KLIMMistral Laptop Cooling Pad - Powerful Turbo-Fan 4500 RPM Laptop Cooler - Rubber Ring Seal for Maximum Performance - Avoid Overheating and Protect Your Gaming Laptop - 15-17 in

Forgive my little joke! The cooler really does do a great job of cooling. I run an i7, 32MB, GTX 1060 gaming laptop from MSI that is a few years old now. I wanted a new cooler as I fell on me old one and broke the adjustable legs.TLDR; The Klim Mistral operates beyond excellent for day to day and gaming purposes. For my 'rig' the cooler is great and I suspect it will be very similar for more powerful devices.I have had other products from KLIM for other uses so thought to give this a try.Even when my old cooling pad was new and on full power it did cool the laptop but the top of the laptop still got very warm during gaming [mmorpg games mostly].This KLIM Mistral instantly solved the heating issue! I fitted the correct seal and rear exhaust deflectors connected to the laptop the put the laptop on the cooler before switching on.I ran a diagnostic application that gives accurate temperature measurements of the laptop and set about testing. I selected an RGB light colour on cooler I liked then I ran a browser, a data base viewer, a word processor, mail app and pdf viewer all at same time - switching between them for use. On lowest setting the cooler did an adequate job of cooling and lowered the temperature a couple of degrees. On the mid fan setting the cooler managed to lower the temperature by 4 to 6 degrees. Of course the highest fan setting gave the best result and lowered the temperature by as much as 10 to 12 degrees.Not satisfied with simply leaving the testing at the stage I got to a new test was brought to play.This time after leaving the laptop [and cooler] off for about 40 minutes I fired the laptop, cooler and diagnostic tool back up. The diagnostic tool has a feature whereby it reports CPU and GPU temperatures lowest, average and highest temperatures. Now an mmorpg beta was started. I played the game for about 70 - 75 minutes to give the cooling pad a real run. For this test I had the cooler fan a highest setting.The first thing I noticed during this second test is that my palm [rested on laptop for key presses] stayed at the same cool temperature [I would even say cold]. After playing the game I shut it down and looked at the diagnostic tool temperatures and found them very cool compared to similar test done previously with no cooler pad and then with the old cooler pad [before it got damaged]. Again the new KLIM Mistral had performed admirably with all temperatures lowered by around 10 to 12 degrees.The Klim Mistral operates beyond excellent for day to day and gaming purposes. With good fan options a cosmetic light and great cooling.Likes: Looks good, easy to operate, height/angle adjustment, sturdy build, deflectors for rear output laptop heat, two sizes of 'rubber' seal to accommodate different sized laptops, adjustable RGB light, long USB cooler to laptop connecter and 3 position fan intensity.What could be changed: the long USB connector is great but maybe a little too long [remedy is to roll it up and secure with a fastener], RGB light is great but could benefit from an 'off' option [I could not find one] and the noise, especially on highest fan setting, could be improved [lowered].Just one last thing regarding the noise of the fans. I expected the fans to be noisier as the fan setting got higher and the noise is somewhat high. However; after using the cooler for many hours while doing day to day tasks and extensive use during beta testing an mmorpg and playing other games at varying graphics, fps and other associated settings /strains I soon came to 'zone' out the noise. In fact, after a short while, I barely noticed the noise of the fans as I got lost in my various tasks.[No photos / images at time of review due to laptop and cooler being temporarily unavailable to me]

My son's laptop was getting hella hot so we needed someone to chill it out & this works great.Can't give it 5* cos it's fairly noisy, but we've had no more overheating so can't, currently, fault it.

Solid build, only noisy when at maximum speed.GPU temp improved a lot, here are some examples from my nitro laptop with an old gtx 1050 using unigine benchmark.Slowest speed: from 75 to a steady 67Medium speed: can get temp to 63, some noiseMaximum speed: temp gets to 60, noisy but doesnt bother me in the least

This works better than I expected! Which I am so happy about as the price is kinda steep! I’ve bought plenty of the £15-£-25 pound keeps ones that just have 4-5 fans under a grated cover and honestly they barely do anything!With the cheaper model my temps sat at about 70c-80cWith this one, whilst gaming my temps are around 55c to 65c and the laptop stays feeling cool!I also like the fact that the lighting on it is very subtle and does not glare at you!The only thing I would say is it’s bulky and a bit loud on the highest fan setting! But it’s a small trade off for the brilliant job it does!

I don't normally write reviews. Got myself a gaming laptop and wanted to make sure that it lasts for a while as it is not cheap. I looked into cheap cooling pads and they all were based on fans. I live in a big city and a lot of dust is lying around. I felt like it would just fan the dust into the computer quicker.What i liked about this type of cooling pad is that it filters the air from the surroundings so no dust is delivered into the fan system at the bottom of the laptop. The whole air fanning is also isolated from the outside environment so it really cools it off much quicker than cheap fan based cooling pads.It easily keeps my laptop 20-30 degrees cooler than just laptop cooling alone.Also great price - other cooling pads of this price cost north of £100. Overall, very happy with the purchase! I just wish it fit into my backpack for travels - that's one con.Also, I saw some reviews mention that the clips at the bottom that hold the laptop from sliding prevent closing the laptop - tip - turn them the other way round, with the L aimed downwards. Your laptop will still be held up, but you will be able to close the lid!

good cooler but very Winnie fans on all four modesand how the power is done it's very weird because it's a USB-a to USB-a connectorso if you're not careful at someone plucks the cable into two usbs on the laptopyou could fry the laptop

Works very well only a bit noisy
