havit HV-F2056 15.6″-17″ Laptop Cooler Cooling Pad – Slim Portable USB Powered

My gaming laptop was getting insanely hot while gaming. I was dubious that this would be much help and was close to splurging a more expensive cooling pad but this item would be delivered faster so i took a chance. When i got the cooling pad, the fan was so quiet i thought there was no way it would work. It worked immediately! Not only is it so quiet we’ve forgotten it was on before, but the laptop in general is quieter because the laptop fans don’t sound like jet engines. The on/off switch is great and i love that it gives you usb ports!

Based on the placement of my laptop’s vents, i actually flipped the cooling pad so that the 2 fans were in the back and this does work way better for my laptop than having the 2 fans in the front. It’s also nice to have the usb and off switch at the front this way. This does mean that i can’t use the kickstands to prop it up, but that’s not a huge deal for me.

I think this may have saved my laptop’s life as it may have started melting without it!

Great quality and comes with three decent sized fans that.

It takes one usb port to power it but also includes a usb port to make up for the one being used.

Fans are quiet and reduce around 10-15 degrees celcius overall temp of the laptop and around the same for the nvidia gtx 1650 graphics card. Which completely removes the stutter i get while playing battlefield 4 on high settings and the video card getting really hot.

The fans are extremely quiet, has blue led lights (not customizable) and also comes with two tabs in the back to raise it which also helps in pulling it air.

The cooling pad itself is thin enough that you won’t notice an increase in height especially since i also use a laptop plastic pad.

Definitely a recommended item if your laptop is getting too hot.

The keys on my laptop used to also get hot because of the graphics card and now they just get warm (it’s also 100 degrees here at the moment so the ambient air temp inside the house is a little higher).

I bought two of these for each of my laptops and they are extremely quiet but are extremely effective in keeping my laptops cool during operation. I’ve had them several months and haven’t had any problems with normal use. I read some of the reviews before i purchased and was leery with some of the bad points but purchased one and was satisfied with it especially for the price and purchased the second one. I am satisfied with them.

This is super quiet and helps keep my laptop cool. I was so happy with this, i bought another for my son. My only gripe is that the switch is in the back. On my desk that can be tricky.

My laptop was over heating and shutting itself down and once i hooked up this fan the problem went away. Fan is quiet and fits beneath laptop well. Highly recommend

I use it whenever im on my laptop and it keeps my laptop nice and cool and i can barely hear the fan which is better

This cooler creates a good air flow under your laptop, and really helps to keep the temperature down. The result is that your battery life gets extended. I have been using it for a year; it is a great investment. Really like the glow of the blue leds to let you know it is doing its job 🙂 !

I use this under my msi laptop and it has worked great so far while gaming. I haven’t had any issues with overheating and it is pretty quiet overall.

Began to suspect overheating was causing laptop to crash and occasionally corrupt files as a result. Didn’t want a crash to cause a big problem. Did ram check, no issue. Stumped. Crashed multiple times per day and then would be stable for hours.

Internal fan would come on and run on full. Read that high cpu utilization can trigger fan and then crashes if overheating continues.

Adjusted max cpu utilization to 80%. Crashed much less, like once a week, but could feel the slowness. Began inching up 5% at a time. Crashed started increasing immediately. Bought this and confirmed laptop remained stable at 80% then cranked up to 100%: hasn’t crashed once. Miracle.

Since it has a usb port, when you consume a usb port on your laptop that was used by something else, you can plug that device into the cooling fan’s port instead and be fine. That’s what i did with the mouse’s bluetooth transmitter/receiver.

My msi p65 creator runs hot. I have smooth skin on one wrist from long term exposure to it and needed a solution. I’ve been using this for about 3 weeks now and have seen a noticeable difference.

Temperature: good enough – under worst-case scenarios, the laptop now runs warm instead of unbearably hot and can be used comfortably without needing to hover my wrists.

Noise: good enough – it’s not silent, but it’s pretty quiet. You can hear it, but it’s a consistent noise and easy to forget about.

Lights: not a problem. I was a little worried about some of the comments saying the led lighting can’t be turned off. That said, when the laptop (17 inches) is on the pad, you cannot see the lights at all.

Traction: good. Doesn’t slide under the pressure from my hands and the laptop doesn’t slide on top of it.

Height: okay. I use it in the flat position. I was worried that having the laptop elevated would be uncomfortable, but it hasn’t posed an issue so far. I haven’t tested the tilted position and do not plan to.

Nits: fans only have one speed. Uses usb from laptop to power it, not a problem because it give you another usb port in the back of the fan, but i’d rather have it plug in to the wall or run on batteries.

I have three of these coolers and i like them but as with everything there is always room for improvement, like my laptop sliding off the cooling surface. I use gaming computers, have four different models all sitting on a cooler but for some reason one of my havit hv-f2056 began acting up about a month after i got it and eventually no-longer fires up. I so purchased another brand and will try that.
Overall, it’s a nice clean setup, quiet and has an on-off switch. The surface is slippery so beware. The fans have blue led’s but with the computer on top you can’t see the lights. Would i buy these again, possibly but will make that judgement down the road.

I was having issues with my macbook pro when in video conference calls, it would get very hot, the cpu usage would go over 90%, and the video starts to chop, but after using this pad the cpu usage remains less than 20% and i haven’t noticed any issues.
It is definitely not as quiet as some comments suggest though, i could definitely hear the fans working and i’d say it is even a bit loud.

This is a very practical way to protect and prolong the life of one’s laptop.

These matts are all designed for one thing, to increase the movement of cool air into your expensive gaming laptop. Although i suppose there are other sorts of devices that make a lot of heat that could benefit from this toy, they were conceived to keep very hot running laptop computers cooler. There just isn’t a lot of space inside today’s sexy compact laptops for airflow and when it’s a gaming laptop with a high performance graphic chip onboard there’s just plain going to be a lot of heat to dispel outward. This item is typical of devices like it, several fans with a platform and some way to power it. Like all the other products of the type that i’ve owned it does not come with an ac adapter it comes with 2 usb ports and a rather short double ended type a usb cable. This unit has an on/off switch, some i’ve owned don’t have a switch you just unplug it to turn it off. Usb is always 5 volts so if you have an old unused usb phone charger with an a port on it then it’s perfectly fine to plug this mat into that ac adapter to power it but the main idea is that you plug it into the laptop or a self powered usb hub to power it. Most laptops these days come with one or two usb a and then on really new machines a usb c plug. To keep a cable tangle from developing, i just plug everything into a hub, usb c has the advantage of being able to supply power way over 5 volts so if you’ve got a 7 plug hub that’s full that one usb c port can power everything easily including the matt and also handle data flow. If you’ve got a power strip with usb ports that’s another option to power it. I’ve never paid more than 30 bucks for one of these, but for this price point this product seems pretty good so far, when you turn it on you can feel quite a lot of air movement and the unit is made of plastic and metal and has folding feet on the back edge of it. They come in different sizes looks like this one could handle a 17′ laptop if you have one of those beasts. I’ve noticed that hubless fans are back out in the computer stores. That type of fan of course will last much longer than a bearing fan but they’re also a lot more expensive, these items are just one of those use it till the bearing noise from the fan drives you mad then throw it away and get another one items.

Got this a few weeks ago.
It works great as a way to cool down my laptop, i’ve seen significant improvements on temperature.

My only issue, and why i give it 4 stars, is that my laptop doesn’t stay on the pad properly and slides all over the place. I think a simple solution would be a little ‘ledge’ or lip on the bottom so that a laptop can get stopped by it and not continue to slide. I might implement this myself.

I like this product, it is quiet and cools things down. The reason i’m giving it 4 stars is because the holes on the vents are a bit big and you could easily stick your fingers in and get hurt on the fan.

Love the product … It works.

But i’d have gladly paid a little more for one that cools even better.

Like the cooling pad. When i heard it was quite and kept the laptop cool, i did have some concern, but upon setting it up it does the trick. I gave it 4 stars for gaming, only because i do not use my laptop for gaming. I use it for high-speed stock trading, it has been able to lower the laptop by 10+ degrees.

Good

So this fan can be used for gaming but for some gaming laptops it can interrupt the airflow of the laptop causes it to not cool but for like work laptops and laptops the don’t have big cooler and the bottom i would hundred percent recommend.
