Reddit reviews TopMate C5 10-15.6 inch Gaming Laptop Cooler Cooling Pad, 5 Quiet Fans and LCD Screen, 5 Heights Adjustment, 2 USB Port and Blue LED Light

This is what I used to cool my GS43VR: Cooling fans for gaming laptop

It cools off from 90C to around 80C'ish on high. But it holds laptop and not really for you to type on it.

The best temp cooling is when I re-paste CPU/GPU with Grizzly's liquid metal. Temp drop from 90C to 65-70C. Combine with the cooling fan then it goes below 60C!

I'd be especially wary of any add-on fans that pull power from the system. Plugging a third party fan into the usb outlet of your system will make the system work harder and most likely do more harm than good. If you're concerned about your system heating up, don't put it in a place in which the heat will be trapped such as an enclosed cabinet or entertainment center.

I used one of the Nyko Intercoolers on my PS3 Slim for a while. It didn't pull power from the console and it was designed so well that it looked like it was part of the console, but in the end, the same thing happened to it that most of the reviews of all of the third party cooling systems mention. The fans got really loud after a couple of months. Great design. Low quality components. I just ended up buying a mini desktop fan and aiming the airflow across the back of my console. Works great.

I'm considering picking up this laptop fan to provide some extra cooling for my system during the summer months, but I'll definitely be picking up an extended usb cable so that I can power it from a power strip. Good luck OP!

This is the kind of cooling pad I use, though mine has less fans: https://www.amazon.com/TopMate-TM-3-12-15-6-2500RPM-Designed/dp/B01J18006K/.

Rather than playing on power save, go into the advanced power options for high performance mode and change the amount for maximum processor state. In fact, I think when I changed it to 99% instead of 100%, my computer got a lot cooler. There's some info and a picture of the settings in this article: https://www.technorms.com/46600/regulate-cpu-usage-in-windows-10.

Well, there are three settings for the cooling fans and I have mine set on high, so I’ve technically added noise (though it’s reasonably quiet, even with all 4 fans at full speed, and I don’t notice it when I’m playing games at a normal volume — also they’re muted a bit as they’re underneath the PS4). I haven’t noticed the PS4 Pro sounding like it’s going into overdrive since I’ve started using it either. You could always set them to a lower speed if you like (you have three speed options and can control the left and right sides individually). I bought it from Amazon, and for this product the manufacturer has a 30 day money back guarantee and a year warrantee, so you could try it if you’re on the fence and ship it back if you don’t care for it.

• The only gripe I have is that the LED light show resets upon powering off, so if I bring the PS4 up from rest mode with a controller, I would have to walk over to press a button on the fan to cause it to stay solid blue rather than cycling colors (which I prefer and looks nice bouncing off the glass shelves of the entertainment center I have my PS4 on). But I’m lazy and don’t really care.
  
  There are other models (this is probably designed to be a laptop cooling pad), but I had seen another redditor link this and the price was cheap enough that I figured I’d give it a try. And I do like that it tilts the PS4 up approximately 10 degrees (with foldable arms on the front of it, giving an inch or two of room for air to circulate underneath and blow outwards from the shelf). In games where my Pro sounds like a jet engine (“RDR2” for example), I’m pretty sure the cooling is making a difference but it could just be confirmation bias. Here’s another model with fans that top out at 1200RPM rather than the 1500RPM that mine does, or this one with 5 fans that push 2500RPM — all three are roughly the same price. Those two don’t have the 30 day guarantee from the manufacturer though, and are subject to Amazon return policies.

  Anyhow, hope that helps out. I have my PSVR box sitting on top of my PS4, as well as an 8TB external HD to the left of it, so I’m just happy to be keeping that whole area cool and ventilated.

I use the topmate cooler and my laptop bottom is no longer moderately warm under load, but even chilly at times. Temps dropped 8-12° C with this one, and after searching many sites trying to find accurate numbers, I just decided that finding a reliable one that was durable enough was my goal, and so far the topmate hasn’t disappointed.

pretty sure this one will keep your laptop cool

Yeah, I am planning on purchasing this cooler for my laptop, lets hope it works out well!

They are worth using. They help lift your laptop up and add cooling air.

Not sure of specific brands I have a topmate one which keeps my laptop steady at 50degrres while gaming https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01J18006K?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01J18006K/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 this is the one I'm using

I use this one.

I’m currently using this cooler:

I️ just like it because it lifts the laptop up and allows proper airflow because of how little space there is between the table surface and the laptop.


Also for heat I️ feel like setting my fans close to max are what helped more than the actual cooler itself!

I just received this one and to be honest with you it helped with my temps about 2-3 C. I have a dell g5 15 and the heating is so bad I get 94 C when I play anything and with the cooling bad I get about 91 C. So don’t expect a miracle unless your laptop has better intakes than mine.

brand new?! that's a 2016-2017 laptop

and if you go on-line there are quite a bunch of people who complain about their laptops overheating and generally not having good thermals; some even went as lowering core voltage on the CPU

sounds to me that the cooling system is not quite enough to deal with the component thermals

you could buy a cooling pad like this one: https://www.amazon.com/TopMate-12-15-6-Gaming-Screen%EF%BC%8C2500RPM-Designed/dp/B01J18006K/ref=pd_sbs_147_5?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01J18006K&pd_rd_r=1056NR2651JGFDJFN9NG&pd_rd_w=Bimpv&pd_rd_wg=0LPCh&psc=1&refRID=1056NR2651JGFDJFN9NG
