If you look at the performance of laptop coolers, you'll find that the temperatures are about the same if you just lift the laptop on the stand for more to allow airflow. through the floor. So with fans on or off, CPU and GPU temperatures are the same. Regardless, I find it the perfect solution for elevating your laptop and tilting your keyboard. CPU and GPU temps drop about 15-28F with fans on or off, doesn't matter. The fans keep the case a bit cooler. But I like this product because it's not flashy, the LEDs are barely visible and the fans have a nice placebo effect. The orientation of the fan relative to the laptop's air intake varies, but it's more of a case cooler. When the back legs are extended it slides around the table a bit, so adding rubber to the legs helps. When folded, there are good rubber buffers on all four corners.
