havit 5 Fans Laptop Cooling Pad for 14-17 Inch Laptop, Cooler Pad with LED Light, Dual USB 2.0 Ports, Adjustable Mount Stand (Red)

I bought this item on August 28, 2017. and started using it the following week. Took it to the Philippines and used it on the 28 hour flights via Jet Blue, Asiana Airlines, and Cebu Pacific. No issues in check points, no issues on the plane, no issues at work, and still quiet as can be.Some things you should KNOW:1) The feet may slide off. WATCH them carefully (the rubber things not the plastic components)2) Ya ya ya ya dual usb ports.... lol but ONE MUST be used for the FANS. So you have ONE spare USB port. Still I didn't need it, but it makes it sound like you can use 2 without needing the obvious power from your laptop via usb port or some external power component.3) Do NOT lose the male to male usb cord. They aren't readily available everywhere lol. Best buy a spare one just in case.4) It definitely cools down the computer. I ran multiple 3rd party programs and temp test in bios and it definitely works.5) It says it doesn't power external HDDs... LOL YES IT DOES. Well at least this one it did: Seagate Backup Plus 4TB Portable External Hard Drive USB 3.0, Black (STDR4000100). Now granted.... It's a laptop hdd and not a desktop hdd... However it IS an external hdd none the less.6) I put this thing to the test. I am a gamer, I also am a ripper, and I do coding as well. I ran both Elder Scrolls online and WoW (World of Warcraft) at the same time as GoT 2160p S03E04 episode with an external mouse and hdd while the fans were turning on, my lap didn't get hot like it would but did get kinda luke warm, but thats to be expected when the video card is activated due to gaming and show. Now imagine running ESO for 6 hours, and WoW for 9 hours while watching 12 hours of tv episodes on the airplane while flying over the ocean, and Russia and Korea airspace. Lets just say my passenger seat person was greatly entertained the entire flight. My lap and my boys were truly happy for lack of heat. Thank You Havit 5 Fan Cooling Pad. I will buy another thank you!** if you are over paranoid with the heat as a gamer, this does work with 2600-5000RPM as well.EDIT 1: As of August 9, 2018 - This item still works. There are some instances when I initially turn it on the fans can get loud but then stop almost 5 seconds later. No complaints here. I use this almost daily 3-5 days a week while at work.

First off, I've been using cooling pads for my laptops for close to 15 years. With that said, I've been using this for a few months and this has to be the best cooling pad I've used yet. Cooling pads have come a long way since I first started using them. On this particular cooling pad, you can adjust the fan speed all the way from off to its max speed. There are red LEDs lighting up the fans, which can't be turned off while the fans are on. That is no big deal to me because they match my backlit keyboard beautifully. The fans suck the air from the bottom of the pad and blow the air onto the bottom of the laptop. For convenience, there is an extra USB port to make up for the one the power cable uses on the laptop. This has to be the best USB power cable I've had as it's braided and feels durable/thick. I've broken many plastic/rubber cables over the years, requiring me to fix the cables or even the cooling pads themselves. One quality of life that's been added to this pad that I've never had before is a tab that flips up and holds the laptop onto the pad and keeps it from sliding off. With previous pads, it's been a major pain to keep the laptop from sliding down. The only problem I've had with this pad so far is that the rubber feet on the bottom that cover the screws have come off, which I've had that happen to all the cooling pads I've ever owned. So if you're wondering if this is the cooling pad for you, it's worked wonderfully for me and it keeps my laptop cooled down while gaming and I believe it will do the same for you.

I've had this for some time and here's the deal.Low(er) RPMS then other laptop coolers but that's what attractive about this. You don't want high RPM because the external fans will push on internal fans of your laptop (which are light in the blades anyway) causing your fans to attempt to maintain a set RPM (overworking them).This gives about 3-5 C cooler temps and can help with idle temps greatly.Example: My fans set to auto (Predator Helios 300) only engage when temps for CPU/GPU are at >40 C. So when I reach 40 C it pretty much stays at that temperature. But with this cooling pad it continues to cool down after Auto fans stop.Giving me a healthy 25 C at idle.Recommendation: Use an external power source instead of plugging into your laptop (5v plug). The current draw on your system doesn't help temps when your laptop is running this. If you want the USB for additional info into your laptop I have more info... One of the USBs is for plugging into your laptop, so you only have a spare 1 port with this cooling pad connected to your laptop.Plug into an external power source and you have lower temps and that port free anyway.CONS: (The reason for 4 stars) The flip up tab that keeps your laptop from sliding has a pad on it but has a plastic edge that contacts the laptop (the pad doesn't prevent plastic to laptop contact) and I perfer not scratching up my system. I put a little piece of felt there and it's fine, but this should have been thought of at the time of construction.
