That's a massive difference in temperature. The foam seal around the bottom of the laptop/top of the cooler is probably the secret sauce to this cooler's phenomenal performance. Cheers Dave.

[@MashITTech]

Yes, I had never seen one with foam and was a bit concerned until I started using it!

[@cleyt973]

Fun fact I took my cheap deep cool x6 and surrounded the 2 big fans with a foam tape and now my msi pulse 15 (i7 13620h /4070) is now fresh 😊 for few bucks 😅😅😅😅😅.

Yiu need to buy a cooler but you should have bought a desktop in the first place

[@Mikisoq39]

Let's hope all the other cooler pad producers start doing this.

[@Atlink]

The reason this cooler works is specifically because of the gasket. If you have a fan pushing air into a space that is sealed, and the only way to get the air out is to push it through the vents on the laptop, well there you go. With other open coolers, this just blows air at the bottom of the laptop, but doesn't really have air forced through the vents. Couple the gasket with a powerful fan, and you're pushing ludicrous amounts of air through those vents that the built in fans could only dream of.

[@rossdev]

I like using laptop coolers mostly to keep the back of the laptop raised and secondly for the ergonomics to try and keep the screen at eye level. Anything else beyond that is a bonus! Great review as ever thanks

[@MashITTech]

Thanks mate :)

[@frappy3300]

I picked up an Alienware m15 R4 some time ago and discovered your channel through that review. The laptop has been performing well, but it tends to get quite hot, even with the ThrottleStop tweak. I’ve seen other reviews of this cooler, and it seems great, so winning this prize and trying it out on my laptop would be nice❤

Did you ever use it with a razer Blade? I know Razer had a different method of exhausting heat. Did you see any improvements?

[@lolidasterner414]

I like how things discussed in the comments are usually implemented a month later. From what i know the ielts 500 and 600 are the most efficient in this category with 15 to 20 degrees difference. This one is very similar to it.

[@MashITTech]

Thank you mate, I do try. Do you think I should buy a few of the most popular coolers and compare them all?

[@lolidasterner414]

​​​​​​​@@MashITTechnot at all . Most coolers with 2 or 3 fans are mostly uselless in 100 % load scenarios and sometimes hinder airflow. They are good for idle scenarios. The ones with this fan design that simulates a turbine are the ones worthly enough for a xx60 and higher laptop gpu. I am thinking of gifting such a cooler pad to my brother who uses an omen 16 with an 2m hdmi and external monitor.

[@MashITTech]

Well, I am considering getting about 5 of the most popular and testing them. If the give away is popular may put them up for grabs too 😃

[@lolidasterner414]

@@MashITTech the i would advise using the llano , the ielts if you manage to find it in the european market ( i know that it existed 2 months ago in the netherlands and Germany because its a usa mostly model ) and 3 of the most used amazon cooler pads. But the point of the comparison should be the ratio of noise - performance that a human is able to accept.

Yup, that is exactly the plan. I am also interested to see how the cheaper models compare to the more expensive models. Thanks for the input 👍

Doesn't that foam block intakes on big laptops? (asking for my Alienware M18R1)

[@MashITTech]

No not at all and I did test on the blade 18" the foam does not block the intakes and because it seals it, makes sure the intakes are getting pure cool air. I was a bit worried myself when I first took it out of the box, I had never seen a laptop cooler with foam before

[@marksadler4457]

One of my concerns is with the squared foam "O ring" on top. Will it actually cover some of the underside vents on my Alienware X17? :) But, at least it will match my laptop's aesthetic. Thanks for another video I can use.

[@MashITTech]

I was also concerned when I pulled it out of the box, I had never seen a laptop cooler with foam before. Fortunately it works well by sealing the laptop onto the cooler and then ensures the laptop is getting only the cool air being pushed into the air intakes

[@-ChannelHub-]

This will be an excellent option for any gaming laptop for a cooling pad, ive seen many videos of people using this with great experiences on it, definitely grabbing one in the near future. 😎👍

[@Separatist-General-Grievous]

What laptops would you recommend for £1000 or slightly more? I want to be able to game and video edit and that's about it. It should have a GPU (hopefully Nvidia 40 series), CPU (Ryzen or Intel 14th gen), 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD? I know its a bit ambitious but is there any particular laptop that can be attained for this price point.

[@gto2084]

my only concern about the alienware m18 r1 is the motherboard mounted backwards where the heat pipes are under the keyboard and not under the case...let's see at most I'll return it

[@MashITTech]

It still draws more air in from the bottom than the top so this should give you a nice improvement.

[@UB7412]

Can someone help me? I'm staying in a dorm and I want to use a laptop while people are sleeping. Do 300-500 rpm sounds make a lot of noise? I don't want to disturb sleeping people

Hello. How were the temperatures on the Razer Blade 16 & 18? I ask because I have a Razer Blade 15 Advanced 2021 and am curious in how much it may drop the temps. I haven't seen anyone do the laptop cooler test of the IETS or Ilano on the Razer Blades. Thank you!

[@aljosacebokli]

Just ordered one yesterday for my razer blade 16, for that dust protection if nothing else, though I'm confident it will also have a great cooling effect. What people have been doing with razers on reddit is to cut of a portion of the foam on the very back so that the horizontal exhaust vents are not sealed shut by the foam.

[@RAM512]

Thank you for all the information. I am very impressed with thus cooler, but you are the only one that actual mentioned, it would indeed fit my 18" laptop! Thank you!!

[@dontemailme560]

Yeah, it fits but it may not give the best results because the vents may be closed due to the foam being made to fit smaller PCs. Not sure though

[@karlosthehawk3730]

Would it damage the fans in the laptop because av seen on other videos it may make the laptop fans turn the other way and end up damaging the internal fans completely

[@shambhangal438]

This looks like positive testing of one product, and the product being reviewed is the most expensive one on the market. The advantages of the llano seem to be the high powered fan and the foam surround. Looking at @1.15 on the video, the foam is not stuck down and simply rests on the cooler, so you could have just put it on a cheap cooler and seen how much difference it makes. Off that revelation, I bought a technet (cheapest decent standard laptop cooler on Amazon) and put rubber draught excluder (not foam and not the stuff that looks like fur) around the area my Acer Predator Helios would sit on over the fan grill on the Technet, thus sealing the laptop to the cooler, forcing the air through the laptop. The cheap technet went from not working to dropping 6C from the max temp on the GPU! Previously maxxed out at 81C (running stable diffusion), now a much less worrying 75C, which is closer to 'well ventilated desktop temps' for the RTX3080 in the Acer. Looks like the llano drops still x3 of my modded solution because of the more powerful fan specifically designed to create a pressure differential, but the llano is also more than x3 the cost, much bulkier and not very portable, and needs its own PSU (no ability to use USB from the laptop so even less portable)… and dropping 6C for 20 quid seem like enough (and a better deal!) anyway. So yeah, look at reviews, but be wary of ones that look like positives-only reviews of a single product and push you to the most expensive option vs a little bit of thinking out of the box. You might save some money. EDIT - for the rubber draught excluder tape I used, search Amazon UK with 'B0BXP1MDGZ'. Seems a lot more durable than the cheap foam the llano uses... maybe they should upgrade it to flexible PVC or rubber!

[@Digitalmedia4less]

I purchased an older version of this manufactured laptop cooler, and it looks pretty much like this one, and let me tell you, it really works. It's beautiful and powerful. I love the RGB lighting and extra ports on it. It's my daily driver and the fan is still running like new, and it's been over a year now since I purchased mine. Great review 👏 👌🏾 👍🏾.

With DLSS, no frame gen, it did have higher FPS in the 230s...not that I cared. DLAA does look better and I still get solid 120ish. Anso, do you want to lock it to gsysnc, your monitor?

I got myself the IETS GT600, which is similar to the Llano cooler in the video, and it is the single biggest upgrade I have ever done to my laptop. I went from constant thermal throttling to a cool 70 degrees Celsius under full load and power draw. FPS has never been so stable, and I get to push all my components to the max. Forget about RAM upgrades or laptop feet, a cooler like this is the only way to go for full power. You will be surprised when you suddenly gain 50-100 FPS in games you thought you maxed out your PC on.

How big is the foam on this particular cooler? I have an IETS gt500 for my asus rog strix g17 but even with jist the outer ring i had to cut away a slight bit of foam so the intakes on the bottom weren't blocked at all on either side.

The point here is when you keep in over a desk. The air doesn't have anywhere to go as the vents gets covered by the desk or table where it's kept. Gaming laptops have fans with 6000-8000rpm. All you need is a stand where there is no middle part. So that when the fan runs. It the air does not get blocked. Like it does when kept on a table or desk.

It wasn't that I wasn't impressed, I was more disappointed. I absolutely loved the x16r1 and the x16r2 is almost identical which is my problem, the CPU is more efficient but not as powerful as previous r1 13th gen. And all the other manufacturers are using better screen options, now there is nothing wrong with the current screen but having a 500 nit version would have been much much better plus maybe a mini LED or OLED option. Either way, I love the x16, I just think Dell have been very very lazy this year. With regards to heat, I think I just got unlucky, hope yours has better thermals

@@MashITTech yea a better screen option would’ve been nice. I like to game in a darker room to began with so screen isn’t too much of an issue with me although having a brighter screen as an option would’ve been nice. And thank you I hope my thermals won’t be an issue

[@k1cs1m3a8]

Would it help for the razer blade 16 as well? As it has vapor chamber cooling ??

[@MashITTech]

Yes, it certainly helps but the reduction was not as impressive as on the legion for some reason!

[@k1cs1m3a8]

@@MashITTech yeah, as not much airflow for the external fan. Thats why i was thinking to get the zephyrus g16 oled rtx 4080 instead of the razer blade 16 oled.

[@MashITTech]

I havent been able to get my hands on a G16 yet but they do look amazing

[@alpha777omega]

I've watched a lot of videos on these laptop coolers, and I've come to the conclusion that the Llano V12 and the IETS GT600V2 are the best premium laptop coolers. IETS edges out Llano a bit and has more features: more RGB modes, magnetic foam pad, higher elevation stand etc. but Llano definitely wins in the drip department, it looks so good. Looking forward to buying either one of those for my ROG Strix G16, when their prices drop a bit.

Thank you friend, subscribed. Additional like for wrigting temperatures for each test like this 9:09 on the right 🙏 First person who did this and it makes difference 100% Good test. If I will win pad, if it’s not too late - want this pad to be gifted and sent to someone in Indonesia (or who really need it in any other country and has hard times getting/buying it). Already ordered it, have a hope that my first delivery from abroad, from Amazon will be successful 😅 and I will be already owner of this hopefully working 😅 awesome device. Really big gratitude to Llano!

[@franciscogerbolingo6188]

I think this is the best laptop cooler this year. More power to ur channel Sir.

[@curtisritchie3383]

Thanks for the review! I just ordered the IET GT626. Any good cooler will help. Obviously some are better than others. Keep up the great work!

[@yuliia-san5609]

Congratulations! I heard it’s great too

[@arielelijah1282]

for those who bought llano v12 without rgb then fear not just buy a smart rgb with bluetooth led that sync with your phone music then connect it to a power supply. There you go an Ilano V12 with smart RGB.

[@Alex_Hoss]

Fantastic review. In fact I've watched a ton of your videos this week and the quality of them all is amazing, great work. Would you recommend this cooling pad for the Legion 9i, or would that be a bad idea given the intake on the top of the keyboard? Thanks

[@MashITTech]

Thank you mate. The legion 9i still takes a lot of air through its bottom intakes so it will certainly improve temps though maybe not quite as well as the Legion Pro 7i

[@Alex_Hoss]

@@MashITTech That’s perfect, thank you I really appreciate it. I’ve just picked up the RGB version using one of your Amazon UK links 🙏

[@f1shs4lmon]

Should have also compared this to just a simple rack that lifts the laptop up from the desk. Could also try just removing the bottom plate of the laptop and put it directly onto the cooler lol. Did you also notice a edcrease in fan speed of the laptop fans with the cooler?

[@MashITTech]

I am going to do a follow up video soon with a few more coolers and in that video I will also compare just raising the laptop and also using a stand with out fans at all. And yes, the fans didn't spin up as much on the laptop but with the noise from the cooler you would hardly notice

[@lost6872]

Man, this would make my set up run a lot more nice. I live in a pretty dusty place, so a cooling pad like that would be super helpful.

[@keksw.1595]

Could you please tell me the dimensions of the Liano V12 Thank you

[@MashITTech]

Will take a look when I get in the office tomorrow

[@toddmetzger]

Impressive help with the heat that is generated. My laptop always runs on the hotter side. This would be a bonus in helping even the worst cooled laptop with airflow.

[@PaulSmith-ip4js]

Great video Dave I appreciate the review as I've been using a ~10yr old lap desk and have been looking for a good replacement. The Legion you got looks very similar to the one I got after returning my Alienware x16 r2 after you put out that review. It's the Legion 7 pro with an i9 13900k and 4090. Cheers!

[@MashITTech]

yes, almost the same, mine is the 4080 version so will have the same TDP. I was more than surprised with the difference it makes, it can get quite loud though so I kept it at 800rpm when gaming. I am going to buy a few more top picks from amazon for a follow video as I have had a lot of requests

[@cmitchell3410]

I would like to see how that works with an Alienware m18 R1.

[@MashITTech]

sadly I didn't have an m18 on hand when I tested it

[@icecorebaby]

I wish this cooler worked on my razor blade 16 which is didn’t because the vents on the bottom upper right and left side.

[@Modellbau-Kanal]

These are surprisingly good values ind protects the laptop with the filter and also cools the batteries. That would be for but I never win... 😩 I like your channel and test so much. Regards Andy

[@S.Al-Katheeri]

The best cooling pad ever for laptop, im using it few months now, it dramatically helps reduce the temperature and keep ur laptop cool all the time even with heavy gaming. A must have for gaming laptop. 🎉🎉🎉

[@AlexanderBourlotos]

I’ve been looking at the Legion 7i pro Gen 9 4080 or 4090. It’s cool to see that a cooler like this actually makes such a difference! Great review!

[@AlexanderBourlotos]

Update: I found a deal on a 2023 Legion Pro 7i gen 8 4080 and have one now lol. If I don’t win giveaway I’m definitely going to order something like it.

[@melloyellobello4268]

That's a huge difference! I have a Klim Ultimate at the moment but I'm considering switching because my rog strix scar is still burning

[@chester0608ye]

Like the design of that air filter for the fan. I have several lap top cooler and the accumulated dust is a pain to clean. This fan is insane...

[@TheSonoranSniper]

huh, I wonder what's next putting vacuums by the exhaust vents?

[@MashITTech]

Man, that sounds like a good idea 🤣 you don't have to run it at a high speed and in all honesty I don't even know why they let it go to 2800rpm

[@Kamara2203]

Very interesting review! Love to see how they compare to having just a normal laptop stand and seeing whether spending the extra £££ for a cooling pad is worth it!

[@MashITTech]

I am going to do a follow up video with the top 5 or so amazon coolers and also just raised or on a stand to find out

[@Kamara2203]

@@MashITTech Great idea will be really helpful. Thank you

[@kurosagi001]

Would be cool to compare it against my IET GT500 and I know they offer a white variant, so maybe they can give us an option to get a white version of the V12? :)

[@MashITTech]

A few people have mentioned the IET now so I am going to see if I can get hold of it and a few other popular coolers and put them all head to head. And let me ask Llano, I am sure they won't mind which colour they send

[@MrKaos1985]

Hello, does a 18 inch laptop (asus scar 18) fit on the cooler?

[@ArtVincentRobles]

Just broke my cooler, looking for a new one them this video pops up. Thanks for the review

Hi @mash IT Is this big enough for an Alienware M18 R2?
