Is A Cooling Pad Necessary For Gaming Laptop

Fits my new 17.3" laptop, cooling pad, pens, paper and wireless mouse quite well. And the fact it is made of 100% ocean-bound plastics is a plus. I highly recommend!

The Thermaltake Massive 14 Laptop Cooling Pad with Dual LED Fans is absolutely amazing. I literally leave product on 24/7 with my HP Elitebook Pro. This product is silent, does the job extremely effectively and is shockingly affordable. Best purchase of this year!

I use it with a 15 inch MacBook Pro This is a powerful yet quiet laptop cooling pad. Very lightweight. Great features. Really the best I've seen.

I shoot real estate photography and videos, and edit using Premiere Pro. My 17 laptop is fully upgraded, 32 Gig RAM, SSD hard drive, and the processors fan was always kicking in high speed when editing video and running super hot (I have a clean dust-free laptop too). Although Ive not measured the before and after difference in computer speed, that was not my intention for getting the cooling pad -- I was looking to keep my processor cool and happy. Before the cooling pad, the heat blowing out of the right side vent was hot to touch.  But after using this Thermaltake cooling pad, my processors fan has never kicked into high-gear yet, and the processor runs at a consistent normal slower speed. And actually, the cooling pad fan makes my entire work area cooler too (kid you not). Theres an adjustable fan speed scrolling switch on the left side to control the speed of the cooling fans, along with an on/off switch for the blue lights. The USB connection is on the left, but that wasnt an issue for me as my laptop has 2 USBs on left and 2 on the right side. The noise level is nothing to speak of. If I were recording voice using a microphone, I would of course turn off the cooling pad. But even on high speed, the fans are quiet. I have my speed set to just a little above the off position, and it still cools incredibly well. My only complaint are the 2 tabs in the front, to keep a laptop from sliding down, protrude above the level of my laptop so they rub into the bottom of my arms when typing.  If Thermaltake had perhaps installed rubber covers over the tops, or made them slightly lower, that might help (see pic). However, I keep those tabs folded down as my laptop doesnt slide around, so I dont use them anyway. Overall, I would recommend buying this cooling pad, and I cannot imagine why one would need to spend more. Its quiet and keeps your processor cool and happy!

It's a great cheap cooling pad for your laptop, and I like that it has an adjustable stand. It runs off your laptops power so it requires to be plugged into one of your usb slots. It can get kind of loud at a high speed but for the cost it does exactly what it's supposed to do.

This cooling pad provides good air movement to keep the laptop temperatures down and hopefully help extend the life of the unit. A $+ pad top protect a $1,000 laptop is a no-brainer.

I had an issue with my laptop over heating and shutting down. Once I had this cooling pad in place my laptop has not shutdown because of heat.

this laptop cooling pad is very nice, you can control the fan speed and the lights. And the laptop doesn't slip on it

Most effective cooling pad I ever had

The pad came with my gaming laptop as a bundle and couldn't have been more happy that i actually use it! I have a glass coffee table in my living room and thats where it stays so when i have my laptop in there where it usually lives is just perfect.
