Laptop Cooling

Why do I need a Laptop Cooler?

If you want to maintain cool, quiet operation and peak performance from your gaming laptop, then a high-performance cooler is a great solution. This is especially true when using a laptop for intensive workloads, such as AAA gaming or digital rendering. Without adequate cooling, components can start to throttle to maintain thermal targets, resulting in performance loss. Anyone who has worked or gamed on an unresponsive machine will know just how infuriating that can be! Additionally, laptop coolers spread the cooling workload, thus reducing fan noise from the internal thermal solution. As such, when overclocking or running heavy-duty applications, you can stay running at peak performance.

Plus, it is not just workloads that can affect the temperature of your laptop. Warmer environments and seasons are going to have an impact on performance - especially here in Australia! Pairing with a laptop cooler is going to keep your machine at optimum temperatures, even during the height of summer.

How do I Cool My Gaming Laptop?

The components within gaming laptops come equipped with effective cooling hardware. By adding a laptop cooler, you are providing a boost to the thermal performance and helping to increase the longevity of the laptop overall. This is due to the reduced strain on the integrated system.

Commonly mesh in design, with larger diameter fans, they are capable of moving more air at lower speeds than the smaller fans inside. As a result, the laptop stays cool without the added noise of fans spinning at high RPMs. Leaving you to enjoy your gaming soundscape.

When investing in a laptop cooler, you need to purchase one which supports the size of your hardware. Generally, laptops are either 15” or 17.3”, and the models of coolers reflect that. Certain models have added features such as an extra USB port or RGB lighting.

Features and Benefits

The biggest benefit to using a laptop cooler is, as you would imagine, improved longevity for your gaming laptop. In addition to running quieter and with less chance of throttling, it is going to be much more reliable.

What’s more, many laptop coolers hold your machine at a tilted angle, which helps with the overall ergonomics when typing or gaming. Plus, with many models featuring adjustable stands, you can configure your cooler and laptop to the degree which suits you best.
