KLIM Everest Laptop Cooling Pad | New Version | Powerful Turbo-Fan 4300 RPM Laptop Cooler | Sealed Foam for Maximum Performance | Avoid Overheating and Protect Your Gaming Laptop | 14-17.3 in

After seeing an online review I purchased the KLIM laptop cooler and it does indeed reduce the temperature whilst gaming. Its fairly big and bulk so not easily portable and the fans are loud but is a necessary evil. The controls are easy to use and the LED lights are a nice touch.The foam actually held my 17" laptop in place.Does what it says!

wow it pays to spend a little more good quality product well made works great

Dropped my temperatures down by 10C and really good price.

I have a new MSI Stealth laptop that loves nothing more than to thermal throttle in heavy gaming sessions. These laptop manufacturers do love to push for ever thinner builds leaving the heat nowhere to go! So, I was casting around for something to help with the situation when I came across these positive air pressure models from Klim.I'm normally pretty sceptical about fan mats as I've seldom seen much improvement with them before. Klim's solution is putting an airtight(ish) seal around the base and pushing air through the laptop via its bottom grills. Cutting to the chase, with the Klim Everest pad on full power, the laptop is taking longer to throttle, and cools off much quicker the moment the load is reduced. You can really feel the extra air spilling out of the vents on the laptop too. It's not a game-changing result, but it's noticeably eased the issue and is very welcome. On a playthrough of Far Cry 6 on very high settings I've seen a real improvement in the laptop's ability to keep to 75fps on 4K when before I'd be seeing throttling losses down to the mid-low 60s.The fans on the Klim Everest are quite powerful on full blast but not overly loud. Certainly they are not anything like as loud as my built in laptop fans on 100% which sound like a vacuum cleaner, so the less time I have to spend listening to them is definitely a win!Depending on the game and its demands on your hardware, you could sit the Klim at a middle fan setting and it's reasonably quiet. Doing windows tasks on a low fan setting and you'll forget the fan is even on!So, on to the design of the mat itself...Away from its pictures on Amazon, the appearance of the Klim Everest did not impress quite frankly. It's big and tacky looking in its kids-toy-silver livery. The plastic build feels cheap and the design lacks charm. It's also quite bulky and although not heavy, its size prevents portability. My sleek MSI resting on it looks like a gazelle on top of an elephant.The 4 strips of coloured LED lights strung around the base feel like an afterthought and do nothing to increase the appeal. So, if you're style conscious about your gaming set up - this may not be a good look for you. Personally I'm all about results so I don't much care!The foam mat the laptop rests on is held in place by some poorly fitting magnetic buttons and doesn't feel robust or secure. However it seems to hold in place with the laptop weight resting on it no problem so maybe I'm being a little too judgemental. I've had no issues with the laptop sliding around which bedevils some other cooling pads. There are plastic flaps to stick over the intake vents to stop already hot air expelled from the laptop finding its way back in, but these are literally just plug-in plastic squares shoved in the box, rather than properly fitted to the unit. It feels like a bit of a design fudge - like nobody thought of this potential problem until just before the product got released.This plastic chonker of a pad cost me 40 quid, which I feel OK about given it's doing what I need it to do. I'd not be pleased if I were paying more though as the build quality simply does not justify higher prices. I don't yet know how gracefully the pad will age. If it keeps on running well though, I can cautiously recommend this pad to you as a credible, if not altogether graceful solution to overheating!As the product states, make sure you do have air vents on the underside of your laptop before you buy this product or it'll do diddly squat. If you only have small underside vents it may also not be worthwhile.

Great design a Little noisy but does the job overall worth the money

The build quality on this is shocking. Has zero weight to it & overall quality is that of a £5 laptop cooler.The built in legs, buttons, even the foam using to create a gap between your laptop & the fans are just pure rubbish!What a dissappointment

I bought this cooling pad to assist with cooling down my new gaming laptop. It is massively underpowered. I have noticed no help in the cooling as the fans barely blow.I thought this would be a cheaper alternative to some of the more expensive versions available, but it seems it just looks like the pro ones, no better than a cooling pad at circa £20-330, and paying a slight bit more here (£50!) for the looks without performance was a waste of time.Either just get a cheap one just as good so your laptop isn't sitting on an uneven surface, or get a proper one for £120.

The media could not be loaded. This is quite a lightweight laptop cooling stand that's has a slightly different design to others I've had previously. This one has a thick, detachable foam pad that the laptop sits on and there isn't anything that specifically holds the laptop in place. I tried it with my 14” laptop and it held it in place fine. Since the foam pad is held on by magnets, it's easy to remove for cleaning purposes.There are 2, what I call fins, supplied and these can go on the rear of the stand to alter the airflow. Dependent on where it needs to go on your specific laptop. This do cover up the LED lighting though. There's certainly plenty of clear space underneath my laptop for good airflow.The lighting has a range of static colours, together with one moving, multi-coloured one and these are controlled via a single button on the front.Noise wise, this isn't very noisy, even on the highest setting of 4300rpm. The speed is shown on a small display situated on the front bottom of the stand. Next to that are the buttons for the lighting, + & - fan speed and an on/off.On the underside are two adjustable feet, giving you several height settings.The stand does benefit from 2 USB-A ports, meaning you have spare for peripherals.The overall build quality is ok, but it's very much hard plastics all-round. You really wouldn't want to drop this on a hard surface.Having only recently received this I'm not in a position to comment on the medium to long-term reliability. However, the stand does come with a 5yr guarantee.This is a decent enough stand for the price but I do think the lighting is a little underwhelming though.I hope you found this review & photos interesting, informative, and useful.
