Razer Laptop Cooling Pad Adaptive Smart, Intelligent Fan Control

I have an interesting set up, and needed something powerful, but also on the smaller side so it wouldn't stick out an awful lot. I tried probably 10 other laptop coolers before finally arriving to this Razer model, and it's the ONE. Obviously, it has a sleek design with none of the weird, unsightly little wheels or knobs a lot of models have. The buttons for this are tucked cleanly on the right side (there are three). It also doesn't stick out a lot, so my laptop/desktop set up is a lot cleaner looking. There's only the one set level of height, but it's not a problem for me since my laptop is hooked to my monitor. I think it's at a height that's comfortable for most people though. I used this pad as a hub of sorts to keep cables tidy before I swapped a Thunderbolt dock, and it worked great. Since the ports are in the back, cables are kept cleanly out of sight. I don't have a Razer laptop (I'd love one though!), but the additional magnetic tip in screens made it possible for this to fit perfectly for my Asus Tuf f15. While my laptop does have an awesome internal fan system, I'll still hit framerate drops and bad lagging about 40 minutes into heavy gaming (like for Oblivion Remastered or Crimson Desert) just due to the extreme heat well into the 200s. This pad though, keeps everything cooler by FAR, sometimes cutting my temps in near half. The screenshot shown is right after a heavy, multi hour gaming session. It might not seem like much to some, but after me worrying I'd toast my GPU (not to mention being super salty about such short gaming times) this is insane. Yes, it's loud, but honestly, I've never had a fan system that wasn't loud when it actually works. It's well worth being able to play games on my older laptop! You can download the app and use it even if you don't have a Razer laptop, you just won't have all of the features. You'll be able to modify the fan speeds/arcs and also the lighting, which for being just a small strip, has some pretty cool modes. I personally LOVE this Razer cooling pad. It makes me want more Razer products, since this is so thoughtfully made. This has made what used to be a depressing time gaming into hours of fun.

I got this Razer laptop cooling pad for my 18" Acer Predator Helios. I will say it isn't a perfect fit. However, it does work and keep my laptop cooler. Setup was quick and easy, and that included a firmware update. Just follow the on-screen instructions and reboot. 6 month update: this cooler has worked great. I cleaned the filter and its been keeping my laptop cooler clean. Software works great and controls are too. Overall happy. Only con is I think its overpriced but my main reason was keep all my peripherals Razer since all of them have been flawless. Leds are only on the front. It would have been cool to see more Leds around the side, but that doesn't negativity affect anything. I did need to update my Synapse 3 to Synapse 4. I believe the main reason is they separated Chroma from Synapse. My auto fan works great, and the profiles for low/med/high are adjustable. I made two small tweaks to the low and medium profiles just to make it dead silent when no load is on gpu/cpu. You can control the fans and lights via the buttons on the side of the cooler, or within the software. The software also gives you a basic look or an advance look for fan profiles. It's pretty cool. I play DayZ and with my Nvidia monitor I went from roughly 80*C @ 100% load to about 68-72*C and around 60-80% load. Based on that pretty sure I was getting thermally throttled. FPS is better also. I use a Razer Tartarus V2 because the height of the laptop keyboard is higher and for me is less comfortable while gaming. The Tartarus pairs up nice. There is an intake fan dust cover, so hopefully that does a good job as my house with multiple kids and animals gets pretty dusty. Currently very happy. It works just as advertised. And I'm happy with it not fitting 100% so it may work better for you and get even better results with temperature. Again, I'm using an Acer laptop, not a Razer so it's my own fault but it does work with non-Razer laptops. The cooler does have its own AC power adaptor which powers the cooler. There are also 3 usb ports on the rear, and they're setup for my Tartarus V2, JBL Quantum One headset and my charging cable for my Balilisk V3 Pro mouse. The pass thru works great, and I have no performance or audio issues.

Before I purchased this cooling pad I had a cheap Chinese pad with four fans and zero software. I ran the Chinese pad on max all the time but it barely made a difference. There was nothing in the way of dust filtration in the Chinese pad. Razer has outdone themselves concerning the design of this cooling pad. The plastic is very sturdy and the stand is at a perfect angle. This cooling pad also doubles as a USB-A hub, with appropriate space for cables underneath the pad. The foam serves to insulate the underside of a laptop from dust, and there is dust filtration on the fan as well. While gaming this cooling pad offers significant performance gains. The fan will easily go up to full speed and generate a substantial amount of noise. I can hear this noise occasionally through headphones but it doesn't bother me too much. The game soundtrack should cover up the fan noise as well. The software allows you to see temps, manually set the fan speed, set the fan to adaptive mode, and control the LED bar on the bottom of the pad. I use the fan on adaptive mode since it usually runs slowly enough that I cannot hear it or I have tuned it out. I have the LED set to Razer green, but you can easily turn it off. You can also use a plethora of LED modes like "breathe" or "rainbow". Overall the cooling pad is worth the cost. Razer may have added a little "brand tax" but this cooling pad is reliably performant. There are cheaper cooling pads from China that serve the same purpose, but they do not usually offer the gains this pad delivers. The build quality is also lacking in many of the cheaper options.

I bought this for my legion 5i gaming laptop and I will say... it does keep it cool! With that said some pros and cons I would like to discuss. pros: -Comfortable on my lap -Not loud on low speeds -Allows for your laptop to breath with the large gap -Pretty cool RGB (if you care which I personally dont that much) cons: -very loud at higher speeds -The cable to power it is kind of short for my liking. Summary: I would recommend this pad if you have some extra cash to spend and you really want to make sure you laptop is cool. BUT, I would recommend looking around some more if you want something with a longer power cable, and a bit more quite at faster speeds. I WILL SAY HOWEVER, that I have never really needed to put it at a higher speed then low with the cooling pad and my laptop fans running.

Love it, except for one thing... it produces a lot of air thru my machine and keeps it really cool, which is amazing for an Older Alienware computer, they run really hot. The thing that I would like as an add on... is a place where you can slide in a large air filter underneath so the air is filtered... and doesnt clog up the fans and ports on my machine so fast. I consistently have to blow out the air and lint in the ports, and fans, coolers etc. And with the extra air flow, this is even more likely to happen more often. So a large air filter would make this the best thing on the market as far as I am concerned. I am a designer and engineer, and machinist. And so I know my equipment really well. If you get on this Razer People... it will be top's. Nothing else can compair with your product.

It’s lightweight, made entirely of hard plastic, loud, and definitely not one-size-fits-all. That said, it’s still a surprisingly solid unit. I bought it for my Alienware m18 R2, but the base of the laptop was slightly too long and left air gaps around the seal. I fixed it by rolling up a piece of cloth and wedging it into the gap so the cooling pad’s airflow wouldn’t leak out the sides and instead gets directed straight into the laptop’s intake vents. It’s also very loud. I wear Astro A50s and can still hear it, so if you’re highly sensitive to noise, I’d avoid it. Personally, I don’t play competitively, so after a while the sound just blends into the background like white noise and I stop noticing it. I went into this mainly wanting something well-built and effective at cooling my laptop, and in that regard, it delivers. But it’s expensive for what it is, and if your main priority is value for the money, I’d probably pass on this one.

This product caused damaged to my Laptop and Razor doesn't understand the issue. The product plugs into the computer Via USB the issue with the product is that when plugged into a laptop and the laptop goes into sleep but continues using processing power or CPU is still processing but pc is in sleep the USB turns off when S4 / S5 / Power Options are enabled or power settings, given the fact that the chamber is Air Tight, and there is no warning on the Box itself what happened is the PC heated up and turned on to try to vent the heat, but because the Razor cooler would not kick in, or give me an option to leave the cooler on if it was plugged into the PC this caused damage the Fans have to be replaced which the manufacture doesn't have currently, and possibly the heat pipe and thermal compound was all dried up. To fix this razor needs to fix it so we have the option for the cooler not to turn off as it is powered by an AC Adapater there is no reason for it to turn off when the PC detects no power. This is easily avoidable by the company adding an option by default to leave the cooler on until manually turned off while plugged in via usb but theres no option for this as a resut the computer was damaged, but the worst part is contacting razor they didn't seem to understand.

Got this after I fried a 2Tb SSD in my Asus zen duo laptop. This, along with replacing the SSD with a better quality drive, seems to have solved the issue nicely. The fan cools adequately, although it is kind of noisy especially on the highest level. The lights are cool, but honestly I don't bother much with that feature.

its effectively cooling my G14 laptop.... good to have this cooling pad..

Terbaikk !!!

Didn’t get Australian plug with this.

El mayor inconveniente que tiene es el precio, aunque después de validar sus características se observa que está basado en la funcionalidad que ofrece, todo es configurable a través de su software razer synapse, se pueden crear curvas personalizadas (por temperatura o RPM) y asignárselas a juegos según se requiera el nivel de enfriamiento. Se puede modificar el RGB, incluso se le puede agregar otra funcionalidad diferente a los botones de RGB y RPM de la base, respecto al apagado se sincroniza con la laptop y cuando esta se apaga el ventilador entra en reposo, lo mismo en el encendido, el ventilador toma la última configuración de RPM para funcionar. La construcción es de muy buena calidad e incluye 3 marcos magnéticos para usar según las dimensiones de la laptop, el cable de alimentación para consumo de 36w (muy buen consumo de energía) Respecto al funcionamiento, el ventilador tiene un mínimo de 500 RPM y puede llegar hasta los 3200 RPM, lo cual ofrece un buen nivel de enfriamiento, aunque también a mayores revoluciones incrementa el ruido generado (haciendo pruebas el nivel aceptable de ruido es con 1700 RMP, en adelante se recomienda usar audífonos). A nivel personal observo que favorece más al lado derecho de la laptop manteniendo una temperatura no mayor a los 70 grados en la gráfica usándola al 100% en juegos de alto rendimiento y al procesador en ocasiones no le ha llegado a impactar. Otro de los factores que se debe considerar es el uso de los marcos herméticos para poder concentrar el mayor posible aire fresco, con el marco liso el aire se escapa y la laptop no recupera el aire suficiente para enfriar. finalmente, el hub de 3 puerto UBS es muy bueno y mínimo cubre el puerto USB de la laptop que se estaría ocupando. Si bien puede tener algunos detalles a mi consideración y al momento es la mejor base que se puede llegar a adquirir, las configuraciones que se pueden realizar, la potencia y el mantener mi laptop en las condiciones adecuadas de funcionamiento es lo que le otorgar valor a la base.

This laptop cooling pad works very well. My laptop fan runs much quieter. The Razer software manage the fan curve and rams up if needed and works very well. Overall, my laptop with the cooling pad is much quieter at intensive application or gaming. I can now use the laptop without headphones. Built quality is probably the best but it is more expensive but you do get a much better product and software. I tried other brands including Llano but not comparable Razer. Only downside is the size, wich is a bit to small for my 18inch laptop.
