In my experience laptops benefit much more from being raised somewhat so that their in built coolers can suck air easier, than from outside cooling. Unless you are talking about big time cooling. Last summer just to test I put a big fan (the one you use to cool down yourself in summer) under my laptop, and it actually managed to cut down the temps by 10c while blender rendering. So in my experience coolers do work in theory. Just not in the small form factor they are sold in.

[@incantation1321]

so true, those things do not have enough power to make a difference, but then again sparing a full sized fan for that purpose is kinda hard

[@owenposer6720]

I have a small desk fan that I put underneath my laptop lifted up. It makes a huge difference just my hands get pretty cold 😭

[@real_hello_kitty]

That's what I did. Put a real fan underneath my old laptop, because at that time I was so poor, I just grabbed the fan that I already had. It worked very well. But overall it looks ugly. I thought a laptop cooling fan would be better, that's why I watch this video. Apparently it is not.

100% if you ever plan to game with the laptop on your lap you will NEED a cooling pad. Period. I’ve always been a laptop gamer and I’ll say without a doubt if you don’t use the pad your thermals will be way above 80 degrees on your lap easily after an hour of gaming. I suggest you do your research and compare benchmarks of various pads. Klim mistral is a good one

[@whitehatdaily82]

Correction: The direction of the fan blow is going in from the bottom and blows out in the sides or top. That is the direction of the blow. So installing a cooling pad below your laptop helps as long as the direction of the fan blow is going to towards the bottom of the laptop. You will notice a slight difference if you are using a cooling pad connected to a 5Volt source. Solution: buy a fan with 12Volts external source and you will notice a great difference in temp and blow strength. 😊 Just my experience so far.

As an Alienware laptop user for me a laptop fan from dell actually was very helpful because it kept my computer from going over 200 degrees. I tested it as well it would only cap to 160 to 170 with the cooling pad but I do have tons of vents under my laptop and around the sides. Whenever one fan goes the temperature dramatically increases and the computer starts to burn me.

It really depends on the model you have. In most models nowadays the exaustor are at the back and sides of the laptop and the intakes are at the bottom, so if you blow wind under there it actually helps quite a lot with the airflow. But if the exaustor is on the bottom, or if you have no intakes at all on the bottom, a pad will not help you out by any means. laptop stands only help if you have inlets or outlets at the bottom, if all your holes are on the side/back, it makes no diference whatsoever

[@AllTheOthers]

This. I studied basic thermo-dynamics for jets, and even I know laptop cooling fans can help in the right conditions.

[@eatmyprotein5431]

i have found a laptop cooling pad with 3 adjustable fans, my intake is on the right hand side on the bottom, and my exhaust vent on the left also on the bottom. i believe if i switch the left side fan on the cooling pad to blow the opposite direction to the right side ones, it will blow air in the intake while also sucking air from the exhaust. therefore, upping airflow heavily.

[@Veretax]

This video was actually very informative. The first pad I bought didn't actually have a fan I bought it for my first quad core laptop which had a huge battery. But it would get hot so I was thankful that I had bought this thing from HP with it it was just a tray that it could sit on when I was working at my lazy boy. And it had a tray that would come out to put a mouse on it if I didn't want to use a trackpad. But it didn't do much to improve cooling because the heat still came up through the keyboard. I'm of the opinion that investing in cooling inside the laptop is maybe worth it from an experience standpoint. But I had to like this video for the Takagisan reference

[@StevenZagaris]

The best cooling pads are the raised aluminum ones with 1 or 2 fans in the middle. It gives you the height needed to pull in the most air and doesn't blow air into your exhaust but centrally which is where infrared shows most of the heat anyways.

[@RuTo94]

Newer gaming laptop majority of those have single blower style fans so cooling pad would be useless a stand is the way to go thank you bro for explaining

[@micklawrence4329]

[@moncef2466]

The only cooling that actually works in a laptop is opening the thing up, changing the thermal paste, cleaning the dusty fans and exhaust, elevating the laptop, and if u can, use one of those small USB fans and make it blow the hot air that's coming out of the laptop, away from it to the sides.

[@mgproryh]

A cooling pad is absolutely not for blowing air into the laptop, it is for cooling down under trays setup for passive cooling, and that is the absolute best way to describe it. You can mod passive cooling into your under tray if its aluminium BTW, this will give you results if done right. Its really important to understand how laptops often cool to ultimately answer this question. A gaming laptop for example will typically require more cooling so designers of the laptop often have them use metal under trays which have copper connecting thermal pads (thermal pad looks like bluetac, its effectively a type of tape that transfers heat, its used for component cooling in laptops, it is not the same as the cooling pads in question) from the CPU/GPU onto the underside of the laptop tray (similar to how the old school mac books pros did it), this burns the absolute crap out of your legs however when paired with one of these desk fans does actually make a difference. Most general purpose laptops wont have a cooling setup like this due to how uncomfortable it is for the user, theyl just have two blower fans and all the heat is dissipated through those, if you use a cooling pad on this it absolutely will not make any difference. Its all about removing heat and a fan blowing cold air into the underside of your laptop when the laptop fans are doing the exact same thing at likely a higher RPM (so likely the pad just restricts air) and not through passive disipation is absolutely useless, if it wasnt then every desktop PC company, every server would have fans stacked 5 ontop of eachother, its just not how it works. Its really hard for me to describe what im getting at here unless youve taken apart and seen many different models of laptop, but basically if you have an aluminium under tray to your laptop you can stick thermal pads between that and the CPU / GPU, itl make the part of the laptop that sits on your knee burning hot however when used in conjunction with a cooling pad, that is when you'll actually see a difference. The heat is inside the laptop and youve got to remove it. If you have the heat travel to the bottom tray of the laptop then a cooling pad makes a difference.

My Legion is all aluminium as well, and the whole thing heats up under load, so I could make a cooling plate for it, with copper ribs and fans, attached to the stand, I have a lot of flat aluminium surface to work with after all

[@theoneneo5024]

Yes and no. Providing a higher volume of air at a faster rate to the intake fans will help with active cooling, not much but it will be effective. Blowing cool air across the entire bottom of the laptop will help with passive cooling which also provides benefits. Three or four large high volume slow(ish) turning fans will provide the most benefit with the lowest noise. In this case he was really CPU limited and the cooling wasn't going to provide much benefit. If he had a more up to date laptop that was truely thermal throttling then most of these solutions would have helped some. You could put liquid nitrogen on an old laptop and get little to no beneift when running the latest version of Blender because the cpu itself is the limit.

It's not always about the fans they do like 20% of the job, what you need is elevation.

[@ragnorockcookie2868]

In my opinion, a better way to cool down a laptop is to make a specialized attachment to connect to the exhaust and attach a fan and modify the cooling system.

Ok. This confirm what i thought well suspected already. As even in PC cases Mid Tower or smaller you can get temps high if there is no good exhaust fans in. Even better inatake and out take fans... Same is here. If you guys wanna good fans make sure to use ones with 4 wires. So it support PWM (fourth wire control fan speed based on temperature sensor)... in nutshell... Also see Specs about dB levels (noise). If you guys want cooling pads that are silent use passive ones. Right build material can have heat absorbing qualities or even models with additional thermal solution. There is talk about it on net so search.

[@Le_Sourpuss]

My laptop's cooling base's fan is so weak that it literally makes no noise. You can't hear it. I believe that, although the difference is marginal, that it might cool a tiny little bit more than the stand.

[@evanblake47]

Cooling pads provide more than just cooling. In most cases, cooling pads will make an unnoticeable temperature difference. However, they can still provide: 1) A first line of defense from dust or create a space away from a surface that might become dusty. ie. a desk that you solemnly dust. The fans on the cooling pad will collect dust before getting to the fans of your computer. 2) Add a viewing better angle. Most cooling pads can be angled or raised and make it a lot easier on the neck. Looking down at a laptop definitely takes a toll on the back and neck over time.

[@xero5727]

laptops exhaust hot air on the sides, not the bottom, the vents under the laptops are intake vents, and hot air rises so putting exhaust vents under the laptop makes no sense and can even make it hotter. Propping the laptop up helps fresh air circulate under the laptop, that's is why cooling pads have fans on the bottom of the laptop to help push the air toward the intake vents, but since most cooling pad fans aren't fast enough so it doesn't help much. I have friend who made a custom cooling pad using CPU cooler fans and it made his laptop drops to 45-48 degrees when he game

[@blingbling2841]

Here's my take. I had a single fan cooling pad from Cooler Master first. My first cooling pad. Never had a stand. My laptop vent the heat out from the back and sucks it in form the bottom. So in my use case the cooling pad was on point. However I felt moderately dissatisfied. It wasn't dust or clogging. I can open my laptop and service it myself just fine with the fans, ram, hdd, battery replwc, cleaning etc. Some time later I bought another cooler master but this one had 4 fans. Unfortunately the air it blows is nowhere near enough. Perhaps it's just how low quality the cooling pads have become lately. Seems like the actual good stuff starts at close to $80-100. Which may not be the right price margin for most people and consequently most would face disappointment. Personally taking a strong wire or perforated mesh and attaching pc cabinet fans at the bottom of them while rigging them up to an external power source seems the best solution cooling wise but the comfort of having it in your lap would be gone. I guess that's the tradeoff here.

I used to use the "prop" method for years and it did a wonderful job. the problem comes in with heavy gaming (witcher i.e.), Now the gpu is being called to produce more work than normal, and now the prop method is moot. I have minimal space to work in my office, so putting a "desk" fan, regardless of how small, is not practical. Having a "decent" pad under it, seems to do that trick, while it will still get hot, the constant cool air will keep it manageable. Keep in mind with any pad, it doesn't need to be on 24/7, just when there is a call for demand. Gaming? If you still need a fan, then you need some work to do: Take apart the laptop, clean the fans, or something. Outside of gaming, laptops should perform just fine. Especially if they are not "technically" a gaming laptop.

[@jerry.196]

Before buying a laptop cooling pad firstly check from where The fan sucking air from down or sides. As I have Asus notebook and it's fan is almost in the centre so I just placed a rectangular box at the back of my laptop and use it an angle maker. So, now the airflow is damn good and my laptop remains at a good temperature but if I want to do some heavy work life trading video editing or gaming which is sure done for hours non stop. Then should go for the cooling pads which are made up of alluminium and has holes in it. Then you will see that the bottom stays chill. And one more thing there is a cool pad(a sticker kinda thing) which Asus company applies or stick's on the amd chips and that sticker kinda thing is thick and is needed to be replaced within a yr. I got these tricks from the asus engineer here in India. Hope this may help you and save save your £$€¥.

[@Xantylon74]

A cooling stand will work much better, on a gaming laptop with large openings at the bottom. The fans suck air from the bottom a squeeze it out to the back and/or the side, under a closed office type laptop it can not work so well, of course. If you only have 1 or 2 openings at the bottom the best cooler needs to be directly under the fans blowing fresh air into, otherwise it will not work. And you have to compare the temperature differcence under the same workload at idle. If the laptop is cooler, the processore under stress will likely not throttle so much, but almost reach the same temperature as before, so you could think the coler does nothing, but it does.

The only downside of cooling pads is that it brings dust into the vents which can cause more problems and damage the CPU and GPU fans. However, the IETS GT500 is a better solution because it has anti-dust filters that blocks the dust as it blows some air into the bottom vents of the laptop.

[@shion7343]

People say it’s very loud. What’s your experience?

[@nmbtw1003]

@@shion7343 ofc its gonna be loud its fucking 5k rpm, get a headset lmao

[@ThatOneGuyC]

@@nmbtw1003 Yeah, but even at 50% fan speed it can cool your components down by 10C if noise is an issue. And at 100% all you need is some good headphones which basically make the fan unhearable when audio is playing.

[@bigbadjohnpesek9894]

I use them for my android boxes and they work great. I also sit my 2 tb hard drive connected to my android boxes on the cooling pad. I can feel the difference.

[@HaSaN-de8sr]

the main question is do this cooling pad affect on the battery and make it draining fast ? if i (only put the laptop on ac adapter 220v all the time so i don't use battery ) but if the battery is plugged in and i was runnign laptop on ac adapter will the battery affect bad ? plz help me and reply me i am going ot buy a new one

[@joa721]

Dude you have Netter's book ! That is fascinating ❤

[@MrFunnyMint]

Well I just unscrew bottom panel that was covering Ram slots and Hard disc slot and use cooling pad under that. That worked about 40% better than with covers

[@polo50731]

For me I'm trying to revive my 2018 hp laptop the model didn't come with a fan and I been doing research and it said I have to hook up a fan on the bottom of the board but can't still find the connector so I been doing research about a cooling pad to prevent me dismantling my laptop each time, so I think I'ma find a cooling pad until I know where to connect my fan at.

[@CruentusCruor]

💻 Thank you 💻 I never thought about them vents!! ^_^ Subscribed!! Cheers!!

[@davidcox692]

the cooling pads do they have a cable to run them or do they run off the computer

[@melvinfused]

air vents on bottom are intake, on sides are exhaust, and if on top like some asus rog & tuf thats another intake.

[@kicker8641]

I was planning on getting one but I looked at the laptop and all the vents are on the side and I had the exact thought that you mentioned, how do I know if I am not shoving air in the exhaust. Thanks for saving me the money

[@AllTheOthers]

Before I even watch the video, that title is supremely clickbait so I'll surmise something very important. My credentials. A while ago, I was interested in thermo-dynamics because I want to build fucking jets. Okay lets move on. Basically, air needs to move. Got it? So, if the air isn't fucking going anywhere it does nothing. This means laptops with no ventilation beneath will have no effect with these cooling trays, they are just fancy trays that allow you to put the laptop on your physical lap. HOWEVER! These open designed fan trays are much better than solid flat fanless trays. Because these actually disperse heat over a broad area. Meaning if you run hot and you game a lot (like me) you'll see a slight improvement V.s. the ones that are just flat plastic to prevent them from burning your lap. Furthermore, if you have a laptop that actually does have ventilation on the bottom, you will see (In celcius, I don't do F), a few degrees of improvement over no cooling tray at all. I personally got a 20 buck random piece of shit chinese cooling tray cause I couldn't afford any decent ones. This thing actually does drop my temp while gaming about 4-5 C and about 6-7 while idle. From 30c idle to 23-25. To 90C to about 83-86 (I know, its absurdly high, but its not the actual CPU temp, its the temp of the massive heat sink, its hard to explain but its absorbing the heat from both the GPU and the CPU, my CPU is overclocked, I know the risks, and I have carefully researched my CPU to see what abuse it can take, it never goes over 100 and never gets to anything actually scary. Also I am a sadist.) Meanwhile I also got one of these things that actually work that basically externally pull air through your laptop, this thing has dropped it another 5 or so while idle to the point I get 19-20 while idle, and 81-84 while gaming in ideal temperature conditions. Its summer right now, so the air in my room is absurdly hot. Yet I am still running regularly below 90c on an overclocked super hardcore CPU. Basically, do what works for you scientifically. Be smart. Be logical. Think before you buy. The way basic air cooling works even for jet engines is that the air has to be moving. The faster its moving, the more heat is gonna get pulled away from the engine, (but at a certain point you do see an increase in heat due to friction, but thats besides the point and we won't be seeing those kinds of speeds in any of these devices) Don't expect more than 1~5 degrees of cooling from any external device. Thats what they are for, to just barely get your cooling into comfortable limits. My laptop can still run below 100 without any external accessories on its own internal fans, especially when its not fucking summer and I am on the same longitude as the middle fucking east. And it can even get below 80 on lower settings, or with less taxing programs, or more optimized programs. If its not overclocked, I imagine it would only reach 50s and 60s, and get high 70s at most.

[@TechPhD]

Yeah...not gonna read all that, but congratulations or I'm sorry that happened g 👍🏽

[@LegendaryXXL]

I only use the cooling pads whenever i play with a charger plugged in. The one being cooled by the pad is the charger.

[@memeguyTM]

Best way is to raise it and remove the laptop case because it's clear many manufacturers like Dell think it's cool to make a laptop so thin that it overheats so bad and then don't accept that the laptop is flawed.

[@HikingFeral]

The best thing about these is not the fans, people are getting their device off a soft pillow or lap and putting it on a solid surface where cool air can circulate, whenever I open HW monitor and realise I'm at 98c it's because my laptop is mashed into a pillow suffocating it. A chopping board will work just as well.

[@cristinagiurgiu3701]

Hey there, this is the first day that a have cooling pad for my gaming laptop. i will see in the future how this will be, with the gaming performance and how the laptop will work. The cooler has stage speeds of cooling.

[@BlazeBogs]

i like your informative videos

[@TechPhD]

Thank you for watching! I appreciate it 🙏🏾

[@sayed5844]

4:22 you are wrong the laptops will suck air at the bottom and let the air at the sides so blowing the air from the bottom will increase the air flow

[@Posh_Quack]

These would make most sense for laptops that don't have fans

[@UtopssAKAPJ]

💻 saying comment, like and subscribe to help the channel mid-video and not at the start of the video I respect that

[@TechPhD]

I appreciate your support! Thank you for watching 😁✨

[@syedhisham2594]

the laptop doesn't blow the air down... it takes the air from the bottom... so the bottom is actually the intake and it is exhausted from behind the laptop so blowing air does make sense

[@atletasound]

we have the same green external HDD - Mine is 1TB :)))) Cool video Bro

[@TechPhD]

That's awesome! Mine is also 1TB, thanks for watching the video!

[@drydreams8513]

Drill holes I’m not joking works all the time every time. Use 1/16 to 1/8 drill bits max unless you are going to install a mesh but mesh is extra work just use a 1/16th inch drill bit if you are really concerned about dust or hair or whatever u r scared of getting in your laptop. I have two laptops with holes I made in them one is 5 or 6years old still runs no issues and the new one is 2years old no issues as well after drilling holes. Feel where it gets hot on the case mark it remove case draw a nice little pattern and start drilling holes and clean the shavings afterwards and put it back together worst case scenario u don’t like the results u buy a new back case they are cheap $20:$30 but you are going to like it every thing just runs smoothly and faster for longer less fan noise and the fans don’t kick on hard as much as before and return to a minimum speed faster when they do turn on

[@eugenjellynica3996]

I got my cooler under 10 bucks and it's amazingly worth it. It's new condition.

[@Krogzaxants]

Thank you for sharing. Just orderer IceAge laptop cooler with 6 fans.

[@Momsbelt]

i have aa cooling pad, and i am really happy wit it: the cooling pad is loud but the noise can be adjusted to medium, so it doesnt make much noise, my lag was only cus of the laptop struggling and overheating, i just put new thermal paste, and i put the fan on medium and it worked, my game was affected in a good way. I love it alot, and my cooling pad also has a stand, and my laptop airflow is on the side but under too, and my cooling pad also has some thingy that puts the air in the side too. its really effective, i literally got it off of a supermarket, it was the last one they had LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gwugluud]

One of these had no effect at all on my laptops' heat levels. When I switched to a device which blows air across it from the rear instead of into the bottom, that made an appreciable difference.

[@galinalakova4192]

Could you recommend a model? Thank you!

[@mistypikku]

if i make my room -10^oC will that improve my performace

[@PoeticWhiz]

Great video bro

[@TechPhD]

Thanks for watching Aabid!

[@joshh2317]

Really good point there bro with the export fans on the bottom with import fans messing with the flow…. I have an Msi raider (pretty highly specked out though) so she gets HOT when I’m playing 7 days to die or ark on max settings. However my computer has import fans on the bottom with export in the back and the sides so I think this would probably work well for me i tried the whole prop it up (only I used for nicotine pouch packs lol) and it works well but it can be flimsy if I was to move the computer in literally any direction…. So that’s annoying actually I just took them off today and put it back how it was when I got it I’m gonna do more testing soon but I want something to help keep this baby cool and to help dust from building inside the computer as I live in a dusty environment unfortunately….

[@shammendraeshwar433]

I have an acer aspire 7,i gamed the hell out of it as it had an gtx1650, i didn't pay attention to the airflow or temps ,then the heating issues started,after replacing thermal paste,adding another 8gig stick of ram,i understood the importance of laptop stands,got one of those cheap aluminum once on Amazon,and undervolted my cpu via throttlestop,now the laptop runs a bit cooler.tldr:- pay attention to the thermals and airflow.i wish i have known these things beforehand.

[@KevinK3vin0]

What if my laptop's only source of ventilation is through the speakers which are below it?

[@sabrixv15s51]

you bro i use vantilator for cooling my laptop and it works really good
