT USES REFRIGERANT AND A THERMOSTAT?
lol
Honestly think that there is more to be had by undervolting instead of a cooling pad.
Yeah me too especially if you're hitting power limit.
Why not both 😁
can someone help me is it needed to plug it into your laptop because i dont have enough usb plug ins??? and is there a way to not do that pls help?
I'm sure you can plug it to a powerbank
Entered the giveaway, goodluck to everyone who entered!
Good luck 😁
I love it ,I have Asus Republic of Gamers one leptop 17 inch, I have mastercooler xl and I buy another 17 inch Asus Republic of Gamers and i will buy this one .love the video🎉❤
I like to run a regular fan in a smaller size in the left side of my computer(Where is the air outlet) it helps a lot,weather here is a bit cold also like 10-15°C.Very interesting video I believe no one have done this,Keep it up.
Thanks! Good to hear the cooling pad helps you out, I want to test a few more in future!
I made one laptop cooling pad with natural ice cooling systen along with hot air vent extractor
Me be still waiting for a Noctua cooling base.
Hmm would be interesting if they got into that space 🤔
I have one very similar to this one, but mine is higher off the desk, with three fans and the rainbow lights going around it. I find mine does work pretty well, but it can heat up quite a bit while playing my MMORPG.
TLDR 4:30
👌
Like those RGBs. A little improvment is always good, If we need to use 2 USB ports to turn on this cooler... OMG! You're right, the bottom of laptop design will make a big diference when cooling... I always use a cooler like that, is quiet and the overall temperature of my laptop is always good. Thanks for the review, you're the best ;)
No problem, cheers! Yeah depends on the laptop, the one I used could power it with 1 port no problem.
Laptop manufacturers should make coolers specifically for a certain laptop.
They can have a weird looking cooling pad that covers all air vents (including the sides) to suck and blow air out for their respective vents. I'm sure this would increase it much more and cause less dust build up overtime
Yeah that would be nice, it would be tailored to actually perform well with what you've got rather than these one size fits all solutions that have compromises.
This fan is more expensive than other, is it really worth to buy?
sir, i play games while plugging charger and my lappy just gets heated high so will this controll the heat to normal temperature?
Try undervolting
Fliikers what’s that
@@Kaleeb.92 undervolting makes your temperature lower
Fliikers how do I do that
@@Kaleeb.92 use intel xtu
OK first and foremost it's a really cool gimmick, but for me, it does a decent job. It works off one usb port, and it is huge!!! I have a HP 15 bc405nv, i5 8300h, 1050ti, and a HP omen 17 i7 8750h, 1070, on the 15 inch, I get about 3-4 cm of room front and back and 2-3 cm on the sides, on the 17 it's just right on the sides with about 2 cm of room up front and back. Both of these machines have some of the worst cooling systems around, where I would get temps of 80 plus degrees on the package, 70-80 on cpu's and gpu's just by loading a few things like open browsers and tabs, downloading torrents and playing Bioshock infinite at the same time. I am getting temp drops of around 10 degrees for the package and cpus, and around 7-8 degrees for the gpus so I'm more than happy. The best thing is, the centre of the omen keyboard, and the right side keyboard of the 15 are no longer boiling hot plates, they are still warm, but nothing like before. It is a bit on the pricey side, and I don't know how long it will last, just have to wait and see.
Yeah it does work off one USB port so long as that port is capable of providing the power needed. Interestingly other thermaltake cooling pads actually have a sort of passthrough, they use one USB port, but on the back of the plug is another USB port so you could still connect a second device sort of like a hub, better design and more useful I think. Thanks for sharing your experience with it, since making this video I've tested this in at least 10+ of my recent laptop reviews and I can really see that improvement really varies a lot on the specific model of machine I test with.
I like this cooling pad. While the one problem is it is simply too large, especially while I'm using a 15.6" laptop.
Yeah there are smaller ones, I just use a larger one so I know it will work with any big laptops I happen to need to test.
Hahahaha the RGB Make your laptop cooler, in both senses
awesome review great to see the channel boosting! well deserved. was looking to getting something like this but was wondering if it would actually make a difference. specifically for this one i use all usb slots on my X5 V8! so no chance i could use this one
Thanks! Yeah sounds like it could help if you can find one that doesn't rely on USB power, the X5 can get warm on the CPU!
@@JarrodsTech yea im worried about the aussie summer how the laptop will deal haha
and worried about the longevity of it with how hot it gets
@@Thimdog07 Yeah summer here will make for fun temperature testing with the laptop reviews lol, RIP 8750H.
you should've shown a test with just gaming instead of stress testing it. i think with a game, it would've shown a CPU temps go down too along with GPU temps
is this good for my Acer predator helios 300?
It would work fine, though a bit large you could probably get a smaller one designed for a 15" machine.
@@JarrodsTech hey what would you recommend for an msi gs65?
Oh I didn't know I will need to buy. I am brazil have notebook HP gaming has that half life 2 and serious sam 3 very much burning almost 99% CPU. Thank you 👍
Nice vid as always. Keep up the good work. :)
Cheers!
Hi Jarrod, any chance you'd know the barrel size of the power adapter? I've managed to lose mine in a move and can't find details anywhere?
I am honestly not sure, I didn't measure it when I still had this machine, sorry.
@@JarrodsTech Oh sorry I meant for the cooling pad?
Where can you find a 19 inch laptop?
*Acer Predator 21X has entered the chat*
@@JarrodsTech Yeah, but that's a 21 inch curved laptop that hasn't had a real successor since it came out. I want to have larger monitor laptops. It only has dual GTX 1080's in sli. I really hope that CES 2020 brings some really cool stuff.
800rpm speeds? That's it? Is this designed for cooling or looks? Because it's obviously not both. Lol
Looks cool on desk
Yeah looks pretty nice overall 👌
Great vid, am thinking of buying this, but the 2 usb requirements sucks, could you use a splitter on a single port, would it work, or is the power output too small to cope?
It works with 1 USB port in most cases, bit strange though because other thermaltake cooling pads I've gotten since have a passthrough cable, so you can plug in another device into the same cable for the cooling pad, effectively losing no ports. Connecting the cooling pad to wall power with a phone charger that takes USB Type-A is also an option.
@@JarrodsTech Thanx for the quick reply! Just ordered it. If I cant get it to work on 1 port, the phone charger option is great, we've got plenty of those around!
hmmm very little temp decrease, btw Love that aorus x7 :D
Full review coming this weekend for the X7! 😁
I know im late, but will a cooling pad affect the asus tuf fx505? It has a small vent on the bottom so I'm not quite sure.... do you know any solutions ?
I tested it with a cooling pad in my thermal testing video here so you can see the results: th-cam.com/video/RAJkvJjwTcA/w-d-xo.html from memory it helps a little, but yeah limited due to the lack of vents.
Damn bro the rgb increased made my 940mx run like an rtx 2080 super
😎
Why do you always go up then down at the end of the sentence like a robot or californian? It's extremely annoying.
$40 for a very negligible increase in performance? Nah I'm ok.
To be fair it makes a much larger difference with other machines, depends if there is thermal throttling and on the vents on the bottom, I have been using this cooling pad in all subsequent laptop thermal test videos.
@@JarrodsTech IDK I just decided to go with the Amazon basics laptop stand and let the computer use its stock cooling fans. So i'll see how it goes

Any recommendations for cooling pads/stands for Alienware M18?
Uhm, has nobody done a decent review of a cooling pad cooling an all aluminum laptop?
No idea. I'm working on a video with 3 different pads, a generic stand, vacuum coolers with 10 different laptops so maybe that will be more useful.
Jarrod'sTech it’s almost been a year....
@@JarrodsTech and will it be online anytime soon? :)) just saw your comment from 3 months ago on this matter.
Late post but is this recommended for the dell G7 7590 RTX 2080?
I got a acer nitro 5 and it keep heating from 80 celuis to 90 or more celius. Will his work.. pls respond.
Im buying an acer nitro 5 tommorow, does it heat up a lot when gaming?
I will have a thermal testing video for the Nitro 5 coming out in a few days, you will see results of how this cooling pad affects it soon.
U can turn ur fans on the acer nitro 5🤦♂️,it has powerful fans...Go watch a video how to on it.
@@alnuaimi-5874 i did
Juan's Music and it still warms up?
Your voice reminds me of modest pelican
so bottom line it doesnt help at all? i think u should test it with laptops that have more adequate cooling accompanied with right amount of hardware
It is helping, just not by that much, but it will depend on the laptop, I want to do more in depth testing with more cooling pads in the future though.
LinkinPark 4Life dude what are you talking about? did you even watch the video? videocard temps fel by 7 degrees, and it increased CPU clockspeed. It's not as effective as undervolting, but for this particular laptop a cooling pad seems very helpful
Yeah because it was thermal throttling under load due to the 8850H set to 100W TDP, I thought it might be a nice worst case scenario 😛
Jarrod'sTech It is better when you undervolt it, lower temps while keeping the cpi freq. the same.
So umm.. Bought this and it also works with 1 USB only.. What's the point of 2? 🤔
Anybody know if you can power the pad with just one port on a legion 5 gen 7(2022)?
is it better to have 1 big fan like this one, or 4-6 smaller ones (like 80mm) ?
Hello, consider getting a cooling pad for MSI prestige 14/15, is this a good idea?
Jarrod, you need an update video. IETS GT500. Trust me bro.
The larger the fan the lower the rpm will be i have had 5 fans cooling pad. The size of each propeller was 3.5×3.5 inches each and top speed was only around 500-600 rpm but my msi bravo 15 b5DD dual fans rpm was 5600-7000 rpm each
Would this be comfortable sitting in my lap? I use my laptop in my lap the way it's supposed to be but it gets so annoying especially in the summer months.
I don't think so, probably a bit big, and without the feet the bottom fan would probably end up mostly getting blocked anyway.
Excuse me, what is the size of the usb port? Cuz my usb port is missing 😢
Surprised it doesn’t have more conventional features like USB hub, better angle adjustments, powered by micro USB, etc. Whilst RGB looks cool, I think the cooking pad as a quasi docking station is a more useful way of positioning these and it’s how I use my cooler master Ergostand III.
Yeah especially for the price 🤔
Someone please invent an air conditioned rgb laptop cooling pad lmaoo 😂
lol
The early 2020's called. They want their rgb's back.
Why does this need two USB ports if the fan/colors work with one?
My laptop only has 2 usb ports so I cant even use this.... i need my mouse
Cooler master u3 w/ 120mm fans basically make everything else look like cheap trash.
Hmm it does look pretty good, probably too small for this laptop, but I'd prefer a metal one personally.
@@JarrodsTech it is metal and is good for laptops 17.3"+. Depending on how you carry out the modification can be powered externally for greater cfm or via USB with noctua's 5v 120mm fans.
I really need one, but my laptop has only one about 4*4 cm mesh underneath and i dont think this will let too much air to flow inside.
Plus i only have one USB port on the left which i use for my mouse, the other 2 ports are on the right i cant use them cuz they block my hand on the mouse.
I have used some smaller thermaltake cooling pads that have one USB port but also act as a passthrough and you can still plug in a device to the port
50+ fps WHAT THIS IS THE BEST THING DUDE THANK YOU
Ur joking
50 fps is terrible
is it ok for laptop cpu temp to be 90C while gaming ?
Do I needa to have both USB ports plugged in??
6:28 you can always screw the bottom off so it gets airflow
No rgb : 20 fps
With rgb : 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 fps
we need a 1000 $ RGB mouse pad
That will buy a lot of RGB!
Hi Jarrod, it would be very interesting that you show the performance gains in games with cooled-down GPUs. Because why to bother with such an heavy cooler if it doesn't translate in fps gains? Thanks
The thing is, it really depends on the specific laptop. If there's no thermal throttling it won't really affect the performance, this is why I'm working on a new video comparing 10 different laptops with cooling pads.
Hey! Quick question. So I purchased an Inspiron 5680, but on Dell, it says i7-8700 up to 4.6GHz with Intel Trbo Boost Technology, but on Best Buy, it just says intel i7-8700 @ 3.2Ghz. Are they the same? Did Best Buy just not include that or is the dell one better?
You can refer to the Intel spec here: ark.intel.com/products/126686/Intel-Core-i7-8700-Processor-12M-Cache-up-to-4-60-GHz-
It notes 3.2GHz is the base clock and 4.6GHz is the boost clock. Depending on the cooler though, Dell may be limiting it to the TDP value or something which makes boost clock not as high, but you'd have to look into reviews on that and see what performance can actually be had.
I have a alienware 17 r4 is this big enough to fit it ?
Yes
