What's the point? on cooling pads and external fans

Adjustable plastic feet do not support my 15" MacBook Pro. They cannot be split far enough. The laptop basically sits on these supports. Maximum angle, my laptop would just start to slide there the stoppers don't work at all. The biggest concern is the cooling performance. The thing is, I don't think it works at all. The temperature sensors show 2829 degrees Celsius when my computer is idle with an internal CPU temperature of 60 ยฐC. When the computer boots up and the internal temperature of the CPU is around 90 ยฐC, the temperature gauge of this cooling pad still shows 3031. The fans run pretty loud, but I don't think they run fast enough to make a difference .Maybe it's also because of the strange design.The temperature sensors in the cooling pad are in the cooling pad, and the pad itself always pulls air from below and pushes up. Therefore, temperature sensors will largely only be able to measure the local ambient temperature. I think that's why even when my computer is 98 degrees Celsius with two fans at max power, the cooling pad still thinks it's 31 degrees Celsius and it doesn't really help. Enabling "Turbo" mode doesn't seem to help either.

Pros
  • special offer
Cons
  • too blunt
