llano made another “gaming laptop cooling pad”, but is it worth buying?.. (V10)

A few months ago we looked at a laptop cooling pad from llano and found that it was actually pretty effective at cooling a couple of my hot PCs. Today, we're checking out the smaller V10, to see what's changed, and whether it's any good.

Thanks for watching :)

Most people here really ignoring the long term benefits of the dust filter, that alone makes it much better compared to other normal cooling pads

I wish these cooling pads had some way to accommodate the AC charger too. I've had laptop chargers get so hot, you literally couldn't touch them without burning yourself.

[alchemik]

The price is absurd, but honestly I'm quite impressed with the effectiveness. I defaulted a long time ago to passive laptop stands, just making sure they have plenty of breathing space and it works well enough for my needs... But it's cool to know that if you have problems with overheating a well designed cooling pad actually does something beside occupying a desperately-needed USB slot. :p

Given how much the temps drop it would also be interesting to see how the performance changes. Pretty sure that dropping 11c from GPU would allow boosting higher, same with CPU. Fps changes, benchmark scores and rendering times would be good to include!

[ivaylotsankov]

Loose the RGB and 50% of the price and then... maybe.

[MusicHavenSG]

Another experiment to try. Can you use these Laptop Pressure coolers to cool your desktop from the top panel instead?

[niezzayt]

I bought their first version, and I definitely recommend it to all my families and relatives

[Audiosenses]

Would be interesting if you buy two of these and Jerry rig them together and place your desktop pc on top of it. Then see the temps. 😂 Just a silly idea here! Love the channel!

[BurnerAccount-uiet]

Definitely useful for the Heat Problem, HP gaming laptops that do nothing but overheat and throttle

[MotoCat]

As soon as you mentioned "propping up with a small stand" I had flashbacks to my late teens when all I had was a laptop and every time I wanted to game I'd shove my wallet under the back to prop it up
Wobbly, hot, loud, burning hands on top and cooking soup by the exhaust all to play the original Modern Warfare as a filthy noobtuber.. simpler times 🤣

People would get especially mad when they found out I sniped them using a touch pad

[randombatexe]

iceberg and you are my third tech youtube favs behind ltt and dawid does tech stuff

[bradj]

This vs the GT500 cooler from IETS would be an interesting comparison video. I use the GT500 myself personally, and it's amazing, albeit it is about $70-$80.

[DJSammy.]

I made one for wifes overheating laptop. One 14cm fan with usb-to-3pin cable some wood and cardboard.

[lambo]

Really good review. Shame you didn’t do the noise in db’s at the different temps too.

[terrybeark]

i just bought this as a 2nd cooling pad, with 2000 rpm plus changed the thermal paste to ptm 7950, i managed to hold the i7 12700h temps below 90c. it was previously maxing out at 97c in aircond'ed room. also my country has an avergae temp of 33c during day time.

I bought a v12 for my MacBook Pro with i9 9980HK/5600M/64GB Ram bootcamped with win 11 and use it on my acer predator with 13900HX/4080/32GB Ram as well. The performance gains are there, but it’s the 1% low FPS that has massive gains from total throttle prevention. My predator timespy went from
19, 641 to 20, 088 with just the cooler present. My MacBook definitely throttles if I have the CPU max set to 100%. There is absolutely zero throttling with the v12 running at its lowest setting (300 rpm; I run it at 800-1000). It’s honestly crazy how this thing drops temps. Max temp during starfield on MBP was 100 on several cores without llano. Max temp is 78 on the hottest core with it running on 1000rpm. My predator doesn’t throttle, but it drops temps by 20+ on the GPU and CPU during gaming. The design is pretty darn amazing. Love the foam surround to seal the bottom so all the air is forced into the chassis. It is definitely some kind of expensive memory foam. I like that I can turn the RGB off, even though I like RGB (it matches my predator nicely). The price is perfectly fine for what it is. It has external inputs and a nice dust shield with a replacement filter as well. The MOST important aspect is not dropping temps to game per se… it’s to extend the life of your laptop(s) by keeping them consistently cooler. Heat kills components. I would definitely buy another one of these coolers. It’s a great product and I’m very critical of stuff like this. $92.74 for the best cooler on the market isn’t a horrible price to pay to protect laptops that are worth thousands; as long as you keep them clean as well..

V12 is a beast. Unfortunately I couldn't get a proper seal all the way around my XPS 15 so I returned it for the smaller V10. So far it's been nothing short of exceptional for a product notorious for thermal throttling, can definitely recommend either - just make sure you can achieve a full seal around your bottom panel to prevent any air loss as that would make the coolers less effective.

[LelandHasGames]

Interesting little thing I came across. So, I have a Chromebook and, it has zero active cooling. It would get really hot. It isn't the most powerful machine but, a lot of potential performance is lost due to it throttling because it had no active cooling. I hacked it and put windows on it. I also got a cooling pad. It actually improves performance significantly. There's actually a really good use for these things.

[thadoemahar_gaming]

Have you heard how the fans of MSI GS75 10SF Stealth on Cooler Boost mode? It's like a jet flying beside you. Even than, it always gets overheat and shutdown automatically whenever I play Hogwarts Legacy no matter how I clean the inside and reapply thermal paste and pads.

[ElectricEric]

Mine stopped working, turns out the control board burnt up. even worse none of the control boards or the fan have any information on them, just to make sure any makers out there can't attempt a repair
