KLIM Tempest Laptop Cooler with Vacuum Fan - New - Gaming Laptop Fan with Display - Temperature Detection + Automatic/Manual Mode - 4000 RPM - Portable - Compatible with Laptop Cooling Pads

A few years ago I bought a nice gaming laptop. For the first time in my life I was turning graphics UP, rather than cranking them all the way down so they would be playable. Over the years, the laptop began slowing down... frame-rate drops at first, and finally games would slow down so much that they were completely unplayable. Since my laptop was getting hotter than the surface of the sun, I suspected heat was to blame. I bought all kinds of products - a lap desk with fans, I made sure the fans were dusted out and working, the works. I downloaded software which would allow me to throttle certain functions of the laptop to reduce heat... but then it was a race between how much the software was throttling my laptop and how much the heat was causing it to throttle itself. There were some games I gave up playing entirely, simply because they played so slow it wasn't worth it. One day, I happened to see the Klim Tempest on Amazon. Very cheap - only $30, and claimed to be universal fit. I figured, what the heck.. let's try it. And now, my laptop runs... almost like new. The Klim Tempest is a miracle device. Rather than lap desks which simply blow little puffs of air at the bottom of your PC, the Klim Tempest attaches to the exhaust ports of your laptop and literally SUCKS the hot air out and shoots it out the back. I have no clue where the less than exemplary reviews I see are getting their experiences - some say the fan isn't very powerful? Maybe you're just installing or using it wrong? When I hook up my Tempest, I can put my hand over the back of it and feel it jetting out hot air. Games that used to heat my PC up to the point that I almost couldn't touch the metal surfaces... now my laptop maintains temperature and performs as it should. No more burning hot laptop.. just high-end performance. I can once again play my favorite games - games that would overheat and slow my laptop to a crawl within minutes. The Klim is quiet and powerful. You can hear it spool up when the laptop is heating up, but trust me, if you're playing games, the sound effects will WELL overpower the sound of the Tempest - you won't hear it. You'll forget it's there. The mounting mechanism is a bit awkward. I have to be honest, I wish there were a better hook-up.. but the designers were trying to make it as universal as possible, and on that front I feel they did a good job. It might take you a few minutes or a few tries to find out what works best for you, but I've found a way of setting it up where it doesn't slip off all the time, so I'm good. Maybe in the future there will be better mounting mechanisms. Four stars out of five for being a good balance between working and usable on all laptops. It functions EXACTLY as it should. You can download software to monitor your laptop's heat level, and download software to run a stress test - give it a try: hook up the Klim Tempest CORRECTLY, (meaning make sure the seal gaskets are closing off that exhaust port and the hot air will be going exclusively into the Tempest), run a stress test to build up heat, and watch the little device work its magic. I could not be more impressed. If you find your laptop getting extremely hot and performance degrading significantly, THIS DEVICE MAY BE THE ANSWER TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS. I can't guarantee that (you might have other issues) But for $30 how can you go wrong!? I can FINALLY play my games again, so I'm so happy. I sent the designers a kind note to let them know how much I appreciate it. They wrote back thrilled to hear that I was happy, and were even asking what kind of games I play - these are people who are not only developing an amazing product, but care about their customers. 100% satisfied, would have paid twice or three times the price for the difference it has made. Absolutely amazing and so glad I gave it a try.

I purchased one of these coolers out of a certain degree of curiosity and some degree of need. I have a thin-and-light gaming laptop that kicks out a lot of heat, and while it doesn't tend to thermally throttle it gets close enough that I keep my eye on things. The KLIM Tempest is very straightforward to operate and understand; a LCD readout tells you the temperature of air passing through it, whether or not the system is running in automatic mode or not, and what speed is set if not. Buttons let you adjust the minimal controls as needed. There are several rubber gaskets that you'll need to play with to get a good seal, as well as bottom "plates" that hold the whole assembly against your computer. These devices can put out a *lot* of air and I have found they notably drop device temperatures (so long as the placement of your vents and components is friendly to this kind of cooling). The only real complaint I have about the implementation as such is that the spring-loaded arms that clamp the device to the top of your laptop's deck are a bit weak and could definitely use some strengthening to keep a firmer seal. Now, for service. My first unit died somewhat inexplicably in transit while taking a train up to visit some friends. I let it sit for a while and fiddled with it occasionally, but it never came back to life. I wrote the company about the issue to file a warranty claim, and as promised got a response within 24h. They immediately offered to send a replacement unit at no cost, confirmed my address, and sent tracking information within the next day. The replacement is doing great and I'm very happy with the overall experience.

Atrocious instructions. I had to go to YouTube to figure it out. Once "installed", it just flimsily dangles there on the side of the laptop. In other words - not by any stretch of the imagination - is this thing firmly attached. Any wrong movement, even if you look at it funny, and it could fall off. It's not ideal in that sense. Having said this though, it successfully cooled down my very old Dell XPS l702x in less than 90 seconds. So, it functions well and the principle is sound. I would say that it cools much better than a large cooling pad for my particular system. This is because it sucks out the heat in a very targeted manner rather than blowing. I don't understand why laptop makers don't have this sort of thing built in from the get go.

The cooler works quite well. Set up is fairly easy and instructions are straightforward. The cooler provides a variety of mounting options. However, make sure before you order this product that your laptop fan exhaust is on the side of your laptop. Otherwise this cooler will not mount on your laptop properly. (I ordered 2 of these fans and set up worked great on my Lenovo laptop but did not work with my HP .) I'm going to keep the 2nd fan as an extra because this is a great product. The digital display is quite useful as you can monitor the changes of temperature on your laptop in comparison to the ambient temperature of the room. Definitely would recommend this high quality cooler with vacuum fan.

Do they drop the CPU and GPU temps super cold.. no.. Dell runs too much voltage with a share heat pipe for that to work.. but.... it does take them longer to get to their stable below throttling temps... and - far less heat soak so I can game longer without the creep in temps I saw before. The body of the laptop stays cool now vs. uncomfortably warm. Got two; one for each vent. Connecting them was awkward on a Dell G16 - but i just stuck the suction cups under the back feet and the cooling deck it sits on holds them. So; easy enough solution. They get a bit loud at full speed but - not annoying about it. Feel quality. The comic thing included was a nice touch - as were the stickers.

Does actually work. My laptop is a gaming one, bit old, so runs hot, this helps to keep it cool. Good design, works well.

The product works temprature decrease is visible my exhaust vent (side vent) kept getting hot after hours of daily usage , the device helps it be cool , height works for a flat table it won't works for a laptop stand though, device itself feels premium and rich , automatic and manual modes are easy to use the temprature reading display works well. Got it on sale for almost half the mrp definitely feel value for money ,

I was on the hunt for some kind of cooling pad for my gaming laptop that kept throttling during gaming due to heat. Some times to the point where games would become unplayable until I shut them down and let it cool off. I just happened to see this different looking thing in one of the web pages I was reading reviews on. It immediately caught my attention because of its size and the very reasonable price. Pros: - very affordable for the amount of cooling you get - compact size - very quiet - quieter than the fan on my actual laptop when in use! - "Automatic" mode that regulates the speed based on detected temperatures - very adaptable with all it's different attachments - measured decrease in laptop temps using HWMonitor - super great and responsive service from actual people!! Neutral - This is nothing the fault of the device, but of my lack of awareness of sizes. It covers up one of the USB ports on my laptop. I'm just adding this for other in case they too forget to look for such things. Notes: The first one I received was louder than I expected, but I wasn't too concerned. Until it started really resonating and vibrating. There was clearly something loose inside as it would have a slight rattle when shaken. I suspect it was something from the shipping and handling part of the purchase. I reached out to support and they were very thorough and gracious in replacing it after giving me very thoughtful suggestions to try to fix it first. When the new one arrived I was astounded by just how quiet it was. It's a great little device.

Ich habe mich nach einem Kühler für mein Gaming Notebook angeschaut und bin hierbei auf das Klim Tempest gestoßen. Der Kühler kommt in einer schlichten Verpackung daher, im Lieferumfang enthalten ist neben dem Lüfter, ein Anschlusskabel, Sticker, Quick-Start-Guide und diverse Befestigungsmöglichkeiten. Der Lüfter wird entweder an die Seite des Lüfter befestigt, die die warme Luft rausbläst, hierbei kann man zwischen einer Platte mit Saugnäpfen oder einer mit Klebestreifen entscheiden. Der Lüfter selber hat eine Temperaturanzeige sowie zwei Knöpfe zum runter und hochregeln des Lüfters. Hierbei kann der Lüfter laut werden, was an sich nicht schlimm ist, da man eh mit einem Headset spielt. Hierbei kühlte dieser ziemlich gut, sodass meine Temperatur auf 5 Grad runtergegangen ist. Man kann diesen z.B. auch als portablen Kühler im Sommer benutzen, wenn man eine Powerbank hat. Ich bin zufrieden mit der Leistung und werde diesen auch im Sommer benutzen.

Pues realmente ayuda bastante a refrigerar el portátil. Lo tengo instalado en un MSI cyborg 15 y se adapta genial. Es muy fácil de poner. Lo tengo junto con una base de refrigeración thermaltake massive y se nota mucho a la hora de jugar. Además lo puedes quitar y poner con facilidad. Yo solo lo pongo a la hora de exigirle rendimiento al portátil, aunque lo puedes dejar puesto siempre.
