Laptop Cooling Fan For Gaming Computer

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!

This cooling fan is perfect for a 17 laptop. It is super quiet and has an adjustable speed. Two large fans are able to push large amounts of air which enables more cooling power. One of the USB ports connects to the laptop for power source. I love the cool blue LED lights on each of the fan assembly that can be turned on or off.

Although USB 3.0 has been out for a while. I still have 4 printers, a Logitech Unifying Receiver, 1 Laptop Cooling fan, 2 Self-Powered External Hard Drives the list goes on. All in USB 2.0 connection. Have a USB hub where the plugs are all on one side (versus other shapes-circular, square, etc.). It also makes for easy uniformity and labeling of peripherals.

Great drive, laptop runs much faster and more efficiently. In fact, my cooling fan almost never runs any more. Very happy.

I have an older laptop that had the cooling fan running at high speed for long periods when in use. This unit has greatly reduced the fan speed of the laptop and is keeping it cooler to the touch. I will purchase it again. Highly recommended.

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

I use this product for portrait photography and also for product images. The only thing that I would have like to have seen would have been a fan for cooling.

It includes the cooling fan, which is good enough, and the GPU in it. It's the best CPU for the business use!

I use this for my Macbook Pro. I actually find it cools it better than having the laptop on a fan. It's also much more comfortable to work with the computer at eye level. I use an external mouse and keyboard, but the trackpad is still easy to reach for scrolling or swiping. It doesn't bend, the metal is about a quarter inch. The front lip is about 3 inches from the table. I would recommend this to anyone with a laptop, especially with Apple laptops. The aluminum tone is identical to that of the Macbook Pro.

It was really nice to get a free year trial when I bought my gaming laptop. Currently only have it on the computer and my iPad. It's nice being able to use it on multiple devices!
