RazerLaptop Cooling Pad: Adaptive Smart - Intelligent Fan Control - Airtight Pressure Chamber - Fits Most Laptops & Macbooks 14” to 18" - Preset & Custom Fan Curves - 3 Port USB Type A - Chroma RGB

I got this Razer laptop cooling pad for my 18" Acer Predator Helios. I will say it isn't a perfect fit. However, it does work and keep my laptop cooler. Setup was quick and easy, and that included a firmware update. Just follow the on-screen instructions and reboot.6 month update: this cooler has worked great. I cleaned the filter and its been keeping my laptop cooler clean. Software works great and controls are too. Overall happy.Only con is I think its overpriced but my main reason was keep all my peripherals Razer since all of them have been flawless.Leds are only on the front. It would have been cool to see more Leds around the side, but that doesn't negativity affect anything. I did need to update my Synapse 3 to Synapse 4. I believe the main reason is they separated Chroma from Synapse.My auto fan works great, and the profiles for low/med/high are adjustable. I made two small tweaks to the low and medium profiles just to make it dead silent when no load is on gpu/cpu. You can control the fans and lights via the buttons on the side of the cooler, or within the software. The software also gives you a basic look or an advance look for fan profiles. It's pretty cool.I play DayZ and with my Nvidia monitor I went from roughly 80*C @ 100% load to about 68-72*C and around 60-80% load. Based on that pretty sure I was getting thermally throttled. FPS is better also.I use a Razer Tartarus V2 because the height of the laptop keyboard is higher and for me is less comfortable while gaming. The Tartarus pairs up nice.There is an intake fan dust cover, so hopefully that does a good job as my house with multiple kids and animals gets pretty dusty.Currently very happy. It works just as advertised. And I'm happy with it not fitting 100% so it may work better for you and get even better results with temperature. Again, I'm using an Acer laptop, not a Razer so it's my own fault but it does work with non-Razer laptops.The cooler does have its down AC power adaptor which powers the cooler. There are also 3 usb ports on the rear, and they're setup for my Tartarus V2, JBL Quantum One headset and my charging cable for my Balilisk V3 Pro mouse. The pass thru works great, and I have no performance or audio issues.

I have a cheaper, generic laptop cooler that works very well and cost $120 cheaper. Lots of fans and you can run it at low speed. It works..... But there was no way to turn the rgb lights off. I am not at a dance club.... I am trying to focus on being productive. That is what led me to the razer version of a laptop cooler.1. It's solid. I love how well it is built.2. Good seal to pull out hot air. It works amazingly well. I only need to run it on speed 1 of 3.3. Speeds 2 and 3 are loud and very loud. If music is playing it's no concern. Guess it's good to have it if you need it.4. I keep the leds either off or razer green.5. I have the new razer blade 18 2025 with 5080. It keeps it very cool (gpu) when rendering. I think it gets up to 44°C once but that was rendered so fast I didn't really get to test it out.Verdict : if you need something to cool your system, this will do it very well. It's expensive. But it works well and the design is better than others I have used.

I bought the Razer Laptop Cooling Pad to replace an aged-and-dying Enermax cooler (single 8-inch fan) that could no longer effectively cool my Origin PC EON16-X laptop (16", Intel i9 14900HX, NVIDIA RTX 4090).Setup was very simple for me. The laptop fits well on the pre-installed frame. I already use Razer Chroma and Razer Synapse for my Basilisk mouse, and I didn't have to do anything to get the softwares to detect and manage the laptop cooler. I leave the fan set on the lowest speed, allowing the software the adjust the fan speed based on system temps.Pros:- First, it's a great cooler. System temps are around 10ºC lower under load than using my older cooler.- Simple set-up process, especially if you already use Razer peripherals and their associated software.- 3 included frames to accommodate laptops of different sizes and vent placements. Frames are very easy to change since they use magnets: simply pull one off and stick on another to fit your laptop.- 3 powered USB-A ports on the back.- Cleanable air filter helps keep your laptop innards from getting quite as dirty.- As with all new peripherals these days, there are lights. You can press a button to cycle through some preset options, or use Razer Chroma to set your preferred color(s) and effect.Cons:- The fan can be absurdly loud. For those of us who game without headphones, it's a major distraction to have the fan on higher speed settings. Medium speed is annoying but tolerable, and High speed is around the noise level of a loud vacuum cleaner in the next room.- The cooler has a plastic frame. At this price, it probably could be aluminum. Still, the plastic is strong and sturdy and I have no doubts it will hold up in function and form.- The price is significantly more than other high-performance coolers, but they don't have the Razer name included.- The power cord is about 5 feet long, and the brick (wallwart) is rather large. My desk's power strip couldn't fit it, so I had to run it to the wall, which is a stretch.Playing high-resource games would generally have my system getting very hot, into the dangerous nearly-100ºC range. Below are temps measured by GPU-Z and Core Temp, with the cooler running variable fan speed managed by Synapse.GPU: RTX 4090- Idle temp ~38ºC- Load temp ~69-70ºC at 98% load, 76ºC Hot Spot, 88ºC Memory TempCPU: i9 14900HX- Idle temps vary from 35-44ºC depending on core- Load temps 70-83ºC, spiking at 75-97ºC depending on core
