KLIMTempest Laptop Cooler with Vacuum Fan - New - Gaming Laptop Fan with Display - Temperature Detection + Automatic/Manual Mode - 4000 RPM - Portable - Compatible with Laptop Cooling Pads

Wasn't entirely sure this would help, but what a difference it made! My laptop was constantly overheating while gaming and adding this to the mix let me keep track of the temperature without needing separate software overlays on screen or running in the background. I can play games for hours and barely break 100F now. If I turn it off for 15 minutes and turn it back on, it will be up over 115F and my laptop will be about ready to shut down.It could use a better support or stand of some sort for when your laptop isn't flush with the table (i.e. you have it raised on a cooling fan system), but that's easy to fix.A proper, tight fit on your side vents is crucial for this to work at peak efficiency, but once you have that adjusted properly, this works! Plain and simple.

A few years ago I bought a nice gaming laptop. For the first time in my life I was turning graphics UP, rather than cranking them all the way down so they would be playable. Over the years, the laptop began slowing down... frame-rate drops at first, and finally games would slow down so much that they were completely unplayable.Since my laptop was getting hotter than the surface of the sun, I suspected heat was to blame. I bought all kinds of products - a lap desk with fans, I made sure the fans were dusted out and working, the works. I downloaded software which would allow me to throttle certain functions of the laptop to reduce heat... but then it was a race between how much the software was throttling my laptop and how much the heat was causing it to throttle itself. There were some games I gave up playing entirely, simply because they played so slow it wasn't worth it.One day, I happened to see the Klim Tempest on Amazon. Very cheap - only $30, and claimed to be universal fit. I figured, what the heck.. let's try it.And now, my laptop runs... almost like new.The Klim Tempest is a miracle device. Rather than lap desks which simply blow little puffs of air at the bottom of your PC, the Klim Tempest attaches to the exhaust ports of your laptop and literally SUCKS the hot air out and shoots it out the back. I have no clue where the less than exemplary reviews I see are getting their experiences - some say the fan isn't very powerful? Maybe you're just installing or using it wrong? When I hook up my Tempest, I can put my hand over the back of it and feel it jetting out hot air.Games that used to heat my PC up to the point that I almost couldn't touch the metal surfaces... now my laptop maintains temperature and performs as it should. No more burning hot laptop.. just high-end performance. I can once again play my favorite games - games that would overheat and slow my laptop to a crawl within minutes.The Klim is quiet and powerful. You can hear it spool up when the laptop is heating up, but trust me, if you're playing games, the sound effects will WELL overpower the sound of the Tempest - you won't hear it. You'll forget it's there.The mounting mechanism is a bit awkward. I have to be honest, I wish there were a better hook-up.. but the designers were trying to make it as universal as possible, and on that front I feel they did a good job. It might take you a few minutes or a few tries to find out what works best for you, but I've found a way of setting it up where it doesn't slip off all the time, so I'm good. Maybe in the future there will be better mounting mechanisms. Four stars out of five for being a good balance between working and usable on all laptops.It functions EXACTLY as it should. You can download software to monitor your laptop's heat level, and download software to run a stress test - give it a try: hook up the Klim Tempest CORRECTLY, (meaning make sure the seal gaskets are closing off that exhaust port and the hot air will be going exclusively into the Tempest), run a stress test to build up heat, and watch the little device work its magic.I could not be more impressed. If you find your laptop getting extremely hot and performance degrading significantly, THIS DEVICE MAY BE THE ANSWER TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS. I can't guarantee that (you might have other issues) But for $30 how can you go wrong!? I can FINALLY play my games again, so I'm so happy.I sent the designers a kind note to let them know how much I appreciate it. They wrote back thrilled to hear that I was happy, and were even asking what kind of games I play - these are people who are not only developing an amazing product, but care about their customers.100% satisfied, would have paid twice or three times the price for the difference it has made. Absolutely amazing and so glad I gave it a try.

It works great keeps my laptop cooled very impressed thank you so much 👍👍 the Noise level is high unless I turn it down

sucks air through laptop venting portsdisplays air tempmanual control (also as auto which i do not use)actually helped to keep cpu and gpu cooler during 3D gaming

This thing works SO FREAKING WELL! I use it for my One Connect Box, which doesn't have active cooling and is known for having heat issues. This things makes a difference 100% AND it's practically inaudible. I am so grateful for it so far.

The product is great and would work perfectly if it actually fit on my computer, the fan pulls a lot of air despite being tiny and quiet.There were two issues with my installation, both were my own fault for not checking beforehand though.-ONE is my charger port is too close to the exhaust vent, so I can't plug in my laptop and use this at the same time. Fortunately, the sellers understood my problem and very quickly issued a refund, something I was very pleased about.-TWO is there is an exhaust port on the bottom of my laptop as well, which was blocked by either mounting piece that came with this (both the plastic and metal were big enough to cover it entirely)All in all, great product, but do extra measurements before you buy! Don't just check for the three things they outline on the product page; you also need to check for things such as:-How close is your charger to the exhaust vent?-Are there exhaust vents on the bottom of your device?

The media could not be loaded. I just got a second one for the right side of my ASUS ZenBook Duo because this model fits perfectly and works incredibly well with my laptop. The performance is great, and it complements the dual-screen setup nicely. The only downside is the attachment mechanism, it didn’t hold up for long, and I had to find an alternative way to secure it properly, especially since the laptop lifts when it opens. Still, overall, it’s a solid choice.

The media could not be loaded. I like the idea. I really do. The MSI gaming laptop I have is great but gets hot fast even with a cooling pad. So I hoped this would help. I set it up right away and tested it. Here is my verdict:Pros:-it did seem to cool a bit once I figured out how to put it togetherCons:-the instructions aren’t very clear. It’s about a page and no steps really. You kinda have to just figure it out from the photos and description. But after about 10 min it wasn’t hard and I was done.—To get it to work well, it had to be turned up high and it got loud (you can hear it in the video at max speed)-it’s taller than my entire laptop. It’s also just taped on to the laptop bottom on a plastic piece.-Not really their fault but I realized each time I go home from work I need to remove it and put it back on each morning. Kind of a pain. And it’s one more cord.Overall:I returned it. I’d rather purchase an even larger cooling pad than deal with this.
