What more can you add to all these reviews? I don't like to write bad reviews, I don't look for cons in anything, but at least in my situation, this article did not help at all. My new Dell G3 gaming laptop got very hot right out of the box and experienced severe thermal throttling. I've read that these laptop coolers really help with that. When I received this I immediately noticed upon unboxing how cheap it looked and felt, but who cares as long as it does its job. Well the fans felt a bit underpowered in general, they just kind of "pushed" more air instead of blowing or blowing air into the laptop like I thought (or hoped). It was more like putting your hand over a flimsy ventilation shaft in the back room of the house. But where disappointments occurred, it didn't help my laptop get cooler at all, not one degree! I had 105 degrees Celsius with or without. And yes, it lined up nicely with the intake ports on the underside of my car. I felt like I wasted my money on this and made a refund as it did nothing for my situation. However, I followed my CPU undervoltage guide and after that successfully lowered my temperatures enough to completely stop thermal throttling and was pleasantly surprised to get a full 11 FPS after undervolting in Hitman 2. And the program I used to lower the tension always works and keeps the tension the whole time. So this review only referred to my specific situation. Of course, your mileage may vary. All those great reviews should say something, but there's always a weirdo like me that didn't work for them.
