    Hey everyone! Thank you so much for watching 😁.
    After speaking with the team at KLIM, I've been informed that they're working on correcting the Amazon listing to accurately the maximum output (4,000 RPM).
    Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! 🫡

    The cooling also depends on which laptop you’re cooling

    I got this pad. It works well with a Legion 7i Pro Gen 8. Don't even need 4000rpm, I found the sweet spot to be between 2000-3000 for optimal cooling vs noise. The downside to these foam style pads is when this pad is off your laptop with be hotter than normal since it's being smothered by the foam seal.

    If you reduce the cpu power consumption of your laptop to like 30-40 Watts, which is enough for gaming, it gets a lot cooler without the need of a cooling pad.

      Reducing power will make it cooler; that is correct. But you are missing that for each watt lowered, you are losing FPS and performance. It is not worth it in the long run for single-player games at, say, 1440p. It will only affect esports titles a little, but you will lose FPS even there. Lowering the wattage of the CPU and GPU will also hurt productivity.

      @@ald261989 Of course you are missing power, but I am using my laptop this way for a year now and its completely fine for gaming. But it depends on the cpu/gpu combination. I have a Ryzen 9 7945HX and a 4070. On the other hand I guess you are right: Rendering 3D or something like that will take longer.

      ​@@ald261989​​no, with each watt lowered you can actually gain performance up to a certain limit. At high power draws the CPU produces massive amounts of heat without any real performance increase and this leads to thermal throttling. By limiting CPU power you can actually improve GPU performance and gain FPS. Or, at the very least, your performance is more consistent and there are less framerate spikes. Limiting it to 30-40 W is actually the sweet spot to ensure consistent performance without frequent throttling. It is also worth it in the long run because your hardware lasts longer.

      Also not all bios allow undervolting

    I got this and Illano V10 (as its better then V13 older model from last year). Just going to keep both and then then later on sell the one giving me stutters because the testing these two pads will take me at least a few months so i won't be abe to return it back to Amazon. (Klim is so much quiter and usb powered upto 3300 RPM, also with Klim you can hold power button for couple of seconds to switch bottom or middle fan whilst on USB power & Illano is only mains powered) decisions decisions along with lots of testing.

    smartphones have a noise meter (with the appropriate free app), fyi

    I have a llano v2 cooler,on my ryzen 9 4070 laptop it decrease the temperature 20 degrees witout undervoltting,jndervolt i play with 60-65 degrees in cpu and gpu

      And yes,It makes noise,but i play with headphones,and the people i play with online dont hear it

    🥶 You missed the most important feature. Throttling. If the laptop isn't, there's no performance gain to get (they practically always are)
    GPU: In your game test the GPU clock jumped up 3%. In MSI the GPU was power-limited, but good way of showing the cooling capability. All in, it does seem to perform better
    CPU no video data, but the temperatures are definitely indicating massive throttling
    You could use a program like GPU-Z to monitor throttling realtime on both, in a small frame. HWinfo can also do it ;)

      I appreciate the advice and I'll definitely look into all the factors you mentioned! Hopefully I can make a more detailed update in the future 🙌🏾🥶
