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. So I bought one of these hoping it will lower it by 10/20c for very demanding games. It's not even the performance aspect that I care about. 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
exactly my thoughts im gonna try to recreate this on my own laptop cooler just get a foam cut it in the shape of my laptop, plug any other holes on the cooler except the fan this might work.
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.
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 🤔🤔🤔
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 😂
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
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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).
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
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.
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
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.
That is a lot of money for something with that much flex with you just pressing touch sensitive buttons. That must be like almost 100 just for the LED lighting.
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.
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 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
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.
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).
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.
I have one of these for $60 and yes it actually works. Keeps my CPU and GPU at about 60-65 Celsius around 1800 rpm (low) at 70%-90% load on both processesors. $60 for longevity is actually pretty good considering laptop temps are regularly at 90c GPU and CPU
Y'all need to start using vacuum fans for laptops. They suck air from the exhaust of your laptop, making a lot more air go through the cooler. Works like a charm, and it's compact for everyday carry.
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.
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.
I remember years ago running iracing on a laptop that had no business running it, using an actual fan on its highest setting with books and cardboard to blow air directly under and into it so it would stop overheating lol
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.
I got a Dell G15 5530 and boy doesn’t she heat up. At one point it was 101c. I spoke to Dell and they said laptops are designed to run hotter due to it compact size. I’ve never had a laptop go over 65c in the past but then it was a gaming laptop etc. it does give fantastic performance still regardless of the heat. What I tried was removing the base of the of the laptop cover, I had a big 190mm spare and put it to use in a diy sink shape like this cooler. The fan was rated for 3600rpm, further testing showed it would only go 3219rpm. So I bought a fan controller from parts and soldered them together so the fan is adjustable. I play DCS and the gpu is a Rtx 4060. Testing and benchmarks showed me I can now go from between 69c to 98c down to 53c maxed out. I’m so chuffed actually. This is a nice cooler. But I built for about £7.
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.
Fresh paste and cleaning out the laptop would also help and be usefull in all use cases not just when it's being used in a docked mode. Also modern laptops tend to be much beter at cooling and use less power to start with.
Yes! I've got the Asus Rog Strix G16, RTX 4080, i9 processor, 2023, and it has 3 internal fans, but when playing The Witcher 3 on ultra ray tracing setting. I get temps between 90 and 95c. I just got the Llano yesterday and tested it out on The Witcher 3 and also BG3. The fan setting even at 800RPM, dropped the temp between 70 and 75c, and if I put the fans on full blast, it went as low as 69c. Which is amazing and I can put my laptop in performance mode without exhausting the laptop internals. I'll Let the Llano do all the work 🙌 it saves an expensive laptop from deteriorating.
That much money just for a fan is insane. And it's not like you're gonna get an insane amount of extra performance, since you probably can't increase clocks and power limits as much as you want.
You probably don't buy this kind of cooler unless you have those 2000 or 3000$ laptop that actually benefits from having really high power limit and want as much cooling as possible. 100$ is nothing when you already spent 2000$.
i got this thing, for me its worth the money. i have been burned by cheap latop coolers before. this one actually makes noticeable difference. i dont run it at full speed, at 300 its good enough to stop my laptop fans running of like a jet engine. i would recommend it if you have a workstation laptop like Lenovo Thinkpad or Dell Precision because it looks like this thing was created for those kind of laptops specifically. it will not only bring the cpu and gpu temp down, even the Nvme SSD's are getting cooled somehow.
I think the problem is the height. I would find it uncomfortable to have my hand, wrist, and arm at an extreme upward angle while typing. Then you have your other hand and arm at a lower position awkwardly beside it while using a mouse. Therefore, this cooling solution would be a no-go for me. In the alternative, I could only see it being useful for me as a cooling solution while using my laptop connected to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Thanks for bringing this cooler to our attention.
I remember i had a cooling pad for my old laptop years ago. It'd get to 100c playing Dota 2 and shut off, that cooling pad and removing the drive bay door were just barely enough to stop it doing that XD
The only way modern laptops will run cold enough is if you do your own custom bottom plastic part design about 2 inches thick at least, stick a proper server grade 100% copper radiators on a thermal glue or ect. And run it with a dozen 15K RPM fans (5 for each side) replasing og fans or a big compressor like those which are used to pupm up tires. And you can plug em into the USB-C PD ports. 60watts will be enough to power at least some. The remaining fans can be powered with a separate wall plug. And you should understand that the laptop loaded with a heavy task can't be quiet. It's just a matter of fact that if a laptop still less noisy than a server room - you still can cool it down. I personally run an electric leaf blower through my laptop each time i turn it on for the entire duration of it running. The down side is that the stock fans blew up because of the airflow this high.
Imagine you have a close case with an exhaust fan in the back. Do you think it will do much good to duct tape another fan to it from the outside? That is essentially what the cooling pads do. The benefit you may experience using one can be recreated using bottle caps as a standup for the rear part of the laptop. That way the fans, usually on below, can breath more freely. That´s all the magic. To truly make a difference in cooling you would be required to re design the airflow with external fans in mind, so they can get access to help ventilate air through hot spots, passive cooling block fins. Which might be doable by cutting the bottom cover... but i´d rather not go that far.
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.
Of course, the thing with a laptop device that plugs into the wall? Everything sitting on your lap, you forget, you grab everything, stand up and move? YEEEETTT ... You've just lost the Platform. 000:00:56 "I just lost the platform." Apollo 12, Charles 'Pete' Conrad.
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.

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.
Tears up pieces of fabric to test the power of the fan...now this is peak RUclips
100% scientific, the ol paper tissue test never fails to demonstrate with perfect accuracy!
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

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
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 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.
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 🤔🤔🤔
😂
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!
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.
My favorite laptop cooler was the lasko 20 inch Box 3 speed fan, worked wonderfully when my laptop started to overheat 🙏
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!
It definitely helped my old 1060 laptop, degrees dropped noticeably!
Awesome :)
£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
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.
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.
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.
Love videos like this. Thermal management is oddly satisfying and interesting
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.
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.
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.
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. 😂
Also own an Gigabyte A5 with same specs, expect the 5600H, a mini microwave
😁
aided by the inability to undervolt, what a shame
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
I was actually looking to buy myself obe of these and timing couldn't have been better!
Thank you for the discount promo 😊❤
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 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 😂😂
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.
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.
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'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".
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.
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.
Very tempted to pick one of these up for video renders to help keep the laptop cool
I was literally watching laptop cooling pads comparison and my favourite youtuber pops right up with his own review
Love your british tea jokes
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).
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
That is a lot of money for something with that much flex with you just pressing touch sensitive buttons. That must be like almost 100 just for the LED lighting.
i was not expecting these numbers at all..... this is impressive
Only Laptops that take advantage of CoolingPads Ive used are Macbook or Razer
Aluminium bottom any plastic or Magnesium dont work or only very poorly
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.
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.
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.
It's very impressive that it actually worked so well
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
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.
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).
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.
It would be great... if it was not £125. Thats insanity for a fan surrounded by plastic. Even if its great and works well.
I have one of these for $60 and yes it actually works. Keeps my CPU and GPU at about 60-65 Celsius around 1800 rpm (low) at 70%-90% load on both processesors.
$60 for longevity is actually pretty good considering laptop temps are regularly at 90c GPU and CPU
Y'all need to start using vacuum fans for laptops. They suck air from the exhaust of your laptop, making a lot more air go through the cooler. Works like a charm, and it's compact for everyday carry.
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.
$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.
Wonder how many people fell for the joke about his room being cooler.
I remember years ago running iracing on a laptop that had no business running it, using an actual fan on its highest setting with books and cardboard to blow air directly under and into it so it would stop overheating lol
basically you turn your laptop into a desktop with this cooler
Nice cooking stove. Is it water resistant? 😂 Kidding.. very good review 👍🏽
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.
I use the Llano V13, and it's been a game changer for my Asus TUF F17. For me, well worth the money.
I got a Dell G15 5530 and boy doesn’t she heat up. At one point it was 101c. I spoke to Dell and they said laptops are designed to run hotter due to it compact size. I’ve never had a laptop go over 65c in the past but then it was a gaming laptop etc. it does give fantastic performance still regardless of the heat. What I tried was removing the base of the of the laptop cover, I had a big 190mm spare and put it to use in a diy sink shape like this cooler. The fan was rated for 3600rpm, further testing showed it would only go 3219rpm. So I bought a fan controller from parts and soldered them together so the fan is adjustable. I play DCS and the gpu is a Rtx 4060. Testing and benchmarks showed me I can now go from between 69c to 98c down to 53c maxed out. I’m so chuffed actually. This is a nice cooler. But I built for about £7.
It looks like a roomba that was put into jail for being bad. Perhaps it vacuumed over some poop or something
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.
Fresh paste and cleaning out the laptop would also help and be usefull in all use cases not just when it's being used in a docked mode. Also modern laptops tend to be much beter at cooling and use less power to start with.
The simple solution to an overheating laptop is a desktop
Good point haha
Yes! I've got the Asus Rog Strix G16, RTX 4080, i9 processor, 2023, and it has 3 internal fans, but when playing The Witcher 3 on ultra ray tracing setting. I get temps between 90 and 95c. I just got the Llano yesterday and tested it out on The Witcher 3 and also BG3. The fan setting even at 800RPM, dropped the temp between 70 and 75c, and if I put the fans on full blast, it went as low as 69c. Which is amazing and I can put my laptop in performance mode without exhausting the laptop internals. I'll Let the Llano do all the work 🙌 it saves an expensive laptop from deteriorating.
Randomcookinginkitched back with another video now today we are comparing portable stoves
Cool product but $130 Is crazyyyy tho
This does what I've always insisted laptop coolers should do: it creates positive pressure instead of just blowing air against the chassis.
That much money just for a fan is insane. And it's not like you're gonna get an insane amount of extra performance, since you probably can't increase clocks and power limits as much as you want.
No, but the laptop might last longer, so if you payed top-currency for some high end machine it might be worth it.
You probably don't buy this kind of cooler unless you have those 2000 or 3000$ laptop that actually benefits from having really high power limit and want as much cooling as possible. 100$ is nothing when you already spent 2000$.
i got this thing, for me its worth the money. i have been burned by cheap latop coolers before. this one actually makes noticeable difference. i dont run it at full speed, at 300 its good enough to stop my laptop fans running of like a jet engine. i would recommend it if you have a workstation laptop like Lenovo Thinkpad or Dell Precision because it looks like this thing was created for those kind of laptops specifically. it will not only bring the cpu and gpu temp down, even the Nvme SSD's are getting cooled somehow.
I thought I had accidentally turned up playback speed for a moment at the beginning of the video lol
I think the problem is the height. I would find it uncomfortable to have my hand, wrist, and arm at an extreme upward angle while typing. Then you have your other hand and arm at a lower position awkwardly beside it while using a mouse. Therefore, this cooling solution would be a no-go for me. In the alternative, I could only see it being useful for me as a cooling solution while using my laptop connected to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Thanks for bringing this cooler to our attention.
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.
How does the cooling performance compare to the cheap
I remember i had a cooling pad for my old laptop years ago. It'd get to 100c playing Dota 2 and shut off, that cooling pad and removing the drive bay door were just barely enough to stop it doing that XD
This is crazy an absolute game changer imo
The only way modern laptops will run cold enough is if you do your own custom bottom plastic part design about 2 inches thick at least, stick a proper server grade 100% copper radiators on a thermal glue or ect. And run it with a dozen 15K RPM fans (5 for each side) replasing og fans or a big compressor like those which are used to pupm up tires. And you can plug em into the USB-C PD ports. 60watts will be enough to power at least some. The remaining fans can be powered with a separate wall plug. And you should understand that the laptop loaded with a heavy task can't be quiet. It's just a matter of fact that if a laptop still less noisy than a server room - you still can cool it down. I personally run an electric leaf blower through my laptop each time i turn it on for the entire duration of it running. The down side is that the stock fans blew up because of the airflow this high.
Imagine you have a close case with an exhaust fan in the back. Do you think it will do much good to duct tape another fan to it from the outside?
That is essentially what the cooling pads do. The benefit you may experience using one can be recreated using bottle caps as a standup for the rear part of the laptop. That way the fans, usually on below, can breath more freely. That´s all the magic.
To truly make a difference in cooling you would be required to re design the airflow with external fans in mind, so they can get access to help ventilate air through hot spots, passive cooling block fins. Which might be doable by cutting the bottom cover... but i´d rather not go that far.
Have you tried the IETS GT laptop cooler, and compare both the cooler? thanks.
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.
Why was he pressing on touch sensitive buttons like they were physical buttons 😂😭
Of course, the thing with a laptop device that plugs into the wall? Everything sitting on your lap, you forget, you grab everything, stand up and move?
YEEEETTT ... You've just lost the Platform.
000:00:56 "I just lost the platform."
Apollo 12, Charles 'Pete' Conrad.
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.
That thing is significantly larger than most laptops.
Yeah it's huge. It won't fix a regular school bag or laptop bag. 🤣
