Will using the USB Hub via USB-C to USB-A draw less power from the laptop? Ex. Connecting mouse/keyboard onto the Ilano cooler instead of directly to the laptop. Or is the difference negligible?
That is a great question. To be fully transparent I don't know 100%. My educated guess is no. I think it would be negligible. As one scenario I could see is that since this has an AC adapter giving it power that the USB device could use the AC power to get power. If this is being used as an actual USB Hub instead of getting power off the PC anyways. But then it would still need to transmit that data to the PC itself. Which would still use energy. So I suppose if you had something that needed a lot of power you could see an improvement. But with most of these things being pretty low-power anyways I can't imagine it would make a big enough difference to make it worth it. Additionally, depending on what your using it could add latency as you are adding another chain into the mix. Again, I think in most cases that latency would be negligible. But personally, if I was playing a competitive game I would want my mouse plugged directly into my PC instead of a hub to ensure the fastest theoretical latency. How USB Protocol works makes that a bit dicy once you start diving it a bit. But this is really just a long paragraph saying I don't think it matters.
Makes sense, since there aren't any fans in the laptop to actually pull in the cold air ... Plus I believe the ventilation for Macs are on the side/top, or at least this is the case for my Mac Pro
@@tacobear1 I have never owned a Pro device so I wouldn't know. But if it is in the top then that probably wouldn't work either. No airflow. But yes, exactly. No where for it to actually provide cooling. As the shell of the Air is metal, which then has a heatsink beneath that, which then has the APU (I think that's the correct term) - apple silicon - under that. So to provide cooling you'd need to hyper cool the metal enough to be helping the heatsink get cooler. Which isn't going to happen with diffuse airflow.
@@ThomasMuehler Just got the cooler, and the way its supposed to set on the cooler, it doesn't work right, in fact, the foam lines up with the vents on the bottom raising temps. However if i slide the laptop a bit down, and cover the controls up, it does work well. Nearly 30C temp difference when under a full synthetic load from my oven cooling rack i was using before to what it is now.
@@charizard4410 Yeah, the vent placements definitely can have some effect on how well it sits. I had to do the same thing with moving it down. But 30 C is definitely nothing to scoff at.
I'm probably not going to. However, a lot of times you can get the "same" product from a different manufacturer. Especially, on Amazon. As the product you listed looks exactly the same as this guy. Just different enough they can't sue each other. Does that make sense?
I have use this for 4 month on my lenovo legion slim 5 14inch . It beast . Reduce -14°c cpu gpu bc play bf2042. Intensive cpu game.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!
This is an amazing video, subscribed!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Welcome to the family Frutori!

This might be really good for MacBook Air's. Since they don't have active cooling and the spot where the CPU is located gets hot hot hot under load
Unfortunately, this doesn't work at all for MacBook Air's. I tried and saw no difference at all.

2:43 its in built graphics in your CPU so its the same temp as CPU temp
That makes total sense. And I feel like an idiot. Thanks for pointing that out!
That looks like it came from the engine of an alien spaceship
Lol. Yes, yes it does.
may the algorithm be in your favour
Might have to try this for my m18, 90c is a bit above my comfort zone.
If you do I'd love to hear your results!
@@ThomasMuehlerIt'll be a few weeks, i get tons of hotel points and i just ordered gift cards but ill try to remember to reply as soon as i get it
@@charizard4410 Totally understand. I'm not going anywhere. So if you remember I'd love to hear the results!

Please try IETS GT600 as well
