Review - AeroActive Cooler X for ROG Phone 8 series

[@jamescampbell5734]

I definitely need this thing. I sometimes play games outside in the hot sun, and my old ROG phone 5 regularly breached 50 degrees C, and the old cooler with only the fan wasn't good enough to cool it down. And the physical buttons are just super helpful for some games. I love this thing!

[@한태영-f1d]

Its ok with removing the buttons but they must not remove the subwoofer since they downgrade the speakers...

[@noorgaloody9781]

Hey, can you consider the game "Carx street" in your gaming tests, its a pretty heavy game to run.

[@Alicelady1984]

We need extra base and sound quality 😢

[@sc9433]

everything is a downgrade except for the new devil aero case. wish rog7 had that case, so i wont have to keep swapping cases when i leave home. The original aeroactive case is a nightmare to remove without exerting some force and scratching the phone. Will be keeping my "7" and boombass cooler for a while until asus pivot back to its original target audiences.

[@a_a3595]

The real question is does it fit for other Rog??

[@NasiLemakTech]

Watch the video

[@sparkzbarca]

I think as far as is it needed it would be useful if you could test it in higher ambient temps. And importantly during charging. I often find that especially if your trying to charge and game your phone will go off in throttle

[@tonywayne29]

The air triggers on rog phone 8 are shit. They are not reliable and longer press is a problem. They pushed an update to increase the sensitivity but it did not help much. Its still very unreliable for FPS games. None of the youtube channels are talking about it. I feel so cheated coming from rog phone 5

[@gegamed681]

What about now in summer? On hot days how hot is rog 8? My rog 3 is when i use it, around 40 degrees now because the temperature are hot too, with cooler i can get down to 35 degrees

[@SIR1mg]

thanks! just got it today))

[@dhruvishparmar7029]

Guys i habe the rog phone 8 and actually i played car x street right now and i felt my phone hot when i checked in armoury crate it says the phone is 47° is it normal and happens on all the phones or just mine

[@kellerythiha2295]

Mine too on my 8 pro. X mode off. Playing ps2 emulator temperature rise up to 49°

[@topcatalpha1]

Would be nice if asus made a double fan cooler plate the size of the phone, but very thin and with additional buttons. Then i would buy it, because it would remain portable and fit in a pocket.

I'm still keen to get thise. Would be really nice to just have one device to play emulation on, I'll be able to sell off my Switch and not want to get a steam deck.

[@MarkChen-v9w]

I heard that the AirTriggers are not as responsive as they should be. Problems include delay of deactivation when lifting after a long press, and getting wrongly activated by touching areas near the AirTriggers. They say it's hard to press, or that it needs a lot of force to register. Is this true?

[@NasiLemakTech]

Correct. I experienced this too

[@Thelasthaho]

@@NasiLemakTech its performance level for x mode like cpu and gpu .. can you seey last video i record the screen

[@zulucodyt]

I have the ROG6, the ROG7 and this new ROG8. I think this phone is not ready, something is wrong with the software in its current state. The air triggers are slow and sometimes randomly responsive. No matter what I do, how I adjust the sensitivity or anything in the settings. Believe me I have tried everything. I will stick to the ROG7 until they fix ROG8. If you are planning to buy this phone, I don't think it's a good choice, at least I am disappointed and a little bit angry at myself because I bought it.

[@MarkChen-v9w]

@@zulucodyt I already bought it. It's a tough sell. I've never used any gaming phone and this is my first gaming phone. But even though previous generations are better, it's hard for me to go for a lower performing phone.

[@zulucodyt]

@@MarkChen-v9w thx to god, there is not so much noticable difference between my ROG7 and 8, I only bought it to have Snapdragon gen3 and to not overuse my ROG7. So I will just stop using it until the fix is available. If they can not fix it in about a month, I will simply set it on fire, burn it and record the whole process for a YT video.

[@qqqvvv5435]

Can i use it on Rog 3?

[@Tsukina-Music]

Is there a way to make the aeroactive cooler keep on even though we turn off the screen?

[@NasiLemakTech]

Nope.

[@totoototo1192]

Correction. Aeroactive cooler is included in ROG Phone 8 Pro 1TB only. It is not included in the 512gb version.

[@NasiLemakTech]

That's the ROG Phone 8 Pro Edition

I don't understand why they took off two buttons when the older fan had four

[@NasiLemakTech]

Same. I ask the same question

[@ynsignia]

ROG 8 Pro already have a fancy box, minus the cooler and pouch.

[@NasiLemakTech]

Yea

[@battavero]

@NasiLemakTech great video in terms of performance (not just peak performance but also stability) which phone is better between this rog phone8 (with xmode but without cooler) and redmagic 9 pro in diablo mode(with fan on)? also, did you found any bug in redmagic os 14? thank you very much keep it up

[@NasiLemakTech]

I have never tried the Red Magic, to be honest. I can't comment on that. I'm still worried about having a fan in a phone though. Dust - and especially pocket lint - can't be cleaned easily.

[@joshuaisikalu747]

People forger thar the redmagic also has its own coolers, 2 in fact, clip and magnetic and the magnetic has its own case, and they cool better than the aeroactive coolers

[@LX_B]

​@@NasiLemakTechI m using red magic for almost 5 years now ... And there is no issue related to dust and stuff

[@NasiLemakTech]

@@LX_B yeah and no IP rating either

[@kitsune2712]

​@@NasiLemakTech so true im afraid to buy it because of that fan because my environment is prone to dust accumulation but im glad rog 8 pro is IP 68 so i bought it instead. Red magic need to have IP 6 to protect that fan

[@theparadoxray]

Thanks for the video. I want to ask if you can test the cooler buttons whilst paying Call of duty mobile, does the game think you are using a controller (the lobby would tell you) thanks. :)

[@M3foo1]

It doesn't. I have the 6 and it doesn't recognize it as a controller. It's apart of the phone and you map the buttons so it's like you're touching the screen

[@llldionysoslll]

That is clear, huge downgrade for rog phone series 🤕

[@shipsinker9108]

Yeah i couldn't agree more 😔

[@Baleygrr]

I love the 8 Pro.

[@Kasonkaikai]

Hello guys.... Where can i buy active cooler 7 in asia ?

[@optimusaaron]

the devilcase is a bummer... why make it like that when there's already a case specifically for it right out of the box... gotta opt for 3rd party protective casing for daily use then. unlike the previous gens 6 & 7, the devilcase is pretty good for daily & rough use

[@Metalshark100]

The devilcase shown in the video seems like a compatible model for the aeroactive cooler. I got my devilcase for the rog phone 8 today and it's much more heavy duty than the one shown in the video. But not compatible with the cooler.

[@megatron4612]

Can you use it on other phone? For example iphone 13 promax or is there any recomended cooler instead this that are good quality?

[@3ckstermus]

cannot. due to the type C port from the aeroactive cooler extruding out l. can only be connected to a phone with side type c charging port.

[@bakerdeathwish88]

Can you use it with the stock case??

[@stargazinguwu]

Hi NL Tech, in the box for the rog phone 8 include a transparent case. Does it work on the aeroactive cooler x ?

Nope. Only the ROG Phone 8 Pro Edition comes with that bikini case
