Mistral Laptop Cooling Pad - Powerful Turbo-Fan 4500 RPM Laptop Cooler - Rubber Ring Seal for Maximum Performance - Avoid Overheating and Protect Your Gaming Laptop - 15-17 in

Forgive my little joke! The cooler really does do a great job of cooling. I run an i7, 32MB, GTX 1060 gaming laptop from MSI that is a few years old now. I wanted a new cooler as I fell on me old one and broke the adjustable legs. TLDR; The Klim Mistral operates beyond excellent for day to day and gaming purposes. For my 'rig' the cooler is great and I suspect it will be very similar for more powerful devices. I have had other products from KLIM for other uses so thought to give this a try. Even when my old cooling pad was new and on full power it did cool the laptop but the top of the laptop still got very warm during gaming [mmorpg games mostly]. This KLIM Mistral instantly solved the heating issue! I fitted the correct seal and rear exhaust deflectors connected to the laptop the put the laptop on the cooler before switching on. I ran a diagnostic application that gives accurate temperature measurements of the laptop and set about testing. I selected an RGB light colour on cooler I liked then I ran a browser, a data base viewer, a word processor, mail app and pdf viewer all at same time - switching between them for use. On lowest setting the cooler did an adequate job of cooling and lowered the temperature a couple of degrees. On the mid fan setting the cooler managed to lower the temperature by 4 to 6 degrees. Of course the highest fan setting gave the best result and lowered the temperature by as much as 10 to 12 degrees. Not satisfied with simply leaving the testing at the stage I got to a new test was brought to play. This time after leaving the laptop [and cooler] off for about 40 minutes I fired the laptop, cooler and diagnostic tool back up. The diagnostic tool has a feature whereby it reports CPU and GPU temperatures lowest, average and highest temperatures. Now an mmorpg beta was started. I played the game for about 70 - 75 minutes to give the cooling pad a real run. For this test I had the cooler fan a highest setting. The first thing I noticed during this second test is that my palm [rested on laptop for key presses] stayed at the same cool temperature [I would even say cold]. After playing the game I shut it down and looked at the diagnostic tool temperatures and found them very cool compared to similar test done previously with no cooler pad and then with the old cooler pad [before it got damaged]. Again the new KLIM Mistral had performed admirably with all temperatures lowered by around 10 to 12 degrees. The Klim Mistral operates beyond excellent for day to day and gaming purposes. With good fan options a cosmetic light and great cooling. Likes: Looks good, easy to operate, height/angle adjustment, sturdy build, deflectors for rear output laptop heat, two sizes of 'rubber' seal to accommodate different sized laptops, adjustable RGB light, long USB cooler to laptop connecter and 3 position fan intensity. What could be changed: the long USB connector is great but maybe a little too long [remedy is to roll it up and secure with a fastener], RGB light is great but could benefit from an 'off' option [I could not find one] and the noise, especially on highest fan setting, could be improved [lowered]. Just one last thing regarding the noise of the fans. I expected the fans to be noisier as the fan setting got higher and the noise is somewhat high. However; after using the cooler for many hours while doing day to day tasks and extensive use during beta testing an mmorpg and playing other games at varying graphics, fps and other associated settings /strains I soon came to 'zone' out the noise. In fact, after a short while, I barely noticed the noise of the fans as I got lost in my various tasks.

My son's laptop was getting hella hot so we needed someone to chill it out & this works great. Can't give it 5* cos it's fairly noisy, but we've had no more overheating so can't, currently, fault it.

I don't normally write reviews. Got myself a gaming laptop and wanted to make sure that it lasts for a while as it is not cheap. I looked into cheap cooling pads and they all were based on fans. I live in a big city and a lot of dust is lying around. I felt like it would just fan the dust into the computer quicker. What i liked about this type of cooling pad is that it filters the air from the surroundings so no dust is delivered into the fan system at the bottom of the laptop. The whole air fanning is also isolated from the outside environment so it really cools it off much quicker than cheap fan based cooling pads. It easily keeps my laptop 20-30 degrees cooler than just laptop cooling alone. Also great price - other cooling pads of this price cost north of £100. Overall, very happy with the purchase! I just wish it fit into my backpack for travels - that's one con. Also, I saw some reviews mention that the clips at the bottom that hold the laptop from sliding prevent closing the laptop - tip - turn them the other way round, with the L aimed downwards. Your laptop will still be held up, but you will be able to close the lid!

I've used many cooling pads as I have a powerful 19" gaming laptop, but they mostly see maybe 2-3 degree drop if that. The problem is that a lot of that air is lost not THROUGH the laptop, but out of the gaps at the sides and rear where the there is space between the tray and laptop, because that is the air's easiest route out. THIS one has a thick rubber seal. Air is drawn in to the tray through rear intakes, and jetted up into a void where its ONLY way out is through your laptop. The air can't escape anywhere else. The fans are super-powerful too, so it's easily pushed through the laptop case. I can actually feel the cold air escaping around my keys! Most importantly, it shaves off between 9-12 degrees from my CPU temps (my laptop was previously throttling at 95 degrees and was almost unplayable). I cannot praise this pad highly enough. There are downsides. The first KLIM mentions themselves: this thing is LOUD, like screaming loud. You have been warned (by them and by me now - no-one will thank you for sitting next to them with this running)! The other downside is that its design is necessarily big, and I have a lot of trouble fitting it into my expansive and spacious laptop rucksack. But I honestly don't care. I was having a miserable time trying to play games on my laptop. Now, it's wonderful!

This is very noisy for a fan. It definitely keeps the laptop cooler, but on my temperature monitoring the difference under load is so minimal that even on full fan speed the laptop has to depend on its own cooling to actually cool the APU and GPU. The biggest pro about this is that it makes gaming on your lap so much more comfortable for longer period because you don’t feel Satan’s butt sitting across your lap whilst playing any game with more power drain than minesweepers. I think this is overall a great idea, but poorly executed as a universal option. It would be better suited if designed especially with specific laptops in mind.

Great quality product! I have a mid-range gaming laptop. It heated up to very high temperatures quickly caused really low fps in any game basically. With this it is 100% smooth and with even the most demanding games it stay warm, and warm only. I could have fried some eggs on the surface before. The sound of the device is a little bit loud, but i cannot say any other downside to it. Must have for gaming laptops!

Si tienen una laptop gamer, necesitan sí o sí esta base enfriadora. Muy buena inversión. Algo ruidosa, pero que se puede esperar de tanta potencia que brindan las turbinas. Nada que unos audífonos no cubran sin problema. Muy buena calidad de los materiales, y se siente que me durará mucho tiempo. En el video muestro la base con el nivel máximo de enfriamiento para que se den una idea cuánto ruido hace.

Ordered this product along with a different one to replace my old laptop cooler. Both products had great reviews but this one beat the other by a few degrees :) Very happy with the purchase NOW but wasn't initially. Read on for full details but in short, this product was worth the price and keeps my laptop cooler than any of the 4 coolers I have now. This repeatedly beat the second best cooler (and not a cheap one either) by about 8 degrees Celsius on the CPU, 11 on GPU, and about 8 on the system overall. It is well built, well engineered, and has some important little features I like (i.e. the rear air deflectors that seem cheesy but actually make sense). The support that KLIMA provides is first rate and I'd buy from them again in a heartbeat. The full story: Ordered a NEW KLIMA Mistral from Amazon. Package gets here and it was obvious I had been sent a previously sold and returned cooler. The cooler was NOT packed into anything other than its original vendor box. There were old shipping labels cut off that box. The box itself was torn in a few areas and showed obvious signs of handling and wear. I opened the box and pulled out the contents. There were 2 cables loose inside the box, the air deflectors had the backing taken off for the sticky area, and the glue itself was all balled up and nasty. The rubber o-rings were also loose within the box. Nonetheless, I hooked everything up to see what it was like. One of the LEDs up front was not working and one of the fans, at idle and at level 1, was VERY rough sounding. At level 2 and 3 it matched the sound of the other fan though. I contacted KLIMA via their online support page and also sent them pictures. I expected to wait 2 or 3 days for a response and also expected to have to explain things multiple times. I had a response the next morning and right off the bat they apologized and offered to send me a new one. They explained that they did not control what Amazon sent out and that they truly were disappointed and apologetic. "They" was a support representative named Marja and she did a great job over the next few emails, albeit her native language was not English, communicating what was going on. 5 days after my initial contact with them I had my new cooler and I am loving it. Kudos to Klima and Marja for standing behind their product, righting a wrong, and showing that their stance on support isn't just words but actionable truth.

N’avais pas beaucoup d’attente sur ce produit ayant eu beaucoup de ces ventilateurs. Celui-ci en particulier fonctionne réellement je l’utilise tout le temps lors de mes montages vidéo et les jeux vidéos. L’ordinateur est largement moins sollicité sur les ventilateurs internes. Je gagne 4 degrés en moyenne sous n’importe quelle utilisation. Le seul souci qu’on pourrait lui reprocher c’est le bruit qui est pas à négligé mais pour ce que ça souffle ça se comprend il envoie énormément d’air à la louche 5x plus que n’importe quel autre ventilateur ! Niveau prix c’est vraiment cher les matériaux sont vraiment pas à rougir, c’est que du plastique on s’attend à mieux pour le prix ! Update après 1 an d’utilisation et un test OCCT sur le CPU : Avec le ventilateur : Température entre 78-81°C et 85° en peak (atteint une fois) 3100 RPM en peak ventilateur interne (très léger) 3800Mhz Sans ventilateur : Température entre 80-83°C 4700RPM ventilateur interne 3500Mhz On remarquera que le CPU chauffe plus à raison de 2 degrés et perd en performance suite à un bridage à cause de la température. Conclusion du produit : + Performance - Température + Bruit (défaut) Attention également le câble USB A fourni avec est fragile le mien a un problème de faux contact sinon RAS.
