That's a massive difference in temperature. The foam seal around the bottom of the laptop/top of the cooler is probably the secret sauce to this cooler's phenomenal performance. Cheers Dave.
Fun fact I took my cheap deep cool x6 and surrounded the 2 big fans with a foam tape and now my msi pulse 15 (i7 13620h /4070) is now fresh 😊 for few bucks 😅😅😅😅😅.
The reason this cooler works is specifically because of the gasket. If you have a fan pushing air into a space that is sealed, and the only way to get the air out is to push it through the vents on the laptop, well there you go. With other open coolers, this just blows air at the bottom of the laptop, but doesn't really have air forced through the vents. Couple the gasket with a powerful fan, and you're pushing ludicrous amounts of air through those vents that the built in fans could only dream of.
I like using laptop coolers mostly to keep the back of the laptop raised and secondly for the ergonomics to try and keep the screen at eye level. Anything else beyond that is a bonus! Great review as ever thanks
I like how things discussed in the comments are usually implemented a month later. From what i know the ielts 500 and 600 are the most efficient in this category with 15 to 20 degrees difference. This one is very similar to it.
@@MashITTechnot at all . Most coolers with 2 or 3 fans are mostly uselless in 100 % load scenarios and sometimes hinder airflow. They are good for idle scenarios. The ones with this fan design that simulates a turbine are the ones worthly enough for a xx60 and higher laptop gpu. I am thinking of gifting such a cooler pad to my brother who uses an omen 16 with an 2m hdmi and external monitor.
@@MashITTech the i would advise using the llano , the ielts if you manage to find it in the european market ( i know that it existed 2 months ago in the netherlands and Germany because its a usa mostly model ) and 3 of the most used amazon cooler pads. But the point of the comparison should be the ratio of noise - performance that a human is able to accept.
@@Imikmidget I was playing Ghost of Tsushima with default temps around 86-93 deg. With the cooler, it goes around 60-70 depending on the rpm. I only use around 800-1600 rpm. keeps it cool
This will be an excellent option for any gaming laptop for a cooling pad, ive seen many videos of people using this with great experiences on it, definitely grabbing one in the near future. 😎👍
I picked up an Alienware m15 R4 some time ago and discovered your channel through that review. The laptop has been performing well, but it tends to get quite hot, even with the ThrottleStop tweak. I’ve seen other reviews of this cooler, and it seems great, so winning this prize and trying it out on my laptop would be nice❤
haha yeah, you would need the best noise cancellation headphones on the market at 2800 😂 I am bothered by noise but I do have friends that don't care how loud it is as long as it is cooler. At 800-1000 I found it quite pleasant though whilst gaming
Thank you for all the information. I am very impressed with thus cooler, but you are the only one that actual mentioned, it would indeed fit my 18" laptop! Thank you!!
Thia product looks like the perfect thing i meed but the price is really high i hope i win it because i cant really afford it at the moment. Great vid btw love ur content man
If you have a very good gaming laptop, 80/100 bucks will do a HUGE impact on it's life span, actually it's the cheapest accessory you could get for that function.
just bought one from Amazon for 107.99 i like it so far - paired wit my Alienware M16 R1 32GB RAM 3TB storage and a 4080. Great review and video, keep up the good work
@@MashITTech Razer Blade Pro 17 RZ09-01663E53 (2017) Picked it up last year off of eBay and it has been a space heater. Runs perfectly, but hot, even when just gaming at 1080. Just ordered the non-RGB version of this cooler from Amazon so I hope that the Llano can tame this heat monster.
@@MashITTech Yes! When I got it, the palm rest and the areas to the left and right of the power button (CPU & GPU) would get so hot that you couldn't touch them. I recently replaced the two Gen 3 NVME drives with Gen 4 drives and the palm rest over heating went away.
Just ordered one yesterday for my razer blade 16, for that dust protection if nothing else, though I'm confident it will also have a great cooling effect. What people have been doing with razers on reddit is to cut of a portion of the foam on the very back so that the horizontal exhaust vents are not sealed shut by the foam.
I've stayed away from laptop coolers on my X17R1. This thing actually looks like it would help, cause my CPU always runs at 100c and I have a hard time bringing it down without some serious under volting.
One of my concerns is with the squared foam "O ring" on top. Will it actually cover some of the underside vents on my Alienware X17? :) But, at least it will match my laptop's aesthetic. Thanks for another video I can use.
I was also concerned when I pulled it out of the box, I had never seen a laptop cooler with foam before. Fortunately it works well by sealing the laptop onto the cooler and then ensures the laptop is getting only the cool air being pushed into the air intakes
Just got my first gaming laptop. Usually been a desktop person or a thin and light. But university made me get something more powerful and this looks amazing for helping me keep it cool while playing back in my room :)
No not at all and I did test on the blade 18" the foam does not block the intakes and because it seals it, makes sure the intakes are getting pure cool air. I was a bit worried myself when I first took it out of the box, I had never seen a laptop cooler with foam before
I have been using gaming Laptops for the last ten years and i always used cooling pads just to be sure and also protect the laptop for as long as possible, i tried a lot of different cooling pads so far but i never saw such a huge difference in temperature drops, this looks insane
Thank you friend, subscribed. Additional like for wrigting temperatures for each test like this 9:09 on the right 🙏 First person who did this and it makes difference 100% Good test. If I will win pad, if it’s not too late - want this pad to be gifted and sent to someone in Indonesia (or who really need it in any other country and has hard times getting/buying it). Already ordered it, have a hope that my first delivery from abroad, from Amazon will be successful 😅 and I will be already owner of this hopefully working 😅 awesome device. Really big gratitude to Llano!
Should have also compared this to just a simple rack that lifts the laptop up from the desk. Could also try just removing the bottom plate of the laptop and put it directly onto the cooler lol. Did you also notice a edcrease in fan speed of the laptop fans with the cooler?
I am going to do a follow up video soon with a few more coolers and in that video I will also compare just raising the laptop and also using a stand with out fans at all. And yes, the fans didn't spin up as much on the laptop but with the noise from the cooler you would hardly notice
I purchased an older version of this manufactured laptop cooler, and it looks pretty much like this one, and let me tell you, it really works. It's beautiful and powerful. I love the RGB lighting and extra ports on it. It's my daily driver and the fan is still running like new, and it's been over a year now since I purchased mine. Great review 👏 👌🏾 👍🏾.
I read some comments where they also talked about the ITES G600 correct me if im wrong but i wanted to ask if u make a review for that could u reach out to that company to do another giveaway 😅
Hi I’m a regular viewer of ur channel and brought ALIENWARE X17 r2 and Alienware monitor from ur reviews; I’m very satisfied with them. Also this cooler looks awesome
Love your videos. I've been watching you from 4 years lol and every laptop reviews are always detailed and amazing. Not even linus or mkbhd reviews products in detail.
@@MashITTech I'd love you see the next upcoming videos! I've gained a lot of knowledge about hardware parts of the computer through your channel. It honestly means a lot as my current education is related to hardware parts!
Ah that's interesting, what are you planning to do once you finish the education? And we have been a bit quiet this past week as we have just built a new set at our studio dedicated to gaming PC builds as we want to venture more into that side of video along with the laptop reviews as I miss building the PCs, especially ITX small systems
@@MashITTech I'm doing electronics and communication engineering, so after the education I might probably work for chipset designing as I'm more interested in that. And congrats on your studio! I'm for sure excited to see gaming PC builds in the future from your channel. As I'm also interested in the ITX design part lol
The best cooling pad ever for laptop, im using it few months now, it dramatically helps reduce the temperature and keep ur laptop cool all the time even with heavy gaming. A must have for gaming laptop. 🎉🎉🎉
What laptops would you recommend for £1000 or slightly more? I want to be able to game and video edit and that's about it. It should have a GPU (hopefully Nvidia 40 series), CPU (Ryzen or Intel 14th gen), 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD? I know its a bit ambitious but is there any particular laptop that can be attained for this price point.
They are some incredible temperature drops for long term gaming sessions Dave and just knowing you are coming home to game getting significantly lower temperatures is a ease of mind from this beast of a laptop cooler great informative video Dave and I love the hexagon/honeycomb design at the back of the cooling pad and the ports it offers love anything Alienware Esc.
Thanks mate, yes I was surprised, I have never bothered with a cooler before, I normally just life the rear. I am going to do a follow up video with a few other coolers as lots of people have requested it :)
The point here is when you keep in over a desk. The air doesn't have anywhere to go as the vents gets covered by the desk or table where it's kept. Gaming laptops have fans with 6000-8000rpm. All you need is a stand where there is no middle part. So that when the fan runs. It the air does not get blocked. Like it does when kept on a table or desk.
I've watched a lot of videos on these laptop coolers, and I've come to the conclusion that the Llano V12 and the IETS GT600V2 are the best premium laptop coolers. IETS edges out Llano a bit and has more features: more RGB modes, magnetic foam pad, higher elevation stand etc. but Llano definitely wins in the drip department, it looks so good. Looking forward to buying either one of those for my ROG Strix G16, when their prices drop a bit.
This cooler is a dream cooler. I don't have one and currently desperately need one, but I am unsure if it will arrive safely here in South Africa and have also never ordered off Amazon and am hesitant to spend a lot of money for fear of losing that investment should the package go "missing" at the airport. But, this would be a superb accessory to my laptop which reaches 95 degrees (CPU) and 85 degrees (GPU) respectfully. I really need this amazing Llano cooler!
These are surprisingly good values ind protects the laptop with the filter and also cools the batteries. That would be for but I never win... 😩 I like your channel and test so much. Regards Andy
my only concern about the alienware m18 r1 is the motherboard mounted backwards where the heat pipes are under the keyboard and not under the case...let's see at most I'll return it
I've got an AW M18R1 an this would really help as it really burns...seems like the best fan out there available. Glad it has a lot of adjustments so you can control noise when you need it. I use headphones to game as laptop speakers are for work, not gaming, so fan noise won't bother me at all. Great review!
same laptop, I purchased the cooling base, it arrives next week I'll let you know... I start at 28 degrees at home, it's already summer here, in warzone the gpu goes up to 70 degrees... let's see how this fan behaves and I'll update you
@@chrischassey4849 of course, as soon as it arrives I'll test everything and tell you the results. I wanted to kindly ask which Windows and Nvidia settings you use since I've been experiencing stuttering in warzone lately, I've really tried everything. Thank you
@@gto2084 A picture would be better, not sure if I can put that here. If you have a I9/4090 with 32 RAM as I do then we can do apples to apples settings. Maybe I can email you a picture? I was letting nVidia do the Optimal settings, then I turned down a few of the settings that made little use toward the bottom of the page. Anything that was high to med, or anything that looked not super useful lessened it. It wanted DLAA vs DLSS and it did look better but lower FPS,. With DLSS, no frame gen, it did have higher FPS in the 230s...not that I cared. DLAA does look better and I still get solid 120ish. Anso, do you want to lock it to gsysnc, your monitor? Options for that too. Hate to say it, gonna take some fiddling to get it how you like. I didn't get stuttering anymore like I used to but I do have 2Gig Internet and Wifi6E so that really helps.
I own an old Asus Laptop which could really benefit from some external cooling cause its always thermal throteling, I really hope I win it. I also saw some grat reviews on the Iets gt600. I hope u make a comparision vid.
Impressive help with the heat that is generated. My laptop always runs on the hotter side. This would be a bonus in helping even the worst cooled laptop with airflow.
Would be cool to compare it against my IET GT500 and I know they offer a white variant, so maybe they can give us an option to get a white version of the V12? :)
A few people have mentioned the IET now so I am going to see if I can get hold of it and a few other popular coolers and put them all head to head. And let me ask Llano, I am sure they won't mind which colour they send
I keep my laptop on a laptop stand and keep a fan directly behind the base of the laptop and it cool too, this is my way of cooling 😅 and by the way this cooler is really nice
This is a must-have thing for those who invested a serious amount of eurodollars in a laptop! Thanks for a great review, I will consider purchasing one when the upgrade time comes.
I was looking around of some laptop cooling pads for my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro, cause during summer temps get a bit too high and bumped into this pad. The price is a quite high but for the results I think it's quite reasonable. Thank you for the review!
When I bought my Legion 5P a few years back after watching many videos including yours I think. Being my first full gaming laptop I thought maybe a cooling pad would be a good idea. My thoughts were anything is better than nothing so went with the cheapest option on Amazon, a Trust Ziva model @ about £5 :D I know I'm cheap, so a new one would be a nice upgrade especially as I'm thinking of upgrading the laptop now.
Wouldnt it be great if you could somehow connect this cooler with cpu - gpu temp and increase the rpms on llano automaticaly depending on those temps , just as the interior fans of the laptop do ??
I was thinking about getting a Laptop cooler for my X16 R1, but contemplating whether should i get or not haha. Suddenly when i open TH-cam then saw your video. Nice timing XD
@MashITTech ok update, I bought it cuz ur video convinced me, and also, they have a white version. Since I'm doing full white build with full Alienware setup so I quickly bought it. And the white ones r selling out pretty fast. When I bought it, their stocks only 2 left.
I just ordered the x16 r2 after watching your video! I know you weren’t impressed by it but the aesthetics was too nice to pass on, especially when it’s mostly used for on the go gaming. Worried about the potential heating tho so this would be nice to pair with it!
It wasn't that I wasn't impressed, I was more disappointed. I absolutely loved the x16r1 and the x16r2 is almost identical which is my problem, the CPU is more efficient but not as powerful as previous r1 13th gen. And all the other manufacturers are using better screen options, now there is nothing wrong with the current screen but having a 500 nit version would have been much much better plus maybe a mini LED or OLED option. Either way, I love the x16, I just think Dell have been very very lazy this year. With regards to heat, I think I just got unlucky, hope yours has better thermals
@@MashITTech yea a better screen option would’ve been nice. I like to game in a darker room to began with so screen isn’t too much of an issue with me although having a brighter screen as an option would’ve been nice. And thank you I hope my thermals won’t be an issue
This is an incredible cooling pad. Great review as always! I’m surprised other cooling pads don’t have some of these amazing and honestly necessary features. Would love to have one for my Alienware m17 r5! My laptop does not stay as cool as I want it to with the cooling pad I have.
You were my primary source for getting the gaming laptop that I have right now! I appreciate your videos and have set up my gaming center around the knowledge you share on your videos. Thanks again for making thorough, but understandable videos!
Hi! I've been watching your channel for a couple years now, and since your first Alienware x16 review, I set a goal to save enough money to buy it, and just a couple weeks ago I finally got it on a clearance sale! I'm super happy with my purchase, and thanks to your review on the X16, I've found the perfect laptop for me! The one and only thing that I don't like about the laptop is the fact that the motherboard is inverted, which means in order for me to clean the fans from dust, I will need to completely take apart the motherboard, which is something that I have tried and failed at reassembling it in previous laptops. 😅 I would really appreciate this laptop cooler becuase the foam doesnt allow much dust to get through the fans and hope you would consider it!
Thank you mate and glad you are enjoying the x16! and yes, it is a real shame Dell inverts the motherboard, even I shy away from repasting them and I have been repairing/upgrading laptops for over 20 years!
Very interesting review! Love to see how they compare to having just a normal laptop stand and seeing whether spending the extra £££ for a cooling pad is worth it!
Great video Dave I appreciate the review as I've been using a ~10yr old lap desk and have been looking for a good replacement. The Legion you got looks very similar to the one I got after returning my Alienware x16 r2 after you put out that review. It's the Legion 7 pro with an i9 13900k and 4090. Cheers!
yes, almost the same, mine is the 4080 version so will have the same TDP. I was more than surprised with the difference it makes, it can get quite loud though so I kept it at 800rpm when gaming. I am going to buy a few more top picks from amazon for a follow video as I have had a lot of requests
Sadly whilst they are all obsessed with getting the thinnest gaming laptop crown we are going to have to deal with high temps! I wish manufacturers would offer a slim gaming laptop for the mobile crew and a thick gaming laptop with decent sized fans for the rest of us!!
Amazing review, this device can be so useful for our visual show! we have our laptop running on max fan mode during a hot summer festival, it's hard to keep the laptop cool to run the visuals. This could be a great solution!
Good video! Next month I’ll receive an Alienware m18 r2 that I decided upon thanks to your videos (and a good discount) and I’m certainly wondering if a cooler might help me improve its performance and life span
Hello. How were the temperatures on the Razer Blade 16 & 18? I ask because I have a Razer Blade 15 Advanced 2021 and am curious in how much it may drop the temps. I haven't seen anyone do the laptop cooler test of the IETS or Ilano on the Razer Blades. Thank you!
Been using various laptop coolers and found they keep the base of the laptop cool at least. These days it seems there are ever more fans, the last 2 I got had 6 so to see this one having only a single large fan that is effective is intriguing. I suspect how effective they are will depend on the airflow design of the laptop. My asus strix scar is still hot on top although the base is cool. Also the new Asus Rog G16 is supposed to pull air in from the top and out through the bottom but I don't know if this is true so this cooler won't be suitable for this laptop.
Would it be possible to test out different cooler as well (such as coolers with one fan, 2 fans ....). I believe this would help answer the question and which ones people should buy.
I own both the IETS GT600 and the Llano V12. Both work great, but I prefer the Llano because of its dial speed control. It is louder than the IETS, though, so be forwarned! I keep mine at 800-1000, otherwise it's very noisy.
Yup, at the same RPM, the GT600 is quieter. Too bad you live across the pond from me or I'd be happy to send you it to review! I think I'll use it as my travel cooler. Yes, my laptop bag from Amazon will accommodate it along with my M18r1 and all the other peripherals. Lol! I love my bag!
haha that must be one big laptop bag :) And thanks, that would have been handy if we were not so far apart. To be fair though I don't mind buying a few, they cost nothing compared to the laptops we buy for review!!
Finally, a review on a laptop cooler by someone I trust. Contemplating buying one for my m16r1 as I like to prop it up anyway. Plus, everyone knows that RGB makes it go faster.
After a few requests I have just bought a few more popular coolers from amazon so going to do a round up soon and see which is best if you are not in a rush to buy one
How big is the foam on this particular cooler? I have an IETS gt500 for my asus rog strix g17 but even with jist the outer ring i had to cut away a slight bit of foam so the intakes on the bottom weren't blocked at all on either side. The strix g17 is a pretty big laptop and was thinking the llano might suit it better.
Update: I found a deal on a 2023 Legion Pro 7i gen 8 4080 and have one now lol. If I don’t win giveaway I’m definitely going to order something like it.
for those who bought llano v12 without rgb then fear not just buy a smart rgb with bluetooth led that sync with your phone music then connect it to a power supply. There you go an Ilano V12 with smart RGB.
I got a msi vector gp68hx because of your videos, only problem is its chassis runs a bit hot, but i love the 4080 and QHD Screen, so thanks. Love the videos😊
Thank you mate. Sadly with manufacturers making gaming laptops thinner and thinner this is the result! I love the razer blades but man does those chassis get toasty! I miss the chunky gaming laptops of old with thicker fans, I wish some manufacturers still produced those along side the thin laptops.
Haha even I haven't bought the new models in and I want to test that 18 mini LED! Its hard for me to justify buying them when they are just refreshes of last years model (apart from that screen!)
@MashITTech I understand that. Ive heard from the grapevine that some people have gotten some models that have better performance than the msi titan 18 4090, thats insane
Can someone help me? I'm staying in a dorm and I want to use a laptop while people are sleeping. Do 300-500 rpm sounds make a lot of noise? I don't want to disturb sleeping people
Hi, could you tell me the decibel level with a laptop on top, but running at 300rpm and 800rpm, as you only measured it at 2800rpm. Thanks, it looks great, just curious about noise levels.
Hello bro, I am sure you know how MSI KATANA 17 vent grills look from the bottom, so I think this cooling pad would work very well right? Also another question, mine is brand new laptop, I spent 1.5 grand on it, it comes with cooler boost 5, I am not rich or have alot of money or anything, is it worth for me to spend on this cooling pad, since laptop is brand new?
Would it damage the fans in the laptop because av seen on other videos it may make the laptop fans turn the other way and end up damaging the internal fans completely
my beast of an alienware 18 pulls air thru vents on top in front of the screen and blasts air out the bottom. i dont know if this thing would work for one set up like that ??
Fantastic review. In fact I've watched a ton of your videos this week and the quality of them all is amazing, great work. Would you recommend this cooling pad for the Legion 9i, or would that be a bad idea given the intake on the top of the keyboard? Thanks
Thank you mate. The legion 9i still takes a lot of air through its bottom intakes so it will certainly improve temps though maybe not quite as well as the Legion Pro 7i

Let's hope all the other cooler pad producers start doing this.

@@MashITTech Razer Blade Pro 17 RZ09-01663E53 (2017) Picked it up last year off of eBay and it has been a space heater. Runs perfectly, but hot, even when just gaming at 1080. Just ordered the non-RGB version of this cooler from Amazon so I hope that the Llano can tame this heat monster.

I've stayed away from laptop coolers on my X17R1. This thing actually looks like it would help, cause my CPU always runs at 100c and I have a hard time bringing it down without some serious under volting.
I think this is the best laptop cooler this year. More power to ur channel Sir.
One of my concerns is with the squared foam "O ring" on top. Will it actually cover some of the underside vents on my Alienware X17? :) But, at least it will match my laptop's aesthetic. Thanks for another video I can use.
I was also concerned when I pulled it out of the box, I had never seen a laptop cooler with foam before. Fortunately it works well by sealing the laptop onto the cooler and then ensures the laptop is getting only the cool air being pushed into the air intakes
Just got my first gaming laptop. Usually been a desktop person or a thin and light. But university made me get something more powerful and this looks amazing for helping me keep it cool while playing back in my room :)
Doesn't that foam block intakes on big laptops? (asking for my Alienware M18R1)
No not at all and I did test on the blade 18" the foam does not block the intakes and because it seals it, makes sure the intakes are getting pure cool air. I was a bit worried myself when I first took it out of the box, I had never seen a laptop cooler with foam before
I have been using gaming Laptops for the last ten years and i always used cooling pads just to be sure and also protect the laptop for as long as possible, i tried a lot of different cooling pads so far but i never saw such a huge difference in temperature drops, this looks insane
There should be more tech reviewers like you. Great content!
Thank you mate :)
Thank you friend, subscribed. Additional like for wrigting temperatures for each test like this 9:09 on the right 🙏 First person who did this and it makes difference 100%
Good test. If I will win pad, if it’s not too late - want this pad to be gifted and sent to someone in Indonesia (or who really need it in any other country and has hard times getting/buying it). Already ordered it, have a hope that my first delivery from abroad, from Amazon will be successful 😅 and I will be already owner of this hopefully working 😅 awesome device. Really big gratitude to Llano!
Just ordered the V10 as I have a smaller 14-inch laptop, thanks for the review.
Should have also compared this to just a simple rack that lifts the laptop up from the desk. Could also try just removing the bottom plate of the laptop and put it directly onto the cooler lol. Did you also notice a edcrease in fan speed of the laptop fans with the cooler?
I am going to do a follow up video soon with a few more coolers and in that video I will also compare just raising the laptop and also using a stand with out fans at all. And yes, the fans didn't spin up as much on the laptop but with the noise from the cooler you would hardly notice
I purchased an older version of this manufactured laptop cooler, and it looks pretty much like this one, and let me tell you, it really works.
It's beautiful and powerful.
I love the RGB lighting and extra ports on it. It's my daily driver and the fan is still running like new, and it's been over a year now since I purchased mine.
Great review 👏 👌🏾 👍🏾.
Thanks for sharing :)
I read some comments where they also talked about the ITES G600 correct me if im wrong but i wanted to ask if u make a review for that could u reach out to that company to do another giveaway 😅
I can ask! I did just buy an iets 600 as so many people have requested it. Might give it away myself if postage isn’t too crazy 😂
Hi I’m a regular viewer of ur channel and brought ALIENWARE X17 r2 and Alienware monitor from ur reviews; I’m very satisfied with them. Also this cooler looks awesome
Glad you are enjoying them! And yeah, this cooler has a real Alienware look to it! the rear reminds me of my old area 51m 😃
Lovely kit. I used to use a £3 laptop cooling stand and it never worked, but this looks legit.
any cooler works if the fans spins like 2000 rpm 3000rpm then it starts to show difference
Love your videos. I've been watching you from 4 years lol and every laptop reviews are always detailed and amazing. Not even linus or mkbhd reviews products in detail.
Thank you mate, that means a lot! I has been a massive learning curve but as I love making the videos it is never a chore 😃
@@MashITTech I'd love you see the next upcoming videos! I've gained a lot of knowledge about hardware parts of the computer through your channel. It honestly means a lot as my current education is related to hardware parts!
Ah that's interesting, what are you planning to do once you finish the education? And we have been a bit quiet this past week as we have just built a new set at our studio dedicated to gaming PC builds as we want to venture more into that side of video along with the laptop reviews as I miss building the PCs, especially ITX small systems
@@MashITTech I'm doing electronics and communication engineering, so after the education I might probably work for chipset designing as I'm more interested in that. And congrats on your studio! I'm for sure excited to see gaming PC builds in the future from your channel. As I'm also interested in the ITX design part lol
haha brilliant! well, fingers crossed we should have a video out later next week and I have a ton of ITX cases arriving too 😃
The best cooling pad ever for laptop, im using it few months now, it dramatically helps reduce the temperature and keep ur laptop cool all the time even with heavy gaming. A must have for gaming laptop. 🎉🎉🎉
What laptops would you recommend for £1000 or slightly more? I want to be able to game and video edit and that's about it. It should have a GPU (hopefully Nvidia 40 series), CPU (Ryzen or Intel 14th gen), 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD? I know its a bit ambitious but is there any particular laptop that can be attained for this price point.
They are some incredible temperature drops for long term gaming sessions Dave and just knowing you are coming home to game getting significantly lower temperatures is a ease of mind from this beast of a laptop cooler great informative video Dave and I love the hexagon/honeycomb design at the back of the cooling pad and the ports it offers love anything Alienware Esc.
Thanks mate, yes I was surprised, I have never bothered with a cooler before, I normally just life the rear. I am going to do a follow up video with a few other coolers as lots of people have requested it :)
The point here is when you keep in over a desk. The air doesn't have anywhere to go as the vents gets covered by the desk or table where it's kept.
Gaming laptops have fans with 6000-8000rpm.
All you need is a stand where there is no middle part. So that when the fan runs. It the air does not get blocked.
Like it does when kept on a table or desk.
I've watched a lot of videos on these laptop coolers, and I've come to the conclusion that the Llano V12 and the IETS GT600V2 are the best premium laptop coolers. IETS edges out Llano a bit and has more features: more RGB modes, magnetic foam pad, higher elevation stand etc. but Llano definitely wins in the drip department, it looks so good. Looking forward to buying either one of those for my ROG Strix G16, when their prices drop a bit.
This cooler is a dream cooler. I don't have one and currently desperately need one, but I am unsure if it will arrive safely here in South Africa and have also never ordered off Amazon and am hesitant to spend a lot of money for fear of losing that investment should the package go "missing" at the airport. But, this would be a superb accessory to my laptop which reaches 95 degrees (CPU) and 85 degrees (GPU) respectfully. I really need this amazing Llano cooler!
These are surprisingly good values ind protects the laptop with the filter and also cools the batteries. That would be for but I never win... 😩 I like your channel and test so much. Regards Andy
This seems like a big step up in active cooling for laptops from the traditional design, i wonder what the next gen innovation in this market will be
my only concern about the alienware m18 r1 is the motherboard mounted backwards where the heat pipes are under the keyboard and not under the case...let's see at most I'll return it
It still draws more air in from the bottom than the top so this should give you a nice improvement.
Keep doing this type of video! Love it !
Thank you! Will do!
I've got an AW M18R1 an this would really help as it really burns...seems like the best fan out there available. Glad it has a lot of adjustments so you can control noise when you need it. I use headphones to game as laptop speakers are for work, not gaming, so fan noise won't bother me at all. Great review!
same laptop, I purchased the cooling base, it arrives next week I'll let you know... I start at 28 degrees at home, it's already summer here, in warzone the gpu goes up to 70 degrees... let's see how this fan behaves and I'll update you
I play MW3 as well MP vs WZ. GPU is OK in the 70s, it's the CPU in the high 90s at any load and profile. I9/4090
sorry I didn't have an m18 on hand to test. though it seems like @gto2084 is coming to the rescue!
@@chrischassey4849 of course, as soon as it arrives I'll test everything and tell you the results. I wanted to kindly ask which Windows and Nvidia settings you use since I've been experiencing stuttering in warzone lately, I've really tried everything. Thank you
@@gto2084 A picture would be better, not sure if I can put that here. If you have a I9/4090 with 32 RAM as I do then we can do apples to apples settings. Maybe I can email you a picture? I was letting nVidia do the Optimal settings, then I turned down a few of the settings that made little use toward the bottom of the page. Anything that was high to med, or anything that looked not super useful lessened it. It wanted DLAA vs DLSS and it did look better but lower FPS,. With DLSS, no frame gen, it did have higher FPS in the 230s...not that I cared. DLAA does look better and I still get solid 120ish. Anso, do you want to lock it to gsysnc, your monitor? Options for that too. Hate to say it, gonna take some fiddling to get it how you like. I didn't get stuttering anymore like I used to but I do have 2Gig Internet and Wifi6E so that really helps.
huh, I wonder what's next
putting vacuums by the exhaust vents?
Man, that sounds like a good idea 🤣 you don't have to run it at a high speed and in all honesty I don't even know why they let it go to 2800rpm
I own an old Asus Laptop which could really benefit from some external cooling cause its always thermal throteling, I really hope I win it. I also saw some grat reviews on the Iets gt600. I hope u make a comparision vid.
Yeah Im also hoping on that comparison vid.
Impressive help with the heat that is generated. My laptop always runs on the hotter side. This would be a bonus in helping even the worst cooled laptop with airflow.
Would be cool to compare it against my IET GT500 and I know they offer a white variant, so maybe they can give us an option to get a white version of the V12? :)
A few people have mentioned the IET now so I am going to see if I can get hold of it and a few other popular coolers and put them all head to head. And let me ask Llano, I am sure they won't mind which colour they send
How do you clean your razer blade fans?
I use a small brush and a Hoto air blower/hoover! I am beyond precious of my blade 16 so it gets cleaned a lot 🤣
I keep my laptop on a laptop stand and keep a fan directly behind the base of the laptop and it cool too, this is my way of cooling 😅 and by the way this cooler is really nice
Just bought a Legion Pro 9i and mannnnnnn does it thermal throttle. I wonder how much the temps would go down with this. Would love to try it!
Wow, my legion 9i didn't throttle at all! I wonder if you have a bad paste job?
Thanks for the opportunity to win the laptop cooler. Like your channel very much.
This is a must-have thing for those who invested a serious amount of eurodollars in a laptop! Thanks for a great review, I will consider purchasing one when the upgrade time comes.
I was looking around of some laptop cooling pads for my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro, cause during summer temps get a bit too high and bumped into this pad. The price is a quite high but for the results I think it's quite reasonable. Thank you for the review!
When I bought my Legion 5P a few years back after watching many videos including yours I think.
Being my first full gaming laptop I thought maybe a cooling pad would be a good idea.
My thoughts were anything is better than nothing so went with the cheapest option on Amazon, a Trust Ziva model @ about £5 :D
I know I'm cheap, so a new one would be a nice upgrade especially as I'm thinking of upgrading the laptop now.
Man, this would make my set up run a lot more nice. I live in a pretty dusty place, so a cooling pad like that would be super helpful.
Wouldnt it be great if you could somehow connect this cooler with cpu - gpu temp and increase the rpms on llano automaticaly depending on those temps , just as the interior fans of the laptop do ??
I was thinking about getting a Laptop cooler for my X16 R1, but contemplating whether should i get or not haha. Suddenly when i open TH-cam then saw your video. Nice timing XD
haha I wish I could say I was psychic 😂
@MashITTech ok update, I bought it cuz ur video convinced me, and also, they have a white version. Since I'm doing full white build with full Alienware setup so I quickly bought it. And the white ones r selling out pretty fast. When I bought it, their stocks only 2 left.
Like the design of that air filter for the fan. I have several lap top cooler and the accumulated dust is a pain to clean. This fan is insane...
I just ordered the x16 r2 after watching your video! I know you weren’t impressed by it but the aesthetics was too nice to pass on, especially when it’s mostly used for on the go gaming. Worried about the potential heating tho so this would be nice to pair with it!
It wasn't that I wasn't impressed, I was more disappointed. I absolutely loved the x16r1 and the x16r2 is almost identical which is my problem, the CPU is more efficient but not as powerful as previous r1 13th gen. And all the other manufacturers are using better screen options, now there is nothing wrong with the current screen but having a 500 nit version would have been much much better plus maybe a mini LED or OLED option. Either way, I love the x16, I just think Dell have been very very lazy this year. With regards to heat, I think I just got unlucky, hope yours has better thermals
@@MashITTech yea a better screen option would’ve been nice. I like to game in a darker room to began with so screen isn’t too much of an issue with me although having a brighter screen as an option would’ve been nice. And thank you I hope my thermals won’t be an issue
This is an incredible cooling pad. Great review as always! I’m surprised other cooling pads don’t have some of these amazing and honestly necessary features. Would love to have one for my Alienware m17 r5! My laptop does not stay as cool as I want it to with the cooling pad I have.
You were my primary source for getting the gaming laptop that I have right now! I appreciate your videos and have set up my gaming center around the knowledge you share on your videos. Thanks again for making thorough, but understandable videos!
Thanks for the kind words and glad you find the videos helpful :)
Hi! I've been watching your channel for a couple years now, and since your first Alienware x16 review, I set a goal to save enough money to buy it, and just a couple weeks ago I finally got it on a clearance sale! I'm super happy with my purchase, and thanks to your review on the X16, I've found the perfect laptop for me! The one and only thing that I don't like about the laptop is the fact that the motherboard is inverted, which means in order for me to clean the fans from dust, I will need to completely take apart the motherboard, which is something that I have tried and failed at reassembling it in previous laptops. 😅 I would really appreciate this laptop cooler becuase the foam doesnt allow much dust to get through the fans and hope you would consider it!
Thank you mate and glad you are enjoying the x16! and yes, it is a real shame Dell inverts the motherboard, even I shy away from repasting them and I have been repairing/upgrading laptops for over 20 years!
Very interesting review! Love to see how they compare to having just a normal laptop stand and seeing whether spending the extra £££ for a cooling pad is worth it!
I am going to do a follow up video with the top 5 or so amazon coolers and also just raised or on a stand to find out
@@MashITTech Great idea will be really helpful. Thank you
I’ll gladly put in for a chance to hook someone up with this beauty! Everyone needs this in their life!❤
Great video Dave I appreciate the review as I've been using a ~10yr old lap desk and have been looking for a good replacement. The Legion you got looks very similar to the one I got after returning my Alienware x16 r2 after you put out that review. It's the Legion 7 pro with an i9 13900k and 4090. Cheers!
yes, almost the same, mine is the 4080 version so will have the same TDP. I was more than surprised with the difference it makes, it can get quite loud though so I kept it at 800rpm when gaming. I am going to buy a few more top picks from amazon for a follow video as I have had a lot of requests
I broke down and bought the Alienware m16r2 and it gets a bit toasty on performance mode. Hopefully they'll get back to basics on their cooling.
Sadly whilst they are all obsessed with getting the thinnest gaming laptop crown we are going to have to deal with high temps! I wish manufacturers would offer a slim gaming laptop for the mobile crew and a thick gaming laptop with decent sized fans for the rest of us!!
Amazing review, this device can be so useful for our visual show! we have our laptop running on max fan mode during a hot summer festival, it's hard to keep the laptop cool to run the visuals. This could be a great solution!
Thanks for the review! I just ordered the IET GT626. Any good cooler will help. Obviously some are better than others. Keep up the great work!
Congratulations! I heard it’s great too
Been eyeballing a scar strix 18 and those 95c+ temps make me nervous. Definitely want to invest in one of these.
Good video! Next month I’ll receive an Alienware m18 r2 that I decided upon thanks to your videos (and a good discount) and I’m certainly wondering if a cooler might help me improve its performance and life span
Hello. How were the temperatures on the Razer Blade 16 & 18? I ask because I have a Razer Blade 15 Advanced 2021 and am curious in how much it may drop the temps. I haven't seen anyone do the laptop cooler test of the IETS or Ilano on the Razer Blades. Thank you!
Been using various laptop coolers and found they keep the base of the laptop cool at least. These days it seems there are ever more fans, the last 2 I got had 6 so to see this one having only a single large fan that is effective is intriguing. I suspect how effective they are will depend on the airflow design of the laptop. My asus strix scar is still hot on top although the base is cool.
Also the new Asus Rog G16 is supposed to pull air in from the top and out through the bottom but I don't know if this is true so this cooler won't be suitable for this laptop.
did u do these test using the laptops highest mode like either silent, performance, manual
The 3070 in my Legion 5 Pro ... could really use the laptop cooler... keep up the good work!!!
Thanks mate
Would it be possible to test out different cooler as well (such as coolers with one fan, 2 fans ....). I believe this would help answer the question and which ones people should buy.
Yes! a few people have requested something similar so I am going to buy a few of the top selling models from Amazon and make a head to head 👍
I own both the IETS GT600 and the Llano V12. Both work great, but I prefer the Llano because of its dial speed control. It is louder than the IETS, though, so be forwarned! I keep mine at 800-1000, otherwise it's very noisy.
Ah is the IET quieter? I am tempted to get one and a few other popular coolers in and doing a head to head with them all
...oh, and one other neat thing about the Llano is that the RGB matches the M18r1 perfectly!
Yup, at the same RPM, the GT600 is quieter. Too bad you live across the pond from me or I'd be happy to send you it to review! I think I'll use it as my travel cooler. Yes, my laptop bag from Amazon will accommodate it along with my M18r1 and all the other peripherals. Lol! I love my bag!
haha that must be one big laptop bag :) And thanks, that would have been handy if we were not so far apart. To be fair though I don't mind buying a few, they cost nothing compared to the laptops we buy for review!!
@@MashITTech true! $100 versus $4000 is quite the difference!
I would like to see how that works with an Alienware m18 R1.
sadly I didn't have an m18 on hand when I tested it
Did you note the sound levels while the laptop was on the cooler?
I believe it was about 2db lower but I will confirm when I am in the office tomorrow
@@MashITTech thanks 👍🏽
Finally, a review on a laptop cooler by someone I trust. Contemplating buying one for my m16r1 as I like to prop it up anyway. Plus, everyone knows that RGB makes it go faster.
After a few requests I have just bought a few more popular coolers from amazon so going to do a round up soon and see which is best if you are not in a rush to buy one
@@MashITTech I’m not at all in a hurry. I look forward to your review!
Did you ever use it with a razer Blade? I know Razer had a different method of exhausting heat. Did you see any improvements?
How big is the foam on this particular cooler? I have an IETS gt500 for my asus rog strix g17 but even with jist the outer ring i had to cut away a slight bit of foam so the intakes on the bottom weren't blocked at all on either side. The strix g17 is a pretty big laptop and was thinking the llano might suit it better.
That's a huge difference! I have a Klim Ultimate at the moment but I'm considering switching because my rog strix scar is still burning
I was considering getting this cooler, though the price is hefty, I've seen that it's very helpful with temps compared to other cooling pad brands.
I’ve been looking at the Legion 7i pro Gen 9 4080 or 4090. It’s cool to see that a cooler like this actually makes such a difference! Great review!
Update: I found a deal on a 2023 Legion Pro 7i gen 8 4080 and have one now lol. If I don’t win giveaway I’m definitely going to order something like it.
for those who bought llano v12 without rgb then fear not just buy a smart rgb with bluetooth led that sync with your phone music then connect it to a power supply.
There you go an Ilano V12 with smart RGB.
I got a msi vector gp68hx because of your videos, only problem is its chassis runs a bit hot, but i love the 4080 and QHD Screen, so thanks. Love the videos😊
Thank you mate. Sadly with manufacturers making gaming laptops thinner and thinner this is the result! I love the razer blades but man does those chassis get toasty! I miss the chunky gaming laptops of old with thicker fans, I wish some manufacturers still produced those along side the thin laptops.
@MashITTech agreed, i would love a blade 15 - 18 but i just cant afford them 😔 they look so nice and the new mini led blade just makes me feel so poor
Haha even I haven't bought the new models in and I want to test that 18 mini LED! Its hard for me to justify buying them when they are just refreshes of last years model (apart from that screen!)
@MashITTech I understand that. Ive heard from the grapevine that some people have gotten some models that have better performance than the msi titan 18 4090, thats insane
@MashITTech and if you're giving away any old rtx 3000 series laptops, I wouldn't mind one 😅
Question does forcing air into the unit degrade the laptops internal fans?
No, it is not putting any extra force on your fans so no need to worry there
what is the name of software used to display cpu and gpu temps ? Everybody is using it, but I cant find the name of it
Can someone help me? I'm staying in a dorm and I want to use a laptop while people are sleeping. Do 300-500 rpm sounds make a lot of noise? I don't want to disturb sleeping people
Just broke my cooler, looking for a new one them this video pops up. Thanks for the review
I wish this cooler worked on my razor blade 16 which is didn’t because the vents on the bottom upper right and left side.
Great video! What do you recommend more yoga pro 9i, legion 7i or Alienware M16 R2? Thanks!
the legion 7i would be my favourite followed by the m16r2 if more for gaming than general use over the yoga
Hi, could you tell me the decibel level with a laptop on top, but running at 300rpm and 800rpm, as you only measured it at 2800rpm. Thanks, it looks great, just curious about noise levels.
Hello bro, I am sure you know how MSI KATANA 17 vent grills look from the bottom, so I think this cooling pad would work very well right? Also another question, mine is brand new laptop, I spent 1.5 grand on it, it comes with cooler boost 5, I am not rich or have alot of money or anything, is it worth for me to spend on this cooling pad, since laptop is brand new?
Now, this is what a proper Laptop Coolers
What a nice product to have for Laptop Users like me :D
I have the same 2023 razer blade 16 as yours, I'm wondering if the rear exhaust vents (bottom plate, near the hinge) gets blocked by the memory foam?
Was a little hesitant buying the llano because of this
I need this for my laptop, this'll make a great edition since I tryna to upgrade my laptop
Is there an option for the LEDs to be turned off during operation?
I am pretty sure there is, let me check when I get in the office in the morning
Would it damage the fans in the laptop because av seen on other videos it may make the laptop fans turn the other way and end up damaging the internal fans completely
my beast of an alienware 18 pulls air thru vents on top in front of the screen and blasts air out the bottom. i dont know if this thing would work for one set up like that ??
Fantastic review. In fact I've watched a ton of your videos this week and the quality of them all is amazing, great work.
Would you recommend this cooling pad for the Legion 9i, or would that be a bad idea given the intake on the top of the keyboard? Thanks
Thank you mate. The legion 9i still takes a lot of air through its bottom intakes so it will certainly improve temps though maybe not quite as well as the Legion Pro 7i
@@MashITTech That’s perfect, thank you I really appreciate it. I’ve just picked up the RGB version using one of your Amazon UK links 🙏
