Review on 💨 KLIM Wind Cooling Pad - Lightweight, Quiet, and Powerful Laptop Cooler - Supports 11-17 Inch Laptops, PS4 - 4 Fans - USB Slim Portable Laptop Stand - Enhanced 2021 Version - Blue by Jeff Leu

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Slows down laptop fan, not temperature (due to temperature dependent fan speed)

Same as Suliman. You can find his review by filtering reviews down to 3* only and his review should come first, I've marked it as helpful and commented. on BOTH controllers. ========== This device only slows down the fan speed of your laptop. at 60% or more CPU utilization, the values are almost identical. The only discrepancy I noticed was that the minimum and maximum values were further apart (the range from minimum to maximum was 7s without the pad and 10s with). I expect the standby temperature to be lower than without this device, even though the internal fan is off at this point. The rear legs extend 2 inches plus an extra inch for the device itself, making the back of your laptop 3 inches higher than flat and 2 inches higher than the front. I will be purchasing thermal paste and pads to disassemble and replace my laptop to mitigate the high temperatures. I haven't had any issues with the front supports breaking as mentioned by others (in the 3 hours of ownership I have). are a bit loose when using laptop supports so gets cool air on my wrists which isn't necessarily a bad thing. keeps the laptop in place, has a USB pass-through, makes my laptop fans quieter (mentioned twice because it's really nice) ------------ Cons - LEDs - no idea why people want that under the laptop, they don't shine on the sides. keeps my laptop from cooling down; uses my only available USB port; not suitable for your knees; On the surface below (doesn't bother me, but does bother others) there is no general change in laptop temperature (listed twice because that is the main selling point and should be explained in the description) ======= ==== During Suliman gave this device a 3* rating, I am giving it 4* because there is nothing wrong with the device itself other than its description. It's not a good idea to give this device a low rating because it does what ANY laptop cooler will do. Writing a review that explains how the device actually works is the best plan, and Suliman did that, which is why I gave him a useful rating in his review. However, I gave this unit a 1* for gaming features as your laptop will likely run at top speed when gaming with or without this cooler. ========== My general feelings about this and ALL laptop coolers in this style (I've been thinking about getting one that plugs into the outlet and draws air out of the laptop, they might work better , but there was no room for it in my setup) don't buy it unless you have an issue with the noise level of your laptop's current cooling system. I personally did and that's why this device works for me, albeit not the way I wanted (as you can see in my screenshot, my temperatures on this laptop are too high, the stated maximum temperatures were at 100% after 3 minutes CPU of all cores with some variation not more than 5% each). So I will order thermal paste and gaskets and then disassemble and replace existing ones. Reviews of this process for my line of laptops show an overall drop of 10-25 degrees in the Open Hardware Monitor after this was done, compared to no temperature change and a lower fan speed from the laptop's cooler. I hope the combination of the two gives me the option to turn off the internal fan when using this cooler.

Pros
  • ✅ THE MOST POWERFUL ON THE MARKET. With 4 silent fans rotating at up to 1200 rpm. This is a spacious laptop stand that can cool down your computer to an acceptable temperature in less than a minute. These 4 fans keep all parts of the laptop cool.
Cons
  • Wrinkled packaging
