Notepal U3 Plus

Pros: Works great and is very quiet, even with fans at maximum speed. Using it on an Alienware 17 R4 i7-7820hk. Have checked it on a game that pushes the cpu hard, and on stress tests, both before and after using this cooler. In standard, non-overclocked mode, the temps are running around 7-10 degrees celsius cooler than without the cooler stand. When overclocked to 4.2ghz, with the laptop fans running at full, it does hit 98 degrees celsius at times, compared to around 100 degrees without the cooler stand. That would be as fast as I would overclock it for any length of time without doing a cpu repaste. I also tested it at 4.4 ghz, and temps were around 100 degrees celsius. For this laptop, 4.1ghz seems to be the ideal overclock, as temps stay in the low to mid 90s celsius with the cooler stand, depending on what you're doing. Before, without the cooler stand, even 4.1ghz overclock was approaching 98 degrees or so. So it seems to be doing its job, as I wanted to keep temps below 100 degrees, even when overclocking mildly. Depending on what you're doing, and how much of an overclock you're running, the cooler stand does seems to drop the temps between 2-8 degrees celsius, on a consistent basis. And running the cooler stand fans on high is no problem, as they're still whisper quiet. The moveable fans are easy to place where you want them, so you get the maximum cooling in the areas that you want it. So far, my laptop has not slipped on the stand....it has some rubber on the forward and backward part of the stand, which seems to be doing a good job at gripping the laptop so far. Since I only overclock it at home attached to my large monitor and using an external keyboard/mouse, I can always use the strap that is provided if it does start to slip on the stand. I did also check out using the laptop and its keyboard, and the angle of the cooler stand is not too much.....my hands seemed to still be comfortable, and typing and using the touchpad seemed to be just fine at that angle. I could see the laptop maybe slipping some if you were doing some hard gaming on the laptop using its keyboard. Cons: Nothing so far Would highly recommend this to anyone needing something to cool your laptop 2-10 degrees celsius. Keeps things below the max operating temps, even when mildly overclocked. 4.4ghz was even achievable, and the laptop still stayed just under 100 degrees celsius for the majority of the time. But, as I said before, I wouldn't do that kind of overclocking on a continuous basis unless I repasted the cpu. Overall, I am very pleased. For under 50 bucks, this stand does a nice job in helping keep temps manageable, even with mild overclocking, and the moveable fans are a huge plus. Edit: After doing more testing with Timespy, I am able to overclock to 4.2ghz with consistent temps below 98 degrees celsius. I have a feeling that a lot of this might be due to ambient temps, as my computer room was around 72 degrees F when I did my earlier tests. I normally have my window open a bit, with a small fan running to bring down the ambient temps(as my desktop is an old Athlon 2 970 that I have overclocked to the hilt, and it produces a lot of heat). So after bringing my computer room ambient temp down to around 68 F, I can overclock to 4.2 ghz with temps on HWmonitor around 97-98 tops on a consistent basis after the timespy benchmarks and stress tests. Before the laptop cooler, I couldn't do that, as temps were hitting 100 C and slightly above. VERY PLEASED!!!! Edit, 11/13/17: After fooling more with fan placement on the cooler stand, and updating the bios of my Alienware laptop, I am now running 4.2ghz overclocked, with temps averaging in the mid 80s to low 90s, with the occasional spike to 94.

Solid Cooling Solution with Customizable Fans The Cooler Master NotePal U3 Plus has been an excellent addition to my laptop setup. The aluminum frame feels sturdy yet lightweight, and the built-in handle makes it easy to carry around. The three fans are the standout feature—you can slide and position them exactly where your laptop tends to get hottest. For me, placing one directly under the CPU area made a big difference in keeping temps down during longer gaming and work sessions. Noise is minimal, especially compared to the built-in fans ramping up under load. It’s more of a gentle hum, which is easy to tune out. The design also gives the laptop a slight tilt, which feels more natural for typing and improves airflow. I appreciate that it doubles as a protective carrying case when traveling, adding to its practicality. If there’s one small thing to keep in mind, it’s that the fans draw power from a USB port, so you’ll lose one connection unless you pair it with a hub. That said, the cooling improvement is well worth it. Bottom line: A well-built, effective cooling pad with customizable fan placement—great for anyone looking to extend laptop performance and comfort.

This thing is... a little different than it’s competition. First off, the fan speed seems to be awful when you first start to use it. I’ve ran it about 3 times, a few hours each. And each time, the fans seem to pull more and more air, when cranked up to max power. Maybe my laptop just can’t decide how much amperage to give the fans, or maybe the fans are breaking in a bit and working better. I’m not sure. But I just used it today, and the airflow is great now. So if you get one, and see all the posts about “The fans are weak, REEEEE!” Give it a few hours. Maybe plug it straight into a usb adaptor on a wall outlet, and see if your laptop is putting out a similar amount of amperage. Also, this thing is BIG. We’re talking “Can fit a 19” laptop” big. It’s set up so you can strap your laptop to it and carry the whole thing like a wire strewn briefcase, but my 15” Macbook Pro is too small for the support legs to support the laptop, and it would fall right through if I tried to carry it as intended. Besides that, it’s a solid system, and very modular. The fans detatch and can be placed wherever you want them on the mesh, and the cord is able to be clipped on wherever you want. What really caught my eyes is that, as I understand it, the fans themselves can be taken apart if needed. So, if one fails, you can probably loosen 2 or 4 Phillips screws and pop the fan apart and replace it. And if a cord breaks somewhere, just about anywhere, you can cut and splice it back together. Overall, I’m pretty happy with it, despite it being a monster of a pad. I gave it 4 stars because I’d have preferred one about 3” smaller on the diagonal, more suited for the common 15” to 17” laptop. But I can totally live with this.

My laptop: MacBook pro 15 in. I have searched far and wide for a good quality cooling mat that would look great on my desk without having to break the bank. After reading a lot of reviews on many different products, I chose the U3 and, let me tell you my friends, I am not disapointed at all! The movable fans are perfect for any type of laptops and you can also target any area/component that might get hot depending on what you do with your device. It is very easy to move and lock them with the simple push of a button. I use my laptop do a lot of multitasking on different monitors and after some time if I had to many programs running, my CPU would get really hot and the computer would shutdown until I let it cool a bit. Haven't had any problem since I got the the cooling mat. The product's quality is phenomenal... you can't really go wrong with Cooler Master. The mat is sturdy, nothing slips and it's also very ggod looking on the desk next to the monitor. Also the price is more than affordable for what you get. If you are looking for a good cooling mat that you can keep for a long time and customize to your needs, look no further this is for you. I totally recommend this product and would by it again as a gift anytime.

Dépasse, de chaque côté latéral du PC, de 1 cm... Paraît costaud, les matériaux semblent de bonne qualité, SOBRE (rare de nos jours), les 3 ventilateurs se clippent aisément et rapidement sous la grille, sont absolument silencieux . La "puissance" du pouvoir de rafraichissement n'est peut-être pas hyper puissante mais la trilogie des ventilateurs fixables sous les endroits "chauds" (à déterminer soi-même) laissent une grande mobilité d'action quant à ce "rafraichissement" de la machine et le métal du PC (sous celui-ci) reste FROID !!! Donc, cela fonctionne correctement. N.B. 1 : Ni le surpoids de ce socle ni l'encombrement éventuel ne sont gênants (également bien conçu pour le transport)... N.B. 2 : La "sangle" (vulgaire bande élastique -en tissu élastique mal cousu-, de 3 ou 4 cm de largeur) est très efficace pour éviter tout glissement de la machine hors de son socle lors de son utilisation. En résumé : IMPECCABLE & TRES BON RAPPORT QUALITE / PRIX ; -bien plus efficace, robuste (qualité matériaux) et esthétique (sobriété oblige) que les KLIM acquis auparavant !-

Es grande, de calidad, aguanta un portátil grande y el caudal de aire es generoso. Lo he probado en tres equipos, dos que tienen entre 7 y 8 años y un notepad de unos 5 años. Los dos primeros, de 15,4 y 17 siempre he sido muy escrupuloso con ellos, usando aire comprimido para limpiar bien de polvo, desmontando y aplicando pasta antitérmica y demás cuidados. El de 17 lleva un micro AMD que suelen calentarse bastante. Tal y como lo tengo es raro que suba más allá de 65, pero los he visto ponerse a 70 nada más comenzar a trabajar. Con la base Cooler Master las temperaturas máximas que vi ayer eran de 53, manteniéndose de media en los 40-42, que para ese AMD es un buen número. El de 15,4, un HP con i3 estuvo de media entre 33-34 grados. El pequeño no tiene ventilador, si no disipadores, se mantuvo 3n unos 50 grados, suele irse casi 20 grados más sin ventilación. Así que la base cumple en ese sentido. Por otro lado la calidad es buena, de aluminio, los ventiladores son fáciles de colocar donde más falta hacen, el ordenador se agarra perfectamente y no se mueve y encima no pierdes el usb. Es grande pero no aparatoso. Espero que dure, tengo otra base thermaltake que dejó de funcionar al año de tenerla. Ojo, una base no es la panacea, hace su trabajo muy bien, pero si tienes los disipadores llenos de pelusa y el micro con la pasta reseca va a ser difícil que notes una gran diferencia, si no es así sí que puedes notar más de 10 grados de temperatura, aparte de que discos y equipo en general se mantiene fresco, alargando su vida.

ノートPCの下部が非常に熱くなるため当機を購入。 早速使用してみると、熱くない！ もちろん平温よりは温度の上昇はみられるが、 熱いというレベルでは全くない！ これはすごい。 この機器のいい所はPCの一番熱くなる所めがけて Fanの場所を移動できるというとこ。 ３つのFanがピンポイントで風を吹き付けてくれます。 個人的には無駄なLEDなんかついて無いところもGood! 音は無音という訳にはいかないが 気になるほどの音は出ていない。 あと、Fanが本体組み込み式ではないので もしFanが故障してしまっても Fanだけ取り替えれるところも、良い。ただしこれは もし壊れたら、という話だけど。 ひとつ残念なポイントは、 デザインは薄くてシンプルでいいんだけど、 15インチ用にはややデカイ。 15インチノートPCだと周囲に2センチづつほどのはみ出しができてしまう。 本品は15-17インチ用となっているが 箱には19インチまでと書いてある。 こういう機器はPCと同じかやや小さいぐらいで用を足すので、 できれば同じ製品で15インチ以下用というのも作ってほしい所。 ただもう買ってしまったので、次買い替えの時に ラインナップされていることを願って。

Comprato una settimana fa, consegna (Da Amazon) veloce come sempre (In meno di 48h era già arrivato!). Devo dire di esserne molto soddisfatto e in questa settimana di utilizzo ho notato la differenza tra questo Cooler U3 della Cooler Master e di un prodotto precedente che aveva invece (Targato Microsoft se ricordo bene) solo 1 ventola fissa. Che dire, la differenza si nota eccome! Innanzitutto la base d'appoggio: e' molto spaziosa e stabile, ma la consiglierei solo per chi ha computer da almeno 15", infatti il mio Macbook Pro 15" ci sta comodamente sopra e gli sta anche un pò larga; immagino che con un computer da 13" potrebbe risultare scomoda, perchè la base d'appoggio è dotata di 3 parti in plastica morbida (2 ai lati superiori, una centrale sul lato inferiore) per tener fermo il computer ed evitare che scivoli fuori "dai bordi" della base di appoggio, quindi con un 13" penso che il computer tenderebbe a scivolare e non rimarrebbe fisso sulla postazione. Le ventole: il piatto forte del prodotto senza dubbio. Non solo è dotato di 3 ventole, ma tali ventole possono essere posizionate dove si vuole sotto la base di appoggio tramite un semplicissimo sistema ad incastro, roba da 10 secondi per posizionarle tutte e tre. Questo è un gran punto a favore: infatti a seconda di dove il computer scalda di più (Cosa che spesso varia da Pc a Pc), potrete comodamente spostare le ventole per raffreddare tali parti. La potenza delle ventole inoltre può essere regolabile, tramite il comodo comando che si trova collegato al filo che connette la base d'appoggio alla porta USB del vostro computer; il mio consiglio è di tenere sempre la potenza al max, infatti le ventole non fanno il minimo rumore (Anche se son 3!) e raffreddano al punto giusto. Rispetto alla base d'appoggio con 1 sola ventola che avevo prima, il Macbook scalda molto meno: e come ben sapete, meno calore c'è, migliori le prestazioni del computer. Infine da notare, che connettere la base d'appoggio al vostro pc tramite USB non vi "ruberà" una porta USB: infatti il connettore, ha attaccato a sua volta una porta USB extra. Ultima cosa, i materiali con cui è fatta la base d'appoggio sono okay (Non è la solita plasticaccia insomma) e danno un buon senso di stabilità, permettendo di poggia la base d'appoggio su ogni tipo di superficie (Che sia un tavolo, un letto, un divano, etc...). Inoltre, può pure funzionare da "porta-computer" come si vede chiaramente nelle immagini del prodotto (Dato che è inclusa nella confezione una cinghia per fissare il computer chiuso alla base). Perciò in poche parole un ottimo acquisto, ad un prezzo buono che consiglierei a chiunque ad occhi chiusi (Preso a 36,50 EUR).
