Are Laptop Coolers Worth It? The Ultimate Laptop Cooling Pad Guide 2024! (20 Coolers Tested)
Are laptop coolers worth it? Well I set out to find out if in fact the added cost of anywhere from $12-$110 ever makes sense for adding a laptop cooling pad to your setup. To do this I took 20 of amazons best selling laptop cooling pads and pinned them head to head to see what laptop cooling solutions actually were worth the added cost, by testing them across three different tiered laptops. An older Asus Gl552, set to represent lower power draw systems and older side ventilation laptops, a new HP Victus 15, which represents newer midrange laptops and finally Asus’s Strix G16, which is representing the high end of the laptop market. After testing all of the coolers on each laptop, we found that by far the best options out there come from the Llano Laptop Cooling Pad, and the IETS GT500V2. We hope you enjoyed this video and if you would like us to test more laptop coolers let us know in the comments below.

To me one of the most important decision to make when buying a laptop cooler is to match the cooling fans position with the bottom vents of your laptop. So cool air can flow into your laptop.
Is gt600 better than gt500 v2?
The temperature of spell-check is too cool for school. Check your tempature.
Which one makes less noise and cools better regardless of price?

in your description you said the KeiBn 2-Fan was a winner but your charts show the KeiBn 6-Fan is the winner, being cooler than the IETS GT500v2 but costing only $30 vs $88. Honestly I would say the KeiBn 6-Fan is the winner because at $30 it’s almost as good as the best coolers you tested.
For me, Klim everest works great. It is cooling my laptop about 15-25 degrees (depends on the fan speed) and mode 1 and 2 are perfectly fine for gaming. It is just silent enough to still enjoy the game, and keep the laptop cool enough. Modes 3-4 are louder but still managable if you use headphones, and modes 5-max are just to quickly cool your laptop. Really cool pad in reasonable price and with 9 rgb modes.

These stereotypical internet salesman are getting on my last nerves 😠 that annoying proper talking sales pitch is starting to sound like nails on a chalk board. 🫨 Do these clowns go to school for this? 🤔🤨……..I know for sure whenever someone talks with their hands 🫰🫴🤏🤌👈👉👆👐🙌 they are trying to tell you or sell you some 🐂💩
gimme a laptop pad gng
This video convinced me to buy the Llano for my ASUS ROG Scar 17. Das it!
Short answer: They’re NOT!
You talk too much. Get to the point and result analysis. Ughh
I really hate videos that use a title that don’t have anything to do with that. I was wondering if cooling pads work, and all you are doing is advertising.
I have an Asus ROG Strix g17 (2023) gaming laptop what’s the best for mine?
$70-100 for a cooling pad? F*ck that lol
My parents yelled at my enough, I don’t need to be yelled at by a kid on YouTube… Informative but damn!
This video cleared so much of my doubts for coolers. Also thanks for a bunch of comments. They were helpful too.
then there’s me testing mine out "oh, laptop feels colder now" (insert old man with akward smile meme — you know the one)
should of done tests with how much electricity output there is.
your IETS GT500V2 link didn’t work bro!?
I would not call a 4070 top of the line even 10 months ago… However, the review still helped. I guess I’ll try it out with my 4090 laptop.
whats the best cooler for overall?
To think this guy probably bought those pcs with his own money while not being a big channel is admirable and comemorable for all the hard work in this video, bought a laptop cooler right after this due to your advice man thank you
I’m wondering if my laptop’s cooling system draws in cool air from the bottom and exhausts hot air from the back. Will using a cooling pad that blows cool air upward have the opposite effect?
Im sorry but i have the iets gt500 and it makes absolutely ZERO difference. Unit is in perfect condition, its loud, it spins a lot, and my asus m16 2023 has the same thermals with the cooler or without it.
Great Vid!!
Thank yeaux⚜️for this segment🦾I dj a still use an older MacBook Pro, an the dj software starts glitching when i can feel the laptop getting hotter….hope this works🦾good lookin🛜
So.. I did get one and honestly, it really doesn’t do that much. The problem is that it’s a gaming laptop that already has dedicated cooling built in, so the main source of heat is from the sides.. i think I’d need to get a laptop cooling system that is specific to the laptop in this case.
Good info… but have you realised that youre alone in that room ? You dont need to shout.. holy crap man ! xD
I’ve had the IETS GT500 for a while now, and it’s been great. My only gripes with it are that looks a little silly with the red and messing with the rgb settings is weirdly confusing. There’s a new GT600 now and am curious how much better that one may or may not be.
Hi Matt, i have a 14 inch dell latitude 7410 and i’m using the laptop on my couch…. the thing is the laptop fans are on the bottom and they heat my balls. which cooler is the smallest not noisy and with less LEDS or an option to turn them off?
Asus rog strix G16 is huge egg cooking machine. Turbo = 95 C degree cpu permanently 😀
I would luv a noice to performance and also cost comparison
When this pushes air into your laptop and cools your laptop, In most cases the fans seeing a lower temperatures will be told to spin slower. If this blows air into your laptop faster than your fans are blowing it will spin your fans faster than they should be. Every YouTube video says fans spinning faster than they should do the air cans blowing in on cleaning is bad and they should be locked in place. Also If your fans are sucking faster than this cooling pad or of the cooling pad is off then the seal may starve your fans of air. Somebody please tell me I’m wrong. I want to be wrong.
Im rocking a gtx 1660ti and its still holds up pretty damn well i must say

I would say cooler is now more important than ever with the intel cpu issue no matter the cost. You might want to spend more to keep your cpu as low as possible

What I can not understand is why soo many cooling pads do not focus on putting fans specifically in the upper part where most modern laptops (like 2018 and onwards) have their intakes.
thank you . that was very helpfull. i think i go for the klim everest or are there any objections?
I think if the base of the laptop is made of metal (macbook, surface laptop) and the metalic base of the laptop gets hot, then the coolers might be worth it. If the laptop is made out of plastic, then unless it has large vents in the base of the laptop, it’s not worth it. 5% performance improvement is not worth the ergonomics of the laptop being further destroyed.
My T530 runs an average of 95-100C when I am playing GTA 5. Would one of these coolers help?
Any recommendations for the best cooling pad for strix 18 2024
Thank you for your reviews. I found another video about a Mac laptop and some custom cooling tests and they showed a basic cooler is effective on a fanless laptop.
So I ended up using a $50 gift card to pick up the Klim Everest (#3 best on these charts) for $47.50 with tax. In the future I’m interested in the thermoelectric options for the fanless laptops, and also comparing against the IETS 600 V2. Maybe you could do a fanless laptop review video in 2025?.
Edit: the Klim Everest is silent from 10 ft away with a small air filter nearby. Highly recommend for budget and effectiveness. The footprint is the size of a large laptop. I was hitting 75-80C in game and got it down to 65-70C. Exactly what I wanted!
I liked this very much.
You should sort the graphs by rank so you can see the coldest for CPU, coldest for GPU, quietest, fastest… whatever.
There are some really odd results here. The top of the ranks and the bottoms make sense. But with two of the winners, the 2 fan jobs by Keibn and Liens, don’t. While you like the Liens a hair better, I believe because it yielded faster results, it ran hotter. The colder pad should yield faster scores. They are nearly identical. They may have the same fans. It makes me wonder if something was up with the result recording.
Did GT500v2 people 🤔 sponsor you today?

Says nothing about the iets which I own and love
here i am with my cheap walmart window box fans on my lap……
Love your videos. You’ve taught me most of what I know about laptop coolers. Keibn now has a new Llano style laptop cooler. Have you tested that or have any plans som compare it?
