Are Laptop Coolers Worth It? The Ultimate Laptop Cooling Pad Guide 2024! (20 Coolers Tested)
Are laptop coolers worth it? Well I set out to find out if in fact the added cost of anywhere from $12-$110 ever makes sense for adding a laptop cooling pad to your setup. To do this I took 20 of amazons best selling laptop cooling pads and pinned them head to head to see what laptop cooling solutions actually were worth the added cost, by testing them across three different tiered laptops. An older Asus Gl552, set to represent lower power draw systems and older side ventilation laptops, a new HP Victus 15, which represents newer midrange laptops and finally Asus’s Strix G16, which is representing the high end of the laptop market. After testing all of the coolers on each laptop, we found that by far the best options out there come from the Llano Laptop Cooling Pad, and the IETS GT500V2. We hope you enjoyed this video and if you would like us to test more laptop coolers let us know in the comments below.

I really hate videos that use a title that don’t have anything to do with that. I was wondering if cooling pads work, and all you are doing is advertising.
I’ve had the IETS GT500 for a while now, and it’s been great. My only gripes with it are that looks a little silly with the red and messing with the rgb settings is weirdly confusing. There’s a new GT600 now and am curious how much better that one may or may not be.

Good info… but have you realised that youre alone in that room ? You dont need to shout.. holy crap man ! xD
The temperature of spell-check is too cool for school. Check your tempature.
Great research
Great Vid!!
I’m wondering if my laptop’s cooling system draws in cool air from the bottom and exhausts hot air from the back. Will using a cooling pad that blows cool air upward have the opposite effect?

thank you . that was very helpfull. i think i go for the klim everest or are there any objections?
I would say cooler is now more important than ever with the intel cpu issue no matter the cost. You might want to spend more to keep your cpu as low as possible
Says nothing about the iets which I own and love
here i am with my cheap walmart window box fans on my lap……
Is gt600 better than gt500 v2?
Im getting a msi bravo or katana with i7, but i want a very thin fan. But if there is no such thing as a cooling sticker or pad that can stay on my laptop forever and keep it cool.
modern ltt looking ah, nice video tho

in your description you said the KeiBn 2-Fan was a winner but your charts show the KeiBn 6-Fan is the winner, being cooler than the IETS GT500v2 but costing only $30 vs $88. Honestly I would say the KeiBn 6-Fan is the winner because at $30 it’s almost as good as the best coolers you tested.
should of done tests with how much electricity output there is.
This video convinced me to buy the Llano for my ASUS ROG Scar 17. Das it!
Short answer: They’re NOT!
You talk too much. Get to the point and result analysis. Ughh
Love your videos. You’ve taught me most of what I know about laptop coolers. Keibn now has a new Llano style laptop cooler. Have you tested that or have any plans som compare it?
This video cleared so much of my doubts for coolers. Also thanks for a bunch of comments. They were helpful too.
For me, Klim everest works great. It is cooling my laptop about 15-25 degrees (depends on the fan speed) and mode 1 and 2 are perfectly fine for gaming. It is just silent enough to still enjoy the game, and keep the laptop cool enough. Modes 3-4 are louder but still managable if you use headphones, and modes 5-max are just to quickly cool your laptop. Really cool pad in reasonable price and with 9 rgb modes.

Asus rog strix G16 is huge egg cooking machine. Turbo = 95 C degree cpu permanently 😀
Im sorry but i have the iets gt500 and it makes absolutely ZERO difference. Unit is in perfect condition, its loud, it spins a lot, and my asus m16 2023 has the same thermals with the cooler or without it.
These stereotypical internet salesman are getting on my last nerves 😠 that annoying proper talking sales pitch is starting to sound like nails on a chalk board. 🫨 Do these clowns go to school for this? 🤔🤨……..I know for sure whenever someone talks with their hands 🫰🫴🤏🤌👈👉👆👐🙌 they are trying to tell you or sell you some 🐂💩
great video, but you could consider including the statistics for each test in your conclusions section just for your top picks so people can easily see why those decisions were made 🙂
Also, having control test values on screen for heat without the coolers (not sure if this was here and i just missed it) could go a long way in helping make decisions.
Thank you for this! I actually have the Havit but I noticed it isn’t enough to keep my laptop cooler. So, I was on a search for a better one and I came across of your video. You pretty much convinced me to purchase IETS GT500V2 haha. I am hoping it will work well. Thanks again =)
gimme a laptop pad gng
I liked this very much.
You should sort the graphs by rank so you can see the coldest for CPU, coldest for GPU, quietest, fastest… whatever.
There are some really odd results here. The top of the ranks and the bottoms make sense. But with two of the winners, the 2 fan jobs by Keibn and Liens, don’t. While you like the Liens a hair better, I believe because it yielded faster results, it ran hotter. The colder pad should yield faster scores. They are nearly identical. They may have the same fans. It makes me wonder if something was up with the result recording.
I think if the base of the laptop is made of metal (macbook, surface laptop) and the metalic base of the laptop gets hot, then the coolers might be worth it. If the laptop is made out of plastic, then unless it has large vents in the base of the laptop, it’s not worth it. 5% performance improvement is not worth the ergonomics of the laptop being further destroyed.
When this pushes air into your laptop and cools your laptop, In most cases the fans seeing a lower temperatures will be told to spin slower. If this blows air into your laptop faster than your fans are blowing it will spin your fans faster than they should be. Every YouTube video says fans spinning faster than they should do the air cans blowing in on cleaning is bad and they should be locked in place. Also If your fans are sucking faster than this cooling pad or of the cooling pad is off then the seal may starve your fans of air. Somebody please tell me I’m wrong. I want to be wrong.
I have an Asus ROG Strix g17 (2023) gaming laptop what’s the best for mine?
Im rocking a gtx 1660ti and its still holds up pretty damn well i must say
Hi Matt, i have a 14 inch dell latitude 7410 and i’m using the laptop on my couch…. the thing is the laptop fans are on the bottom and they heat my balls. which cooler is the smallest not noisy and with less LEDS or an option to turn them off?
Martinez James Young Sharon Taylor Larry
What I can not understand is why soo many cooling pads do not focus on putting fans specifically in the upper part where most modern laptops (like 2018 and onwards) have their intakes.
Thank yeaux⚜️for this segment🦾I dj a still use an older MacBook Pro, an the dj software starts glitching when i can feel the laptop getting hotter….hope this works🦾good lookin🛜
Any recommendations for the best cooling pad for strix 18 2024
Laptop cooling pads are really useful when regular days are hitting 100 degrees
then there’s me testing mine out "oh, laptop feels colder now" (insert old man with akward smile meme — you know the one)
Did GT500v2 people 🤔 sponsor you today?
My parents yelled at my enough, I don’t need to be yelled at by a kid on YouTube… Informative but damn!
Could you make your script are available for me!! PLZ
I would not call a 4070 top of the line even 10 months ago… However, the review still helped. I guess I’ll try it out with my 4090 laptop.
My T530 runs an average of 95-100C when I am playing GTA 5. Would one of these coolers help?
$70-100 for a cooling pad? F*ck that lol
