Review on 💻 i-Star Laptop Cooling Pad with 2 USB Ports, Adjustable Height and LED Fans with Speed Control - Gaming Laptop Cooler Pad for Efficient Computer Cooling by John Galbraith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Enough airflow for some cooling but not good enough

Background: Dell E6530 i7 2.7Ghz running at 3.6Ghz Turbo, gradually overheating always converting multiple videos which is 100% CPU speed on all 4 cores requires quite a long time. The cores reach 105°C Tj max in about 20 minutes because the laptop doesn't have as many vents on the bottom as it should, in my opinion. This 5-fan cooler could limit the CPU temperature to 89-91℃. Another cooler I tested, the Alien Studio cooler on the same laptop that did the same job, was able to keep the CPU at a maximum of 85C. My final conclusion when comparing the difference between this cooler and the other two was in that the holes in the metal grille that the Alien Studio cooler's laptop rests on were larger, allowing for better airflow despite having only 4 fans. So this is something to consider when purchasing a laptop cooler.
