Except... his laptop is on a desk. I literally have like a "aluminum laptop stand", at minimum height (which is 5cm off the table at the back.) This creates good airflow than if the laptop were straight on the desk. So I don't know if this is necessary.
@@millanferende6723 I have a stand too .. if you're not doing intensive gaming, then probably not. But I noticed with some games (like bf2042) the CPU temps hit 95c and stay there.. which is incredibly high for sustained temp.

I'm just worried I'm going to destroy my laptop with such temps. I don't even really play bf2042 etc
I can see why this is a highly effective design. It creates a seal around the edge of the laptop and crams air through the vents. The only reason this wouldn't work is if the laptop had a lifting rear hinge and the foam couldn't make a complete seal.
That's how it work. Without the foam seal, it won't be effective because of leaked and wasted potential. The wind would spill over anywhere but not to the laptop where it supposed to go.
That foam looks tacky. You can already see on the bottom right corner where it's damaged 🤣 Thick industrial rubber, like the stuff on the soles of workboots, would have been better at this price point,
even if it does, some people use these with monitors and keyboards since the keyboard is too uncomfy to type on, so you can have it half open or in clamshell mode

I have an older "non-crappy" Laptop Cooler which is a Aluminium Pad with two 120mm fans in it. Which have a high and low setting. On low they are as loud as a laptop and on high to loud. Low Setting drops the temperature about 5-10°C. Putting a Laptop on this Wedge for 2°C. I never use high. The biggest Problem with it is: I can't buy a new one. The Company is no longer on the market. And the heavy Aluminium Design is replaced by crappy ones in the market. Plastik needs to be thicker, which kills the advantage and most Fans are crappier then the old Revoltec fans at this pricepoint.
Entirely depends on the lappy, mine gets cooler just by the tilt of the cooling pad, with the fans off. In contrast, a severly heatsoaked, undercooled lappy will only be cooled by a monstrosity like this or maybe not even by this lol
Having your laptop on a stand with holes is already much better thank keeping it against the desk with no room to breathe. No wonder a pair of good fans makes it even better. The thing is that the majority of laptop cooling pads break very quickly
Most pads provide pretty much the same amount of cooling as just propping the back end of the laptop up on something. But it really depends on how the laptops cooling is designed. A fan that seals well enough to shove large volumes of air right into the case would certainly provide significant cooling.
There are a few factors. For one, these cooling pads assist the original fans in the laptop in pushing air into the bottom of the laptop, creating a higher pressure region and makes the original cooling system more effective. However, if your thermal paste is dried up, or your internal fans and heatsink are covered in dust, a laptop cooler like this is unlikely to help since it only can assist the original cooler and can't really do much to cool the laptop by itself. I do wonder however if using the laptop on this stand with a filtered input makes it better in terms of dust compared to regular unfiltered input on the laptop itself.
I've had junky $10 cooling pads that actually made a reasonable difference in temps (10-15°) but it also depended on the laptop itself. If the laptop has slots on the bottom side for cooling it will make a difference but with a laptop that's completely flat and covered underneath it would do nothing
Thats great, my laptop is already pretty well cooled when its elevated, but im really thinking of getting this now because of stepless fan adjustment. Youre a real champ for testing this out!
Llano is an old western town in Texas. Been a while since I was there last, but I don't remember seeing any RGB laptop coolers grazing out in the pasture 🤔🤔🤔
My old gaming laptop had a habit of overheating. Being a broke teenager and then uni student, I used a cooling rack (like the one you'd use in the kitchen) as a cheap DIY solution. It worked pretty well, dropped the temps by about 10C and stopped it from thermal throttling (although it was still pushing 90C on the CPU)
I got a couple of these to write reviews on as well, and other than the ludicrous sound I was shocked they actually worked pretty well. Not just snake oil for once.
This is probably what my (older) laptop should have. My i5-8250U and MX150 equipped laptop gets so hot when playing games (95C or higher) and even my laptop cooler pad struggle to take the temps down. Wish I could test it and release the results. Nice video btw, thanks!
They definitely work! I was on a laptop for a while that always throttled the GPU and the CPU as they would always hit hit their max temps. I bought one of those that threw air right into the fans and it helped quite a lot! It actually kept both the CPU and GPU from throttling and gave me a nice bump in performance! The only downside was that it was pretty loud. Worth it though in my opinion.
If it gets the job done for better performance, why not? In a desktop setup there are people replacing the stock cpu fan with a 100+ euro AIO that gives better cooling and thus performance.
You can get iets gt500 for cheaper price. This is what I have used for the last 6 months and is great cooler. My CPU temps never get above 75c, and this is max I ever seen after 5+ hours of gaming. I also use ANC headphones, so I barely hear anything outside.
The one saving grace is that heat really kills batteries, so this will likely help keep said battery in good condition for longer- which is pretty important for a $1000+ laptop.
I think it depends on the laptop. Mine doesnt have vents on the bottom, theyre on the top above the keyboard between the screen, so this coolong pad would just blow air at a flat solid plastic bottom and do nothing.
If you haven't tried before, I suggest you try a vacuum cooler too, it works at least for me. My laptop, an ASUS X550IU kept throttling down whenever I play games, the GPU clocked down to 300 MHz per MSI Afterburner without any cooling. With a vacuum cooler, it did also throttled but only came down to 600-700 MHz (from 1.2 GHz iirc). And its cheaper too.
that worked awesome on my old laptop.. i could literally overclock he hell out of the gpu and get way lower temps than without it. but my new laptop has a bunch of exhausts. so my only choice are these pads
Main reason this seems to work so well is because the foam creates seal around bottom so the fan is properly acting as a fan for the laptop inside instead of throwing most of air out the sides before it gets into the laptop. Costs a shit ton for a cooling pad with a foam rectangle on top tho they are making bank lol.
2:12 I dont think you understand thermodynamics. a fan cannot cool a room. it just moves air. it actually makes a room as an entire system slightly warmer because it converts electrical energy into air motion which in turn converts into heat due to friction.
I just got this yesterday after waiting for almost 3 weeks to get it from Amazon. Totally worth the wait. I also have a Gigabyte laptop. I have the G5 KF5 version with a i7-12650h and a 4060. The CPU temps will hit 100℃ when I play fortnite and throttle but with this cooler at 1000 RPM, it dropped down to around 85℃ and rarely going into the 90's.
I owned like 4 different laptop cooling pads but the fan bearing would give away very soon most of the time so they ended up being used as a laptop stand, which is still better than putting the laptop on a flat table. It IS hard to find something that works like the one you featured on the video. :)
I bought a cooling pad for use with my new laptop, but then quickly found out that it only brought the temperatures down a few degrees (and my laptop already has decent cooling) and the RGB was pretty abrasive against my eyes. Love it as a stand, though, actually having the screen on my eye level is incredible for long gaming sessions.
My wife has a Dell with XE graphics. Got her a cooling pad and it helped a lot but it was mainly due to the fans no longer being choked by the sofa cushions. 😂
It looks like something that is normally sold for half the price. When I looked it up I got some weird results. People on reddit call it a copy of an "IETS gt626", yet that isnt available to buy anymore. It seems that this style of laptop cooler hadn't always cost >$100 so be careful about buying it at that price.
Generally speaking the clocks on a gaming laptop are a consequence of the harsh power limit rather than thermals. In my experience you shouldn't expect much thermal throttling with modern gaming laptops unless they're poorly built or caked in dust. That being said Ultrabooks can thermally throttle, it a design feature from devices such as the Macbook air, which are designed more like smartphones. But unfortunately many of those laptops lack the large bottom vents needed for a device like this to be effective. It's a real shame, as awesome as this product is there just aren't too many modern laptops that'd truly benefit from it. The device's that need it can't use it and the devices that can use it usually run well within their thermal limits (90°+ temps are acceptable for gaming laptops its 100°+ where you need to start worrying.). I think most people considering this are either paranoid about the standard running temps of gaming laptops or would be better served by simply cleaning the inside of their laptop.
Cooling pads can work, i made one myself, you take a cheap fan and then you take some books and make two towers that are a little higher than the fan, and you are done, difference between the fan being on vs off is 10Cº or more.
To bad you did not test the scaling at different RPM. Would have loved to see how it scales with lets say every 500RPM increments and also to find its sweet spot in regards of noise vs performance. I know the latter is more subjective, but still. Regardless, great and fun little review. Am glad to see the channel grow.
This is the exact model of laptop cooler I have been circling for months. None of the reviews out there has really convinced me, until this. It's a remarkable laptop cooler, expensive, but from the results, it is totally worth it. I don't mind the loud sound as I usually game with the headphones on.
It's not gonna damage anything: laptop Intakes are almost always centrifuge fans not the standard 'scoopy paddles' fans. There are no perpendicular surfaces for air to interact with on the 'intake' side of the blower
Wow yeah seems laptop cooling pads have indeed came a ways in the last decade. Like you I as well haven’t touched one in about 10 years and the last one I had way back then quite literally did nothing but make noise. This Llano on the other hand looks quite well designed. I mean the numbers speak for themselves. Looking at it as an engineer I already knew by the design that it would very likely do something but my gosh I didn’t expect it to do that much! That kind of performance perfectly justifies the price.
Thinking about snagging one of these for a laptop I got this week. That little thing is LOUD and a big reason that I wanted one (other than gaming on my work breaks) was so that my nephew could use my desktop on a second account.
its been so long since I actually seen anyone use one of these laptop coolers lol. Someone I knew had one (not this exact model ofc) wayyy back in like 09 for his laptop. His unit was pretty powerful for the time, if I remember correctly it was a Samsung Aura model with a 9600M GT. I dont think the cooler ever did anything meaningful cooling wise, but I still remember how bulky it looked.
i got mine for the non-rgb version for less than 70$. recently bought it from ilano official store. works really good, ive seen previews reviews about it, it does get loud if put higher rpm. For intense gaming, around 40%-50% of max speed shud get the work done if you dont stand the loud noise. After few days fan noise wont bother much.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I read somewhere that cooling pad can messed with laptop airflow and cause more dust build up, and it only works if your room temp is equally cool, so using one in place like mine in south east asia might be useless. I only use laptop stand, while not significant I can see the temp drop between 3°-5° C. But after seeing the result from your video, I might try one of these..
If it wasn't for the IETS GT500v2 I own, I absolutely would have picked one of these Llano coolers in white to fit the black/white carbon skin on my Strix G15.
I've had the same cooler master x slim cooling pad now for about a decade. Works great. The thing about a cooling pad is that it has to pull air from the bottom and blow up. Too many pads did the opposite when I was looking at them years ago. It was more about having something that I could put it on and use it in bed at the time as well. I don't use it that often nowadays since I purchased a small saiji bed desk, but when I want to game on the go, it does keep my laptop from getting too loud.
The old usb one you used to use probably primarily gives the laptop the benefit of being raised from the surface to more easily get air, where the cooling device itself doesnt do much (at least the case with the ones I am familiar with).
I have mixed feelings about laptop cooling pads in general. If laptop fans are designed to blow out hot air from the chassis, don't cooling pads conflict with flow, since they pretty much mix the hot exhaust and cold air together?
Good video! It would have been neat to see the differences between a. laptop flat on a surface vs b. laptop on a surface with something to prop up the back, ie just a little wedge to allow more airflow underneath and c. with the cooling pad.

i saw this on amazon and purchased it. What a big difference i noticed on the temps for my laptop. You can also really crank this cooler up but i use it at 1000 rpm with still nice coolling. Also love that it matches the back of my alienware m18
Now i wonder.. will the cheap scammy coolers work better if one adds foam around the perimeter of the laptop? Cus this seems to be the trick to force all the air through the laptop..
Nice one! I found anything that just lifts the laptop works well as then it can get fresh air in. Nice to see how it can boost performance if temp is throttling the cpu or GPU too.
I would have really like to have seen performance metrics along side the temps. Lowering temps usually also increases performance and while performance improvements should be different depending on the laptop and their tdp, it can show one of the most important reasons to get one of these coolers.
Thanks for the video. Do you think ambient room temp would be a worthwhile variable to showcase when testing the efficacy of these laptop cooler pads? This pad is working excellent for me as of now, however during the summer I may have to really blast my air conditioner haha.
Are there modern laptops that run faster, when they are cooler? Like the "new" cpus that always run at the thermal limit? I'm trying to find a reasonable use case. Maybe a powerful laptop in a really hot environment? My laptops only overheated because of dust build up or a damaged cooling system and for both of these cases cleaning and repairing was cheaper than this pad would have been.
I mean these are "cool" but do not really do much since most of the cooling is done by the laptop itself, blasting a tone of air at the laptop does not really help cool it down (since you are not really doing anything at all, infact in some cases it can actually make it worse). The only cooling pads I have seen that actually work well are dedicated ones made specifically for a specific device, where the attachment helps blow air through the laptop in addition to the main fans instead of just firing air at the base of the laptop. These are made for that one device only and often cost a tone of money (and these days are extremely rare to find laptops that have this feature).
In my experience with the (much cheaper) TeckNet cooling pad, most of the benefit came from the extra clearance it created between the laptop and the surface it's placed upon. Having the fans running or not makes little difference. If your laptop regularly overheats, you probably need to clean the air system. To do that, you need to either suck air through the laptop's air intake, or blow through the laptop's air exhaust; essentially reversing the usual air flow direction. This should result in lots of crud coming out of the laptop and it running much cooler afterwards.
So is your T without cooler „free air“ or having the laptop sitting on the desk? If you had it sitting flat on the desk the Temperature of a kicked up laptop as comparison would be interesting
laptop pads kinda work, to be fair i've got one ages ago and the fan is there just to ventilate a bit, but the biggest effect comes from just raising the laptop a lot and giving a lot of fresh air to take in. Also i wonder if its forcing air trough the laptop cooling hence being that effective... that can end up breaking the laptop fans
I mean if your laptop was overheating that quickly there was obviously an issue with the heatsink/fan in the machine like it was clogged with dander. No laptop cooler would help that if you are being fair and honest.
There’s a huge market for laptops in parts of the world that are so hot that even ambient/room temps are too high to run without an issue. This and other cooling pads are really best suited for those environments.
Its does work but its noisy for llao v12, llao release a newer design that funnel air in a chamber that reduces the noise, llao v10. Flydigi BS1 is the quietest for now but your laptop vent must align with their air vent and still form the seal for it to work as intended. Cheap notebook cooling pad don't work as well, its only about -2C reduction while this type of seal air chamber lower it to -10C at least.
I'm not sure if this was tested, or maybe I missed it. Did any of your tests include the laptop on the pad but with it's fan off? Just to see if the increased height off of a surface provides additional cooling?
today i have used some padding tape to create a seal on the edges of my cooling pad sorta like this, that i'm hoping will improve its performance further since the air now HAS to go through the laptop to exit at all. i haven't tested it yet (or before), but i'm hoping it makes a difference
Are the "Without cooling pad" temperature figures from the laptop lying flat on a table, or being held raised up on a stand? The best return on investment in both effort and money with regards to lowering temperatures usually comes from simply raising the laptop a bit from the table, and it should be the standard to which cooling pads are compared. By the way, that cooling pad looks awfully thick, producing an un-ergonomic position of ones arms and hands, and I almost get bruised wrists from just looking at those fold-up plastic arms on the top. Not to mention the violent nausea end secondary embarrassment caused by the RGB clown-puke, but fortunately you said that was optional.
Great video! I ordered this and was curious if the foam was mandatory as it cools good on both with and no foam I have lenovo c740 Yoga 15 inch laptop.
I own this cooler and can testify 300-500 is a great range. 500 for ultra games and 300 for ambient use and your device will stay much cooler. There's even some seepage through the keyboard on my Zephyrus G16 so the digits get cooled as well
Doesn't the strong air coming from the bottom affect the life of the laptop fans with openings at the bottom? Meaning, the strong wind comes and hits them while they are working. Or am I missing something? Otherwise it looks good.
Nice video, the earlier cooling pads with fans were considered sc as if used without fans they used to provide equal or better cooling. Is it possible to do a test where the pad is unplugged?
Exactly, I had a Toshiba Laptop too which over heated, it was Satellite S55B, damn was it a pain, i7 but no gpu, well, I first cleaned it, then changed the thermal paste and in the end, had to go the extreme route and undervolt the CPU by -0.35v and just that undervolt dropped down 10 degrees and other 10 might be thermal paste. So I was at around 75C at the end of it.
I had a satellite laptop on 2011 and that thing was awful; it was stupid heavy and got stupid hot doing absolutely nothing. It also crashed all the time for no good reason. I ended up exchanging it for something else!
how does this compare to the IETS GT500? The design seems awfully similar. I've got the 5000rpm version of the IETS GT500 (and you thought 2800 rpm was loud haha), and I usually use it like that, dropping temps by 20ºC usually.
For a laptop cooler I usually just buy something really cheap that gives my laptop more airflow in the bottom, cause my laptop is old enough it has almost no underneath clearance, even tho the air intake is from the bottom. The dock on this is really sweet tho, especially since its built right into the cooler.
Let me introduce you to me budget laptop cooling set up. So, you get two bottle caps of the same vertical size and put them on the back rubber legs. In my case helps cool enough for it not to throttle at full load. PS the higher the lift up the better the results.
well the $110 version seems to also function as a USB hub, and comes with a pretty large mousepad as well (at least on Amazon in the US at the time of writing). it’s definitely still a steep price for what it is, but i generally think that if it’s well built and can serve the purpose well, and has some things bundled in that make is a more reasonable buy, then it could be worth it. combined with the coupon from this video it’s around $88, so it definitely hovers into that reasonable criteria.
You used to use one with a very hot *Toshiba laptop from about a decade ago?* Seems somewhat familiar of a situation to me! Wonder what specific toshiba it was...
Most people's laptop cooling problems result from dust getting in and clogging up the fins of the internal cooler. So these heat pads are just a crutch to avoid fixing the actual problem. Often you can just blow some compressed air through the exhaust vent to push it back out and break it up.
Pretty expensive for just a fan with an effective shape/design What if, the intake vent is at the top middle of the backplate? Would it still work? (Not a vent that extrnd completely across btw, pretty small)

Fun fact, the Irish drink more tea per capita than the British
It was more of a statement of fact than it was a joke. 😆
yep, me too
I have a Razer Blade laptop with a i9/3080ti. It gets hot!
I bought this per your recommendation and...it works!
Thank you so very much.
Also have a Razer Blade, how has it been for you?
Do you gain performance with gaming? Like more fps or better framerates?
@@superbn0va lowering temp alone could makes your laptop last long.
and ofc usually if your laptop reach 90-100 deg it will lagging.
You can't decrease the temperature in you room with a fan btw, unless it's taking cooler air from somewhere else and blowing it into the room.
Air movement can however cause a percieved drop in room temperature.
@@KiraSlith that's as long as the air isn't warmer than your body.
@your_average_cultured_dude you're not getting any temps above 30 degrees c in the UK so I'm sure it's fine
@@fjjwfp7819wait till summer
Bro its just a joke
As a PC enthusiast in Florida these are a must 😂
Excellent review as always Steve! Cheers from across the pond as they say 🤘💯
Thanks for watching :)
I've had junky $10 cooling pads that actually made a reasonable difference in temps (10-15°) but it also depended on the laptop itself. If the laptop has slots on the bottom side for cooling it will make a difference but with a laptop that's completely flat and covered underneath it would do nothing
And he mentioned that.
Thats great, my laptop is already pretty well cooled when its elevated, but im really thinking of getting this now because of stepless fan adjustment. Youre a real champ for testing this out!
Llano is an old western town in Texas. Been a while since I was there last, but I don't remember seeing any RGB laptop coolers grazing out in the pasture 🤔🤔🤔
😂
My favorite laptop cooler was the lasko 20 inch Box 3 speed fan, worked wonderfully when my laptop started to overheat 🙏
My old gaming laptop had a habit of overheating. Being a broke teenager and then uni student, I used a cooling rack (like the one you'd use in the kitchen) as a cheap DIY solution. It worked pretty well, dropped the temps by about 10C and stopped it from thermal throttling (although it was still pushing 90C on the CPU)
I got a couple of these to write reviews on as well, and other than the ludicrous sound I was shocked they actually worked pretty well. Not just snake oil for once.
This is probably what my (older) laptop should have. My i5-8250U and MX150 equipped laptop gets so hot when playing games (95C or higher) and even my laptop cooler pad struggle to take the temps down. Wish I could test it and release the results. Nice video btw, thanks!
They definitely work! I was on a laptop for a while that always throttled the GPU and the CPU as they would always hit hit their max temps. I bought one of those that threw air right into the fans and it helped quite a lot! It actually kept both the CPU and GPU from throttling and gave me a nice bump in performance! The only downside was that it was pretty loud. Worth it though in my opinion.
£130 for a cooling pad, they are having a laugh!
If it gets the job done for better performance, why not?
In a desktop setup there are people replacing the stock cpu fan with a 100+ euro AIO that gives better cooling and thus performance.
You can get iets gt500 for cheaper price. This is what I have used for the last 6 months and is great cooler. My CPU temps never get above 75c, and this is max I ever seen after 5+ hours of gaming. I also use ANC headphones, so I barely hear anything outside.
The one saving grace is that heat really kills batteries, so this will likely help keep said battery in good condition for longer- which is pretty important for a $1000+ laptop.
@@algatronalgirdasExcept the IETS 500 sounds like a vacuum cleaner with ear bleeding pitches.
@stardomplays1386 I have anc headphones so the noise of the cooler doesn't make any difference for me
Love videos like this. Thermal management is oddly satisfying and interesting
I think it depends on the laptop. Mine doesnt have vents on the bottom, theyre on the top above the keyboard between the screen, so this coolong pad would just blow air at a flat solid plastic bottom and do nothing.
I was actually looking to buy myself obe of these and timing couldn't have been better!
Thank you for the discount promo 😊❤
If you haven't tried before, I suggest you try a vacuum cooler too, it works at least for me. My laptop, an ASUS X550IU kept throttling down whenever I play games, the GPU clocked down to 300 MHz per MSI Afterburner without any cooling. With a vacuum cooler, it did also throttled but only came down to 600-700 MHz (from 1.2 GHz iirc). And its cheaper too.
that worked awesome on my old laptop.. i could literally overclock he hell out of the gpu and get way lower temps than without it. but my new laptop has a bunch of exhausts. so my only choice are these pads
Main reason this seems to work so well is because the foam creates seal around bottom so the fan is properly acting as a fan for the laptop inside instead of throwing most of air out the sides before it gets into the laptop. Costs a shit ton for a cooling pad with a foam rectangle on top tho they are making bank lol.
It definitely helped my old 1060 laptop, degrees dropped noticeably!
Awesome :)
2:12 I dont think you understand thermodynamics. a fan cannot cool a room. it just moves air. it actually makes a room as an entire system slightly warmer because it converts electrical energy into air motion which in turn converts into heat due to friction.
I just got this yesterday after waiting for almost 3 weeks to get it from Amazon. Totally worth the wait.
I also have a Gigabyte laptop. I have the G5 KF5 version with a i7-12650h and a 4060. The CPU temps will hit 100℃ when I play fortnite and throttle but with this cooler at 1000 RPM, it dropped down to around 85℃ and rarely going into the 90's.
Also own an Gigabyte A5 with same specs, expect the 5600H, a mini microwave
😁
aided by the inability to undervolt, what a shame
I owned like 4 different laptop cooling pads but the fan bearing would give away very soon most of the time so they ended up being used as a laptop stand, which is still better than putting the laptop on a flat table. It IS hard to find something that works like the one you featured on the video. :)
I've had the same issue, fans start behaving oddly first by making silly rattling noises.
I made one myself, found pad with a broken fan, replaced the no-brand fan with a 140mm one. did wonders to the temps of my old laptop
I bought a cooling pad for use with my new laptop, but then quickly found out that it only brought the temperatures down a few degrees (and my laptop already has decent cooling) and the RGB was pretty abrasive against my eyes. Love it as a stand, though, actually having the screen on my eye level is incredible for long gaming sessions.
I wonder if a cheap laptop coolers performance could be improved just by sealing the output side with a couple of bucks of foam strip.
My wife has a Dell with XE graphics. Got her a cooling pad and it helped a lot but it was mainly due to the fans no longer being choked by the sofa cushions. 😂
It looks like something that is normally sold for half the price. When I looked it up I got some weird results. People on reddit call it a copy of an "IETS gt626", yet that isnt available to buy anymore. It seems that this style of laptop cooler hadn't always cost >$100 so be careful about buying it at that price.
In my country the IETS GT626 actually has similar price to this so this wouldn't be an option anymore.
Interesting! Did you get higher clocks on the GPU/CPU with the cooler temps?
Not in this case but I bet you would with an even hotter and throttling machine
Generally speaking the clocks on a gaming laptop are a consequence of the harsh power limit rather than thermals.
In my experience you shouldn't expect much thermal throttling with modern gaming laptops unless they're poorly built or caked in dust.
That being said Ultrabooks can thermally throttle, it a design feature from devices such as the Macbook air, which are designed more like smartphones.
But unfortunately many of those laptops lack the large bottom vents needed for a device like this to be effective.
It's a real shame, as awesome as this product is there just aren't too many modern laptops that'd truly benefit from it.
The device's that need it can't use it and the devices that can use it usually run well within their thermal limits (90°+ temps are acceptable for gaming laptops its 100°+ where you need to start worrying.).
I think most people considering this are either paranoid about the standard running temps of gaming laptops or would be better served by simply cleaning the inside of their laptop.
This is definitely something else than the crummy cooling pad I used as a kid which sucked air away from the bottom of the laptop lol
That cooling wanna kill your laptop 😂😂
2:20 i think you are being a bit misleading saying it cools a room and can be used as an air conditioner. Its just a fan afterall.
A 30C drop is impressive! Was there any increase in game performance?
I would assume only if the gpu/cpu was thermal throttling to begin with. Check the temps and decide for yourself.
Cooling pads can work, i made one myself, you take a cheap fan and then you take some books and make two towers that are a little higher than the fan, and you are done, difference between the fan being on vs off is 10Cº or more.
To bad you did not test the scaling at different RPM. Would have loved to see how it scales with lets say every 500RPM increments and also to find its sweet spot in regards of noise vs performance. I know the latter is more subjective, but still. Regardless, great and fun little review. Am glad to see the channel grow.
How does the cooling performance compare to the cheap
This is the exact model of laptop cooler I have been circling for months. None of the reviews out there has really convinced me, until this. It's a remarkable laptop cooler, expensive, but from the results, it is totally worth it. I don't mind the loud sound as I usually game with the headphones on.
Have you tried the IETS GT laptop cooler, and compare both the cooler? thanks.
I was literally watching laptop cooling pads comparison and my favourite youtuber pops right up with his own review
Love your british tea jokes
It's not gonna damage anything:
laptop Intakes are almost always centrifuge fans not the standard 'scoopy paddles' fans.
There are no perpendicular surfaces for air to interact with on the 'intake' side of the blower
Wow yeah seems laptop cooling pads have indeed came a ways in the last decade. Like you I as well haven’t touched one in about 10 years and the last one I had way back then quite literally did nothing but make noise. This Llano on the other hand looks quite well designed. I mean the numbers speak for themselves. Looking at it as an engineer I already knew by the design that it would very likely do something but my gosh I didn’t expect it to do that much! That kind of performance perfectly justifies the price.
Thinking about snagging one of these for a laptop I got this week. That little thing is LOUD and a big reason that I wanted one (other than gaming on my work breaks) was so that my nephew could use my desktop on a second account.
its been so long since I actually seen anyone use one of these laptop coolers lol. Someone I knew had one (not this exact model ofc) wayyy back in like 09 for his laptop. His unit was pretty powerful for the time, if I remember correctly it was a Samsung Aura model with a 9600M GT. I dont think the cooler ever did anything meaningful cooling wise, but I still remember how bulky it looked.
i got mine for the non-rgb version for less than 70$. recently bought it from ilano official store. works really good, ive seen previews reviews about it, it does get loud if put higher rpm. For intense gaming, around 40%-50% of max speed shud get the work done if you dont stand the loud noise. After few days fan noise wont bother much.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I read somewhere that cooling pad can messed with laptop airflow and cause more dust build up, and it only works if your room temp is equally cool, so using one in place like mine in south east asia might be useless. I only use laptop stand, while not significant I can see the temp drop between 3°-5° C. But after seeing the result from your video, I might try one of these..
Very tempted to pick one of these up for video renders to help keep the laptop cool
I'm glad to see this sort of Hardware has evolved from "not worth the plastic it's been moulded off" to "actually does what it's supposed to do".
If it wasn't for the IETS GT500v2 I own, I absolutely would have picked one of these Llano coolers in white to fit the black/white carbon skin on my Strix G15.
I've had the same cooler master x slim cooling pad now for about a decade. Works great. The thing about a cooling pad is that it has to pull air from the bottom and blow up. Too many pads did the opposite when I was looking at them years ago. It was more about having something that I could put it on and use it in bed at the time as well. I don't use it that often nowadays since I purchased a small saiji bed desk, but when I want to game on the go, it does keep my laptop from getting too loud.
The old usb one you used to use probably primarily gives the laptop the benefit of being raised from the surface to more easily get air, where the cooling device itself doesnt do much (at least the case with the ones I am familiar with).
My only concern is that the pressure from the laptop cooler fans might over-speed the laptop's own fans, causing issues and wear?
I have mixed feelings about laptop cooling pads in general. If laptop fans are designed to blow out hot air from the chassis, don't cooling pads conflict with flow, since they pretty much mix the hot exhaust and cold air together?
Good video! It would have been neat to see the differences between a. laptop flat on a surface vs b. laptop on a surface with something to prop up the back, ie just a little wedge to allow more airflow underneath and c. with the cooling pad.
Super happy you are getting review samples now!!! I have been with you since the beginning! I use to buy intel pre-built pics and mod them for bigger psus and graphics cards..I would add rgb and optimize the systems for the hardware..you helped me alot! I am super grateful 🙏 for your Chanel and wish you all the luck and wealth!! Give it a few years and you will have your own office space with tons of hardware to test! I would buy stock in you if I could! You make the best videos possible with what you have and I have always loved your personality dedication and charisma!!❤.. your an awesome influence on new pc builders and pc enthusiasts looking for advise or budget friendly options for the best gaming experience.. and for that I will always stay tuned for your next video!! I will be picking up this cooler for my aero 16 xe4! Lm just don't get me the Temps I want!! Glad you reviewed this product!! Was looking for a decent one and this is it!!!
i was not expecting these numbers at all..... this is impressive
i saw this on amazon and purchased it. What a big difference i noticed on the temps for my laptop. You can also really crank this cooler up but i use it at 1000 rpm with still nice coolling. Also love that it matches the back of my alienware m18
Now i wonder.. will the cheap scammy coolers work better if one adds foam around the perimeter of the laptop? Cus this seems to be the trick to force all the air through the laptop..
Nice one! I found anything that just lifts the laptop works well as then it can get fresh air in. Nice to see how it can boost performance if temp is throttling the cpu or GPU too.
Randomcookinginkitched back with another video now today we are comparing portable stoves
I would have really like to have seen performance metrics along side the temps. Lowering temps usually also increases performance and while performance improvements should be different depending on the laptop and their tdp, it can show one of the most important reasons to get one of these coolers.
Thanks for the video. Do you think ambient room temp would be a worthwhile variable to showcase when testing the efficacy of these laptop cooler pads? This pad is working excellent for me as of now, however during the summer I may have to really blast my air conditioner haha.
Are there modern laptops that run faster, when they are cooler? Like the "new" cpus that always run at the thermal limit? I'm trying to find a reasonable use case. Maybe a powerful laptop in a really hot environment? My laptops only overheated because of dust build up or a damaged cooling system and for both of these cases cleaning and repairing was cheaper than this pad would have been.
It's very impressive that it actually worked so well
I mean these are "cool" but do not really do much since most of the cooling is done by the laptop itself, blasting a tone of air at the laptop does not really help cool it down (since you are not really doing anything at all, infact in some cases it can actually make it worse).
The only cooling pads I have seen that actually work well are dedicated ones made specifically for a specific device, where the attachment helps blow air through the laptop in addition to the main fans instead of just firing air at the base of the laptop. These are made for that one device only and often cost a tone of money (and these days are extremely rare to find laptops that have this feature).
In my experience with the (much cheaper) TeckNet cooling pad, most of the benefit came from the extra clearance it created between the laptop and the surface it's placed upon. Having the fans running or not makes little difference.
If your laptop regularly overheats, you probably need to clean the air system. To do that, you need to either suck air through the laptop's air intake, or blow through the laptop's air exhaust; essentially reversing the usual air flow direction. This should result in lots of crud coming out of the laptop and it running much cooler afterwards.
I'd like a comparison to just laying it vents up (maybe adding a little usb fan for 5 bucks😅)
So is your T without cooler „free air“ or having the laptop sitting on the desk? If you had it sitting flat on the desk the Temperature of a kicked up laptop as comparison would be interesting
laptop pads kinda work, to be fair i've got one ages ago and the fan is there just to ventilate a bit, but the biggest effect comes from just raising the laptop a lot and giving a lot of fresh air to take in. Also i wonder if its forcing air trough the laptop cooling hence being that effective... that can end up breaking the laptop fans
Yeah I think that elevation is really important too
I mean if your laptop was overheating that quickly there was obviously an issue with the heatsink/fan in the machine like it was clogged with dander. No laptop cooler would help that if you are being fair and honest.
There’s a huge market for laptops in parts of the world that are so hot that even ambient/room temps are too high to run without an issue. This and other cooling pads are really best suited for those environments.
Its does work but its noisy for llao v12, llao release a newer design that funnel air in a chamber that reduces the noise, llao v10. Flydigi BS1 is the quietest for now but your laptop vent must align with their air vent and still form the seal for it to work as intended. Cheap notebook cooling pad don't work as well, its only about -2C reduction while this type of seal air chamber lower it to -10C at least.
I'm not sure if this was tested, or maybe I missed it. Did any of your tests include the laptop on the pad but with it's fan off? Just to see if the increased height off of a surface provides additional cooling?
Aw, I noticed a PS3 Super Slim in the background, did the old FAT model PS3 that you used to have die?
today i have used some padding tape to create a seal on the edges of my cooling pad sorta like this, that i'm hoping will improve its performance further since the air now HAS to go through the laptop to exit at all. i haven't tested it yet (or before), but i'm hoping it makes a difference
Are the "Without cooling pad" temperature figures from the laptop lying flat on a table, or being held raised up on a stand? The best return on investment in both effort and money with regards to lowering temperatures usually comes from simply raising the laptop a bit from the table, and it should be the standard to which cooling pads are compared.
By the way, that cooling pad looks awfully thick, producing an un-ergonomic position of ones arms and hands, and I almost get bruised wrists from just looking at those fold-up plastic arms on the top. Not to mention the violent nausea end secondary embarrassment caused by the RGB clown-puke, but fortunately you said that was optional.
Great video! I ordered this and was curious if the foam was mandatory as it cools good on both with and no foam I have lenovo c740 Yoga 15 inch laptop.
I own this cooler and can testify 300-500 is a great range. 500 for ultra games and 300 for ambient use and your device will stay much cooler. There's even some seepage through the keyboard on my Zephyrus G16 so the digits get cooled as well
Doesn't the strong air coming from the bottom affect the life of the laptop fans with openings at the bottom? Meaning, the strong wind comes and hits them while they are working. Or am I missing something?
Otherwise it looks good.
Nice video, the earlier cooling pads with fans were considered sc as if used without fans they used to provide equal or better cooling. Is it possible to do a test where the pad is unplugged?
This was really interesting and would have been a god send 10 years ago. Thank u for this video.
It looks like a roomba that was put into jail for being bad. Perhaps it vacuumed over some poop or something
Exactly, I had a Toshiba Laptop too which over heated, it was Satellite S55B, damn was it a pain, i7 but no gpu, well, I first cleaned it, then changed the thermal paste and in the end, had to go the extreme route and undervolt the CPU by -0.35v and just that undervolt dropped down 10 degrees and other 10 might be thermal paste. So I was at around 75C at the end of it.
I had a satellite laptop on 2011 and that thing was awful; it was stupid heavy and got stupid hot doing absolutely nothing. It also crashed all the time for no good reason. I ended up exchanging it for something else!
@@starsINSPACE i played GTA 5 on mine at 720p lowest with 15-20fps, god awful man
Interesting design, neat gasket idea. But doesn't the bottom act as intake?
how does this compare to the IETS GT500? The design seems awfully similar. I've got the 5000rpm version of the IETS GT500 (and you thought 2800 rpm was loud haha), and I usually use it like that, dropping temps by 20ºC usually.
For a laptop cooler I usually just buy something really cheap that gives my laptop more airflow in the bottom, cause my laptop is old enough it has almost no underneath clearance, even tho the air intake is from the bottom. The dock on this is really sweet tho, especially since its built right into the cooler.
Let me introduce you to me budget laptop cooling set up. So, you get two bottle caps of the same vertical size and put them on the back rubber legs. In my case helps cool enough for it not to throttle at full load.
PS the higher the lift up the better the results.
$110 USD!?! They are crazy. I got one that works perfectly well for $20 years back from a different Chinese seller.
well the $110 version seems to also function as a USB hub, and comes with a pretty large mousepad as well (at least on Amazon in the US at the time of writing). it’s definitely still a steep price for what it is, but i generally think that if it’s well built and can serve the purpose well, and has some things bundled in that make is a more reasonable buy, then it could be worth it. combined with the coupon from this video it’s around $88, so it definitely hovers into that reasonable criteria.
You used to use one with a very hot *Toshiba laptop from about a decade ago?*
Seems somewhat familiar of a situation to me!
Wonder what specific toshiba it was...
1:46 loved that demonstration 🤩
Most people's laptop cooling problems result from dust getting in and clogging up the fins of the internal cooler. So these heat pads are just a crutch to avoid fixing the actual problem. Often you can just blow some compressed air through the exhaust vent to push it back out and break it up.
This is crazy an absolute game changer imo
2:21 Lol theres no way that small fan made your room feel cooler🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you a lot for the review. Have the same Gigabyte laptop as well.
Pretty expensive for just a fan with an effective shape/design
What if, the intake vent is at the top middle of the backplate? Would it still work? (Not a vent that extrnd completely across btw, pretty small)
Intake vent on the laptop I mean*
