UPDATE -- After having streamed with it, like the IETS 600, it's not a perfect solution my computer still runs pretty hot. I'd say maybe there's a 5-10% reduction in temps, I crank it up to about 1800 rpm for gaming/streaming.I do believe this fan is quieter than the IETS 600, another reason to pick this one up.Per the original review below, the power button is rather unpredictable to operate, it usually doesn't work, I'll live with it. Otherwise the color changing buttons are fun, but I can't turn the LEDs off, no key combo I can find does that.--------------Original review:I had a "cheap" cooler over the years, but lately I'm trying to stream and play games on my laptop. It's a gaming laptop, and it ran really hot, certainly hot enough to get CPU throttling at times, though I never tested for that. We're talking Core Temp reporting peaks of 100 degrees and average temps in the 80s-90s.At rest, with the Llano fan at 1000 rpm, my Laptop 3060 GPU is reporting 37 degrees, as opposed to 48 degrees on the old cooling stand. (the old one is a Thermaltake you can't get anymore)I haven't gamed/streamed yet with the Llano cooling pad, I'm mostly writing this review to constrast this with the IETS 600 cooler using the same MSI Pulse GL76 laptop.BUTTONS -- the plusThe reason I returned the IETS 600 cooler, it was working (not as well as the Llano at idle, though). But the button drove me crazy! They are "solid state buttons" meaning there's no movement in the button. It's just sensing your fingertip. On the IETS 600, all three buttons are like this. You'll read below why my laptop was overhanging these buttons, but it was frustratingly impossible to make the buttons do what I wanted on the IETS600.Much improved design is on the Llano cooler pad here, yes the on off button is a bit tricky and honestly as I write this I can't turn the thing off. But the fan control is a roller button, it's great! I can control the fan speed exactly where I want this running, no fuss, no frustration. Honestly I can live with the power button I'll just turn the fan down to 300 when the laptop is off, if I can't get the power button to work.And I have had issues with iPads in the past where at most angles my finger isn't recognized, so maybe I'm weird and the buttons will be fine for you.FIT - a minus on both cooling pads, but you can make it workHere's the real problem with these coolers and they can't really "fix it" unless they make a new foam piece for different laptops. Before you buy this, check out the bottom of your laptop. Do the cooling vents come to the edge of the base of your laptop? Then let's hope it's only on one edge, otherwise this cooler won't work for you.Basically, you set your laptop on the foam base and it makes an air seal. That means ideally there's at least about a 1/2" edge with no cooling vents around the base of your laptop. In my case, on the left side, the vents come right to the edge. In the back, they are within 3/8" of the laptops "rear edge" (the rear base is not a straight line on these MSIs).So this seems to work, I have the laptop barely sitting on the foam in the back, not at all sitting on the foam on the left side (just butted up against the foam to make a seal) and the bulk of the weight is on the right and front edges of the base.But your mileage may vary and you may find you can't use this type of cooler, depending on how funky your laptop base is.RISK -- don't blow up your built in fansIf your laptop is anything like mine, apparently the fans are regular maintenance item, like brakes on your car. You just expect them to go out. Mine did after two years, and I replaced them recently.Now think about what this cooling does, it forces air into your laptop. If you force air into your laptop at a high enough rate, you create positive air pressure (higher than ambient pressure). If you are pushing air into your laptop so fast that there's positive pressure, then you're probably making your laptop's fans race along faster than they want to go. I would assume there's a point where the air being moved through the laptop, at higher rpms, will be too much.Bottom Line...So bottom line I strongly recommend this model even with the issues related to funky laptop bases where the cooling vents come to the edge. It cools my laptop a bunch at idle, I'm sure it will work as well as the the IETS 600 or better, but I'll maybe update this once I stream/game with this setup.

I bought this for my gaming laptop. When I first got my laptop, I used it for a few hours before having to shut it off because, ow, my fingers were burning. So I did research and came across this. This is so worth it. You can’t beat it. The price is amazing. My laptop has never even been warm. I swear it asked me for a blanket the other day lol. I love this thing, and it’s a great investment. As to be expected the higher the fan, the higher the noise, but I’ll take it over an overheated, broken laptop. Additionally, the touch control panel makes it easy to adjust fan speed on the fly, and the built-in 3-port USB hub is a convenient feature for connecting peripherals without occupying extra laptop ports. The sealed foam design ensures efficient airflow directly to the laptop’s vents, enhancing cooling performance. Overall, this cooling pad has significantly improved my gaming experience by keeping my laptop cool and performing optimally. Highly recommended for anyone looking to protect their investment and enjoy uninterrupted gaming sessions.

My gaming laptop becomes uncomfortably hot, gpu temps 151°F and higher. More so as ambient temperatures rise above 80°. The Llano cooling fan worked immediately with no perceptible heat coming from the laptop.Adjustable fan speed 300-2800 RPM. On its lowest setting it is very efficient. The fan noise becomes overwhelming at slightly higher RPM settings,Deafening at 1,200 2800, forget about it.The included power supply is required. The cable connection to the laptop is not. Convenient controls front center: On/Off, lighting, and a roller adjustment for fan speed.The assembly raises the laptop height about 2-1/2”. It requires a flat surface to use. The foam gasket does the trick. I have a 16” laptop and a smaller size laptop may require precise laptop placement. The RGB lights easily extinguished from the control switch.Would highly recommend.
