My Old Chap F. Miscione say Great Value and keeps it cool!.
Picked this up and have been using for 1 week now. A good value, and it is keeping my laptop really cool. I have a fairly large (16" screen) Toshiba I-7 with a 2GB video card. Checked my internal fans , they seem to be ok and cleaned out but my laptop has been overheating. At work I do keep it on the table and there is very little room underneath to breath. It was getting hot to the touch and performance was noticeably suffering. This pad is keeping it so much cooler and it is running like a champ. This pad allows you to lay it flat or tilt up at 4 additional positions for a total of 5 positions. You can control how many fans run and how fast. I just keep them all going at the highest setting, I guess it would be an issue if you are running on battery power, but I almost always have mine plugged in. The measurements seem a little off, so I have included the actual measurements. Note: this pad is not exactly rectangular it has some upper points that actually flair out and that makes the widest width measurement 14.5" and the highest top to bottom measurement 11.75". It was a big deal to me because I wanted to fit this cooling pad in my laptop case, in one of the auxiliary compartments so I wouldn't have to carry it around separate. Luckily it just fit.
My Buddy Corey Turcotte tell us Perfect.
My Lenovo IdeaPad has been over heating lately, so I purchased this cooling pad stand. It works great even on the lowest setting you can feel the air flow. On the highest setting it is like wind blowing. The stand has a few level settings for comfortable typing. The small digital display let's you know it's working and how fast the fasts are running which is a nice feature plus the thing does look pretty cool. I am very happy with it and would recommend it for sure. Great buy. Oh, and btw when I lift the laptop up and feel the bottom it is not hot at all it is actually cool to the touch, so mission accomplished.
I just wanted to update this review. I have owned this unit for a year now and it is still working like the day I bought it. Highly recommended
My Fellow Mike R experience Good Cooler for router, Drops temperature 35’.
I bought this cooler to place under my Asus Aimesh router. I have a lot of WiFi devices and connections and The router usually gets very hot and I need to keep restarting it since connections keep dropping and speeds start to slow down. I have a gigabit connection and speeds tend to go down to about 20mbps until I restart it every night.
I have been using it for about a week and it seems to be having a dramatic difference. I no longer have to keep restarting the router and speed seems to be constant. It appears to lower the temperature of my router about 35’ which in the technological world
Is significant. My only grip is that I cannot turn off the light so it bothers a bit at night.
The Good
+Multiple fans get different angles
+Cools Router down significantly about 35’
+Plugs in to routers USB port for power
+Adjustable speeds
The Bad
-Lights are not adjustable and are always on
-Can hear fans at night
I would recommend this product

My Fellow OneLoudMustang88 said THIS WORKS BETTER THAN ADVERTISED I WOULD GIVE THIS 10 STARS IF ....
THIS WORKS BETTER THAN ADVERTISED
I WOULD GIVE THIS 10 STARS IF I COULD PUT THEM HERE
THE COOLER RUNS COMPLETELY SILENT ON POSITION # 4 , I DO TURN IT UP ON HIGH TO WATCH VIDEO`S , WORKS OK
YOU SEE EVERYTHING MOVING WITH ALL THE FANS ON AND THERE IS NO NOISE AT ALL ON LEVEL 4
THE LAPTOP IS COOL IN TEMPERATURE
IF YOU HAVE A TOSHIBA SATELLITE LIKE MINE WITH THE HEAVY TO THE REAR BATTERY BACK CASE WILL YOU NEED IS A SMALL PIECE OF VELCRO TO KEEP THE FRONT STABLE
GOOD JOB AMAZON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Old Fellow Bjorn say A very good cooler for gaming laptops.
I have tested the product over several days. I have been using an Alienware A15R3 and overclocked it maximum. I have a GTX 1080 video card and have connected a GTX Titan X externally. Otherwise I have all the best options in the laptop. The product managed to keep the laptop cool very a longer period of time. I had it on for a full day and it was still cool. The Cpu had the cores at about 35 to 37 degree C. The internal CPU fan was also running. I had the product with all the fans on and max. The product was quiet. Much quieter than when the laptop used internal fans
My Fellow Old Salt said High Quality, Quiet Fan that Works Excellent!!!.
I was not expecting a fan/support made so well. Previously, I have had two Targus and one other off brand cooling fan. All my fans cost in excess of $40.00 making this fan a cost saving purchase. My Targus crapped out and my laptop actually shut down several times do to an overheated processor. My PC is running i5 and several years old with an SSD. It gets super warm when playing videos or if several applications are opened. My biggest complaint with the Targus was the poor performance. Both models had two fans but the position was not ideal for my Fujitsu laptop. The fans failed to move a lot of air when compared to this new fan. In fact, it is like night and day. I can actually feel the air coming out the sides of the laptop. I also use a monitor that records temp, it's free software HW monitor or something like that. My laptop's temps have been 10 to 25 degrees lower. WOW, all I can say is that had i have not seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed the numbers. Now that my computer is running cool, it is working a whole lot better. I noticed a huge performance degradation when the laptop was hot. It would actually be hot when touching the keys. I should mention that by the air slot on my computer, I have a vacuum fan that sucks air through. Thus, I have cool air entering through the bottom and pulled out through the CPU cooling slot on the side near the AC adaptor's plug. This combination works excellent with the new cooling pad and just did not work well with the Targus cooling pads. I am very pleased and a happy customer. I have only had this for a week so I cannot comment on its reliability, but my computer is on day and night and so is this fan which is set to maximum. I should also mention that there is little to no noise. The side vacuum fan can be loud, but it is difficult to know the fans were on without seeing the blue LEDs. I don't review products for a living and I was not paid to write this nor was I given this product. I am like every buyer out there. I look at all the different models and purchase one that I hope works well. In this case, o am quite happy with my purchase and highly recommend this cooling fan
My Old Chap JSC say Extend gaming/mining without freezing.
It's a nice fit for my 14" MSI GS43VR gaming laptop. When not playing, I use the built-in GTX 1060 for coin mining (over-clocked memory, under-clocked core). It generates a lot of heat and without this unit my laptop does freeze once in a while. With it I can run for days at room temp of 75F and have not had frozen once at fan speed of U3 (max U6).
Based on my eye-level observation, my 14" laptop is slight smaller on this platform, with 1/2in room available on both sides and 3/8in on the back. So I think it's a perfect fit for the modern 15.6" laptops. 17" will likely not be stable enough.
My Buddy Tony A experience Cooled down my 15" MacBook pro Retina.
My 15" MacBook Pro Retina gets super hot and loud while rendering. I was imagining this cooling pad to sound like a tornado but I was pleasantly surprised on how quite it runs, even on high speed. My MacBook now runs cool to the touch and the internal fans hardly kick on anymore.
Another bonus is that I used to constantly have to open my MacBook to clean out the all the dust that gets sucked in over time, now there's no reason for that since the cooling pad is doing most of the work.
Thank you.
Update.............................................
It’s been about two years, if not a bit longer and I’m happy to report that this cooling pad is still going strong.
I did lay electrical tape and used an X-Acto blade to cot around the lights on each side of the display since there’s no way of turning them off, and I didn’t feel like taking it apart to unplug the LEDs.
The lights under the laptop don’t bother me since I can only see them from the back if I have it tilted on it’s own kick stand that’s built in to my lab top case.
This thing runs 24/7, I never shut it off except for when I take it outside to blow out whatever dust has been accumulated.
I took my MacBook apart to see if I needed to clean it out and there was hardly anything.
Before the cooling pad I used to open the MacBook every other month to do some preventive maintenance to help keep the MacBook running as cool as possible.
Now I can easily go a year without having to clean out my MacBook, but even if it didn’t need it, I still clean out since it just makes me feel better, I like talking care of my stuff. I do love that I don’t have to open the laptop every other month anymore.
This cooling pad has been an awesome investment, there’s been some summers were my MacBook would get uncomfortably hot. There were times that I wouldn’t be surprised if my laptop was about to clunky out. I no longer have heat concerns since investing in this product.
By the way, I had this product for about a year before I realized it had pass through USB ports in the back. I have no clue how I missed the USB ports, but they sure come in handy with the limited USB ports on Macs nowadays.
I’d gladly buy another one of this cooling pad if mine gave out.
Thank you
My Old Chap Edward N. Plozai Talk Just get this one..
I researched cooling pads a bit before buying one, I live in Hawaii so its hot, and my computer gets really hot when its crunching in programs. I found a listing of 10 best cooling mats and reviews and this one and one other had the most significant temperature difference for both external and internal cooling. This one showed an 18 degree difference in external temp and 11 internal. The other pad listed showed a bit more, but had numerous reviews for breaking within a month of use. Almost all other mats showed extremely low temp differences in the 2-5 degree range. After using this one heavily for about 3 weeks now it shows no problems and works extremely well. The ability to raise the back up at different angles is far more helpful and welcomed than I thought it would be. I generally always leave it on all 5 fans at maximum speed for the highest cooling effect and it works well, yet is even quieter than expected. Build quality doesn't feel extremely robust or anything, but it is lightweight and doesn't feel too cheap either (definitely at least feels high enough quality for the price range). So far I'm extremely pleased with it and hardly use my laptop without it now. Well worth the $25.
My Old Chap Pablo Marquez tell us Deceptive.
Plugged it in and turned it on full blast and I was shocked that at “2500 rpm” the fans didn’t just belt out air. Started getting a little dubious, turned on mai afterburner and hit up some temp graphs for cpu/gpu temps on my Lenovo Y50-70 and was hitting 85-92C running stress tests and was getting idling temps around 45-48C before it started.
Let it cool down over a few hours with the laptop off and turned this on at full blast (which is surprisingly quiet for 5 fans; you can hear them audibly with nothing on the deck but they are muted nicely once your laptop is actually on it.) let it run for 5 minutes (to simulate “sitting there” conditions like if I just got home from work) and idling temps were at 38-41C. Ran stress tests again and holy crap, even though they can’t lift a piece of paper reliably off the deck, they dropped my temps to 76-79C. One core got to 82C, but all in all, I saw a 10-ish degree difference.
Decided to overclock both cpu and gpu after that, and upping processor from 3.4ghz to 3.6ghz increased temps by 5C under stress (with no over voltage) and gpu clock was raised by 125 and memory clock raised by 325, and likewise I was a 5-7C increase in temps.
The design feels weird because it is a mix of plastic and metal grating, but feels sturdy enough. If you don’t prop it up at least 1 botch, it seems like the air flow isn’t as good. Lights on fans can’t be turned off but decorative lifts on front can be.
All-in-all, I’m extremely satisfied so far. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for extra cooling.
