KLIM Wind

Made a massive difference to the laptop overheating if I wanna have it on my lap and play. And it turns off upon shutting down the laptop. Comes with some nice stickers and looks well made. The small stoppers that prevent the laptop from sliding are a great additio. It's good value for money , hopefull the material will hold long enough without issues. Seems to be mental on top and plastic at the bottom, however it does make it lightweight. And it's quite silent.

First Impressions / Packaging So the packaging was great, it comes bubble wrapped with additional stickers, company contact information, quick start guide, USB cable and a shipping note that was hilarious (see attached photo). The shipping note is very over the top and aimed to make you laugh but if a manufacturer is willing to go to these lengths to make the experience pleasant you know they've put time and effort into the product. Product So I was after a stand alongside something that would keep my PC cool, this stood out to me with great reviews and red LED lighting that complimented my laptop nicely. The stand can either lay flat on your lap or at an angle - quite a large angle that better suits me for typing, at the bottom most corners of the product are 2 hinges that can extend to keep your laptop in place. I found these unnecessary as the product is very rigid and firm being made from metal, in case your laptop doesn't have much grip there a nice additional feature. Overall the build quality is great with metal venting between the fans and rigid plastic to hold everything in place. The fans are controllable via 2 little dials next to the USB ports (see attached photos), 1 dial controlling the bottom 2 fans and 1 controlling the top. As for the USB ports that are included, either can be used to attach straight to any USB input on your laptop with the other then acting as an additional USB for your laptop, essentially your not losing a valuable USB port by using this cooler. Noise is a difficult one as I don't really mind a bit of fan noise, there is an evident whirr from the fans once you plug the product in however I find myself forgetting its there after a minute or so. I would say they are quiet although I don't have much to reference too. One observation is that my laptop ran cooler overall before the internal fans had to kick in - my laptops internal fan being much louder than these fans overall. Temps Now the all important bit - temperatures. This is going to vary laptop to laptop depending on whether they have venting underneath to allow air inflow, mine has several passive vents that can utilise this stand although id imagine some laptops have even greater venting which would allow for better cooling overall. Putting your hand on the product you can feel a nice cool and even breeze, like a cushion of air beneath your laptop, I was actually quite impressed by how much air these could push! As each fan is a moving part this will have an effect on your battery life, as there controllable though i found having them on minimal setting still kept me cooler overall with minimal battery drain. My idle temps without the stand are 50C CPU and 41C GPU, with the stand these average at about 42C CPU and 34C GPU. I used 3dMark Benchmarking software alongside CPUID to get an accurate temperature before and after, I ran a DX12 test on loop for 1 hour with intention to stress both CPU and GPU, results can be seen in the pictures but for a quick summary - 1 hour 3DMark DX12 Stress Test CPU - 78 without stand, 71 with stand GPU - 77 without stand, 70 with stand So overall I've seen about a 7 degree drop on average after an hours stress testing. Small bursts or casual use and idling I tend to see a 10-12 degree drop on average. I've actually seen a slight increase in my 3DMark bench scores also due to the cooler GPU. I must also note that I under-volt my laptop and have recently changed thermal paste and refurbished the fan and cooling system so my results aren't going to be overwhelming, you might see a higher increase on an older less maintained laptop as fan systems become more inefficient over time as dust builds up. Still I never see either the CPU or GPU reach above 78C even after hours of gaming on such games as GTA V running at 1080p very high settings. My build for those curios is a Asus ZX553VD featuring - i5 7300HQ, Nvidia GTX 1050, 16 GB DDR4 Ram, Samsung 970 Pro 1TB M2 Drive + Standard 2.5mm 1TB HDD So under normal conditions this cooler/stand gives me a 10C drop in temps and looks great holding my laptop at a decent viewing/typing angle. Definitely worth a buy and would thoroughly recommend.

I bought an off-brand laptop cooler from a high street store because my laptop was getting really hot when it was on my lap in bed. I found, over the course of a few weeks, that the off-brand cooler was just making more noise and seemed to be actively fighting the airflow of the laptop somehow. It certainly wasn't helping. Then I tried a Coolermaster giant-fan one, and that was next to useless. Marginal gains (at best), and zero benefit at worst. This is my final attempt. Rather three medium fans and one huge fan the pad has foud smaller fans. Normally smaller means noisier, and that's certainly the case versus the 230mm fan, but they're no noisier than the larger off-brand fans. A slight rattle and hum is all this pad adds when operating at a nominal speed. The only noise comes when you turn the fan speed right up to get it working. Ironically it's not the fans themselves making all the noise, it's the whooshing of the air past the grilles and the humm because the pad's fan and laptop fan seem to interfere with each other a little. When tested during gaming, the laptop CPU was 67oC without the pad, and 62oC with the pad. Holding the laptop in the air, it dropped to 66oC, so the pad is marginally effective. During normal usage on my lap, the CPU was 45oC on my lap, and 42oC when on the pad. it was 45oC when I held it in the air. I basically think the laptop's cooling pipes are doing quite well, but the pad does help. It's not going to amaze you with its cooling abilities, and any noise saved from the laptop's fans will be offset by the whooshing noise of the air from this pad. I'd say the best case is when you have a 13.4" laptop that gets really hot, and you want to use it in bed. The pad will separate it from the bed sheets and allow air to flow properly. It certainly looks the business. The blue lights look really nice, and the styling is VERY cool. My only bugbear is that the laptop keeps USB power on when it's in sleep mode, so the pad keeps spinning until I unplug it. I don't even know if the pad can do something about that, it sounds like a laptop issue, but I mention it so you're aware. It's a lovely looking pad, and marginally effective, and also relatively inexpensive (at present). Four Stars.

Wow super looking and quality, very ligh and quiet 😁 my laptop is much cooler when playing games. Recommended

This was a spur-of-the-moment purchase on my part. I've waited a couple of months before reviewing, simply because I still wasn't sure I'd made the right decision. I think I have, though. After buying an ASUS Tuf FX505 laptop a month earlier than I bought this, I thought to myself, "you've just spent the better part of a grand on a laptop, you may as well spend a couple of extra tenners more on making sure it doesn't explode before its time". I already had a cooling pad, but it wasn't exactly top-of-the-range even ten years ago, when I originally bought it. So began a period of research on laptop cooling mats - do they even make any difference at all? If so, which one should I get? Would any of them be any better than the thing I already had for my old laptop? After reading an assortment of top ten lists, I finally narrowed it down to... none of them. I went to buy one, and this KLIM Wind one popped up in the Amazon search results, on special offer. I'd never heard of KLIM, and neither had most of the reviewers who'd commented on it either, nor did it show up in any of my research, but I looked at the specs and some of the customer reviews, noticed the price (which was considerably lower than the one I had intended to buy), and decided to take the plunge. And I'm really glad I did. As mentioned, I've never heard of KLIM, and KLIM appears to be aware of that - they've gone to great lengths to try to show that they're focussed on quality. When you unbox this thing you'll get a svelte black envelope containing a heartfelt tale about the product's eventful and fanciful journey to your house, which apparently included better parties than I've ever had. It really triggered my 'root for the underdog' feels. I'm not so easily swayed, though. When I tossed that adorable tale aside and unwrapped the actual laptop-protecting product itself, I was initially worried. When it's *not* got a laptop sitting on it, and you're just waving it around in your hands as a loose product, it doesn't *feel* particularly sturdy. It's essentially a (not-so-premium) plastic frame with four fans in it, with a grille over the top of them. It *feels* flimsy, at least when you're waving it around. That was a bad take on my part, though. It's not *designed* to be waved around. Place it down on a desk, put a laptop on it, plug it all in, and that whole 'flimsy' feeling fades away. It's difficult to explain, but it suddenly *becomes* sturdy with a laptop resting on top of it. While it was creaky and it rattled as I waved it around, once my laptop was sitting on it, suddenly it could support the weight of my entire upper body leaning on the thing without even making a sound. I'm currently writing this review on my laptop on this very cooling pad, and I just pushed down as hard as I could on the laptop's wrist-rest, and the pad didn't move and made no noises whatsoever. It's sturdy *while it's being used*, which is the main thing. And it really works, too. The ASUS Tuf doesn't even have intakes where the fans are on this pad, and I'm *still* recording a 10°C temperature reduction at load - I tested it on Fallout 4 with a series of graphical enhancement mods and the Photorealistic Commonwealth ENB, and it consistently ran 10°C cooler while on this KLIM Wind than it did without. It really does make a difference. And as an aside, I don't know if this is by design or not, but when your laptop is positioned 'properly' on the pad, a thin sliver of cold air blows up directly onto your wrists, which - whether by design or not - really helps to keep your wrists cool after long sessions. Imagine one of those Dyson Air Blade hand dryers, but less violent, cold, and aimed directly at your wrists, and you'll get what I mean here. There are two 'rocker' controls at the back of the pad; one controls the brightness of the LEDs in the fans (the LEDs are largely pointless, to be honest, as your laptop will be sitting over the top of them - you can only see the light effects when viewing from the side), and the other controls the speed at which the fans spin. I've got the fan speed set to maximum permanently, and it's still pretty quiet compared to the laptop's own internal fans. These two 'rockers' are somewhat difficult to access unless you're looking directly at them, and they could potentially have been better-placed on the side somewhere, but they work and do their job. The cooling pad connects to your laptop with a USB cable, and you have two USB ports on the back of the pad. One of those USB ports will be taken up by connecting the pad to the laptop, but while connected to your laptop the extra port is essentially a mini-hub that you can plug anything into. This means that you essentially don't lose a USB port due to the pad - I've stuck my mouse dongle into the spare port on the back of the pad, where I don't need to worry about it ever again. Once you've got the thing placed on your desk, you've got a couple of positioning options. You can either let it lie flat on your desk, or you can use the 'feet' at the back to raise it up. I've got it raised up on the legs; I find it more comfortable like that, and the pad doubles as a riser in that configuration. There are a couple of 'frontal pegs' (as the product description calls them) at the front of the pad which you can kick up to prevent the laptop from sliding down when it's tilted in this way. Those 'frontal pegs' do indeed stop your laptop from sliding off the pad when it's angled, but they do form my primary complaint about this product - they have pretty sharp corners, with no kind of rubber coating or cushioning at all. My personal ASUS laptop is quite a thick gaming laptop, so those corners are somewhat flush with the body of the laptop and only present a problem if I happen to catch myself on them. But when I swap that out for my work laptop, which is a thinner, more conventional HP notebook, those sharp corners are a lot more noticeable, and protrude above the chassis of the machine - and can be painful! If you have a particularly thin laptop, these could present something of a problem to your wrists. This could've been fixed just with a simple rubber pad - and, to be honest, could be fixed by me with a bit of BluTak - but it's a notable downside to a product that's otherwise seen so much attention to detail. Beyond the sharp support pegs, though I have absolutely no complaints and no regrets. I've even bought a second one for my nephew! P.S. Make sure you dust your desk before you turn this thing on - the fans *are not* weak, and *will* suck-up anything beneath them!

A great product, it works exceptionally well with an HP laptop (14s-dq5503sa) at an ambient temperature of 30 degrees Celsius. With MS Excel, OneNote and a web browser running, the core temperatures hover around 55 degrees, while when I run Silent Hunter 3, the core temperatures reach 67 degrees, which in my opinion is a very good result at an ambient temperature of 30 degrees. The device has two sets of cooling fans (each set contains 2 fans), whose speed can be adjusted independently with two sliders (one per set). Built-in USB port, possibility to set the cooling pad at an angle. Locks at the bottom of the pad prevent the laptop from sliding off, and the rear legs are foldable with non-slip rubber pads. The construction is durable enough for normal use and does its job very well. The pad comes with Klim stickers, which are a nice touch. Thank you.

So it's rare that I place a review but I'm so impressed with this cooling pad down to the little details 1. Packaging was on point even a little comic book within the box which I thought was funny! 2. Looks fantastic really zesty 3.fucntions as intended, I need thermal past for my gaming laptop however this cooling pad brings down the temp quite well considering the price, dont get me wrong its not a magic fix but does bring then temps down Overall if you are in the market for one use this brand :)

Overall it works well to improve air circulation and cooling underneath a laptops case, but the fans may be working against the direction of the airflow in or out. There are some significant improvements that could be made to this product. It would almost certainly benefit the air circulation through the laptop if the the fans had a switch to reverse the airflow to compliment the laptops intended direction of airflow. The upright hinged pegs that are rests for the lower edge of the laptop keyboard could have more than one height setting and also a greater lock to hold its upwards position would be helpful. Also the underside rear legs of the tray would also be better if they had a firmer lock to hold them in the out position.
