Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Laptop Cooling pad from Razer is not your average cooling pad. It can be linked to your laptop (via USB) to allow your laptop to control the exterior Cooling Pad fan's speed without any manual intervention. The design is indeed nice and futuristic. It screams "Gaming". The front RGB lights look nice and informative when manually adjusting the fan speed. I've used several types of cooling pads. They are usually very slim and have several small fans that increase the air circulation below the laptop. This Cooling Pad from Razer is different. It has only one fan placed in a chamber with a foam gasket to pressurize the air ventilation under the laptop. This tight seal allows good ventilation with less noise. The bottom side of the Cooling Pad is equipped with a mesh filter that blocks dust and lint from going into your computer. The Razer Cooling Pad has also a USB hub that connects to your laptop via a full-size USB connector. The Razer Cooling Pad has its own power supply for maximum performance. In the box, the Razer Laptop Cooling Pad is coming with several-sized sealing adapters to allow it to be used with different sizes of laptops. The upper side of the pad has an adjustable lip to optimize the position of the laptop. I downloaded the Razer Synapse software to allow the laptop to control the fan speed. It also helps update the Pad's firmware. When used, the temperature of the laptop is significantly less than usual. With more load and heat, the Razer Synapse adjusts the fan speed to maintain a cooler temperature. The app allows you to select the fan speed cooling profile and adjust the response curve. Very good for gaming. Via the app, you can also adjust the RGB front light bar. I'd recommend getting the Pad connected to your OS and having the Synapse installed. When placing the laptop on top of the pad, ensure that the foam seal doesn’t obstruct any of your laptop’s vents. Some laptops have their exhaust vents on the sides. If the foam gasket isn’t selected correctly, it can block the exhaust. Some of the not-so-good things about this Cooling Pad: - The USB connector could not be disconnected from the pad... I wish it was USB-C. - The fan can be really noisy when at max speed. The foam helps lowering the noise when used properly. Razer primarily marketed this product to gamers, but it can be used to cool down any laptop you want to keep running efficiently without obstructing its vents (running unfiltered) or shortening its lifespan because of the heat.

I’ll just preface this review with stating that the cooler absolutely works, and it works great. I use a Razer Blade laptop, which has an all aluminum body so the heat extremely dissipates off of the laptop when using it for intensive tasks, resulting in the laptop being hot to the touch and the temperature of my room rising by a couple degrees. I got this cooler as a way to mitigate that and the laptop is now cold to the touch, below room temperature even when using intensive tasks, not even exaggerating. The only con with the thing is the noise. When actively cooling on a mid to high speed it sounds like a mini jet engine or a PS4 running a modern game, however there are settings that come with the cooler to mitigate the noise output, such as a physical button that controls multiple power levels, and the optional software being able to make custom profiles and modes for more finer control i.e quiet mode, performance mode, etc, cooling your laptop regardless. If you can tolerate the noise, then your laptop will most definitely never be above 70C when gaming or running CPU intensive things. In my eyes, this is a pretty great investment for what it’s worth.

Let me preface this by saying that I do not own a Razer laptop for gaming, but instead I use a Asus Rog Zephryus G14 (2023) model. I am not able to take advantage of the Chroma controls for my lighting needs on anything aside from this cooling pad. I also use a Logitech G815 keyboard, G735 headset and a G502X mouse which also utilize a different program to sync the RGB lighting. This would make 3 different lighting controls I would have to mess with (Lightsync for Logitech, Chroma for Razer and Aura Sync for Asus). This does not appear to support Dynamic Lighting inside Windows itself so I guess I will have to rely on the Razer Synapse software for now. Prior to this, I had the IETS GT500 cooler but it was going on 2 years old and the sealing foam pads were getting alittle compressed so I opted for this solution. Right off the bat the differences were noticable , some good some bad. Inside the box you get the cooler, a pretty massive power brick (this will take up 2 slots on a power strip depending on the orientation of the plugs), and 3 magnetic plates you can swap as needed allowing laptops from 14" to 18" , to be used. There is also a plate without foam on it but this is meant for ventless laptops (which makes me wonder why would anyone get a laptop cooler with a bottom fan in the first place). Anyway, lets get to the positive and negatives, starting with the negative first -Height is not adjustable. Other "generic" coolers allow you to adjust the rear height but this one is static -Single RGB strip in the front of the pad. If you are someone that loves RGB lighting, this is a pretty minimalistic approach -For more precise controls of the lighting and the fan speeds, you will need to install the Razer Synapse program. There are no slow incremental stages for the fan. If you choose not to install this software, you are stuck with 3 speeds, low, medium and high, which are controlled by 1 of the 3 buttons on the right hand side, the other 2 control the power and the cycles the RGB strip. Something like a "wheel" would have been nice to allow a user to increase alittle or decrease alittle depending on their needs. - While they claim it will support most laptops from 14-16" laptops, I am not quite sure that the included foam plates are made for the Rog Zephryus line. Using the 14" foam insert, it took me awhile to find a spot where the incoming airflow was properly directed and even then my temps are same or higher than with the IETS cooler. There is also a small shelf like lever at the bottom which allows you to raise or lower the position of the laptop on the pad for better placement of the intake fans to the main cooling fan -Price price price. This is not something I would spend 149.99 on personally but if someone is a Razer owner, it might make more sense. Positives: -On the back, there are 3 USB-A ports ans 1 plug to connect to a USB-A port on your laptop, essentially acting a small hub. Also. plugging it into your laptop allows the Synapse software to monitor things like your CPU and GPU temps which leads to my next point -If you choose to install the Razer Synapse software, you can fine tune the controls of the lighting and the fan speeds. Want to set a temp in which the fan kicks into high gear, you can do that. Want to set a speed where the fan goes quiet when the laptop is cooled enough, yep you can do that as well. - A feature that, while being rather simple, is one that I really like is the ability to set it to when your laptop powers off, the cooler powers off with it as well. This also goes for when you turn it on, the cooler comes on, no messing around with pressing extra buttons to turn it on or shut it off After running a few games, I noticed that this kept my temps around the same as the IETS, sometimes even a tad higher, which for me is a concern. My laptop has the Nvidia 4060 paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU and while I know gaming laptops are designed to run somewhat hot given everything crammed into a small chassis, anything above 90c gets me nervous. When I was using the other cooler, I rarely noticed my laptop hitting anything above 91c during heavy gaming sessions and I learned to accept it. After messing about with this one and making sure everything is in position and the airflow is sufficient, I am hitting consistant temps of 93.5c in games like Helldivers 2 and Fortnite , which is pretty close to the throttling numbers. I do utilize the intelligent fan control and have it set to peak at 85% when the temp hits 90c, but it does not seem to help all that much. As it stands right now, I can not recommend this device for non Razer owners at this price point considering there are other options available with lower prices that do a better job ( for me anyway, your mileage might vary)

I have a Asus ProArt PX13 4060 laptop and this cooler lowers temps significantly around 7 degrees. I ran 3dmark using time spy benchmark before using cooler and after, this thing raised my score around 800 points or more. The RGB is nice but if you do not want to use it then it can be turned off. It has 3 fan settings, highest setting is loud though. The cooler also has 3 standard usb hub and requires the power adapter to be plugged in for the cooler to work, no power via usb hub connection. I would definitely recommend. I will update in the future if I have any issues.

The Razer laptop cooling pad with intelligent fan control and chroma RGB for laptops 14” to 18” is a decent cooling pad. It supports up to an 18 inch laptop so it’s quite large but I wouldn’t say any larger than any else on the market right now. It’s made of black plastic and has RGB lights on the front lip of the cooling pad. The cooling pad fan design looks cool in itself but you’ll never see it once your laptop is placed on top of it but I guess that’s the whole point. The cooling pad comes with 2 frames to accommodate different size laptops to provide the correct seal needed to perform optimally. I used my cooling pad with a 15 inch Alienware laptop and it fits perfectly in my opinion. On the bottom of the laptop cooler there’s an adjustable lip that up can move up/down 3 different positions. There are also three USB ports on the back to connect your peripherals and on the right hand side there are the power buttons fan controls and light control buttons if you want to do things manually. You can also use the Razer Synapse app to control lighting as well. For me the Razer Synapse software was wonky and was not intuitive to use. I had a hard time choosing lighting effects and quickly got frustrated maybe it’s user error but I think something as easy as lighting effects so should be easy. As far as performance the Razer laptop cooler does its job as advertised but at a cost of loudness and I mean does it get loud. It keeps my laptop about 10-15 degrees cooler than stock but as I said it is loud and I think that’s just the nature of these products. The noise is mitigated by most gamers who use headsets anyways so at least you can drown out the fan noise that way or just reduce the speed every once in awhile then bump it up when needed.

So overall cooling is great. Don't really like the elevated part wished they would designed to be able to fold inward making it more compact Don't care about RGB. But as far as providing extra cooling it does do that effectively

When I push the processing power of my laptop, it can get pretty hot. I have used laptop cooling pads in the past, but I wanted to see how a premium cooling pad, like the Razer, could help with performance during gameplay. The box contains different size inserts to help get the best air-cooling effect. My 16-inch gaming laptop sat perfectly on the cushioned pad, allowing a great air flow. The programable RGB lighting is a nice touch and the 3 USB-A ports on the back was a plus. I was disappointed to find Razer used a USB-A to connect to my laptop and was further disappointed a USB-C port was not added to the cooling pad hub. I was also surprised the cooling pad required an external power source. I tried playing some power-hungry games and noticed the fan kept my laptop nice and cool. I saw about a 20 degree drop in temperature compared to my other cooling pad. However, I did not notice any significant improvement in performance and the fan was very loud at about 60 decibels on high. The sound from the fan drowned out my laptop speakers, so I would recommend using sound isolating headphones when the fan is maxed out. The cooling pad seems well high-end, but I have a hard time recommending this cooling pad for the average gamer. The need for external power and how loud the fan is at high speed, makes this cooling pad appropriate for extreme gamers using sound isolating headsets.

I am not a razer fanboy, but this is actually decent. This is the first cooler using pc software to adjust its speed based on temps. There is a day one update, but I have not had problems. The problem with most of these type of coolers if they stay at a constant high speed unless you want to constantly manually adjust. This thing has 3 default settings you can use, or make your own. It cools just as well as the others and it has some decent RGB as well. Along with with a good usb hub in the back. The only problem I have is that it is not adjustable height wise, but I guess that was a sacrifice made for its nice design looks wise.

Just to keep this short, this fan does its job very well, only drawback is that it gets fairly loud but that wont be an issue if youre the kind lf person to use headphones or earbuds that have noise cancellation. The RGB on the pad is bright and very responsive. The fan has 3 modes so depending on how fast or how silent you want youre fan to be, its all up to you.

This is an excellent laptop cooler. Yes, it is quite expensive compared to other coolers, but it's quiet until things get hot, but there are quite a few settings and fan curves you can set, both default and customized, depending on what you need. The angle that it keeps your laptop is also very good, and it's nice that it has quite a few ports. Overall, I love the aesthetic and while I know many people don't like RGB lights, I personally like it and it's very customizable within the app. Of course, you will need to use the Synapse app, so there is that. But the device itself is very good as one would expect of premium Razer devices.

Honestly the best laptop pad I've ever used, drops my 5090 under heavy load by 10 to 15 degrees Celsius. Even further when under standard use. My only gripe is that it is not compatible with armoury crates lighting so I'm forced to use razer chroma.

Dropped my zephyrus g16 cpu and gpu temps by 10c while gaming, and took care of the burning hot sections above the keyboard too. The smart temp setting is great but flucuates alot and is constantly ramping up and down unless u have it on quiet mode. The cooler still makes a difference if you run it on low but for full effect you gotta be in jet engine mode. Overall impressed with the product and how much air it moves but i can hear it running from the other side of my house

Keeps my new Zephyrus, G14 nice and cold. So the fans stay silent on the laptop when gaming.

5 stars as this cooling pad really keeps my laptop from overheating. My only "issue" is the amount of cords and that it does take up my only remaining usb slot. That is not really a problems as I can take it out when needed. Otherwise, excellent product. Shipped quickly. Was in excellent conditions.

Good product to have if you want to cool your laptop down. It can get loud, but I like that you can adjust the sound to where it doesn’t get too loud.

Ive tried many 80-100 dollar laptop coolers on amazon but this one beat them all. Its mainly because of the template the razer has to fit a g14 zephyrus. The ones on amazon could not create a seal whereas this one does. If youre okay with the price tag i would not waste anymore time and just get this one.

Works so well that my laptop fans dont need to turn on due to the cooling pad keeping temperatures low even on the lowest fan speed. I no longer get framerate drops when playing games. 10/10.

I've used it for a month now and can confidently say that it works better than I expected. Yes the price is steep but you get what you pay for. I use it for both my work laptop - 16" (rtx 4090) and personal laptop - 14" (rtx 4070). I use the smallest fitting and works for both without swapping the inserts. So far I noticed a 10c + drop in temps while rendering and gaming noticeably cooler to the touch and really pushes air through the machines. Lights are cool but not the selling point. Definitely on the noisier side at full speed but I expected that. The foam isolation seal helps with noise dramatically. The only negative is MAYBE the plastic housing. I thought it was metal, still a great tool. Would recommend.

I have this and the LLano V10 non rgb. I specificlly picked this Cooler to use as my primary for my Lenovo Legion 4090 Laptop. I love that i can control and use the Razer software with it. It shuts off when the pc shuts off. With the LLano if you didnt go manually shut it off it would just keep going. The integration with razer/windows is awesome to have. Performs the same as LLano. All about the control/integration with windows.

Works awesome very quiet looks good affordable like this item
