To everyone who complains about the plastic being cheap and "easily breakable", brother, your laptop wont work if you drop it too, doesnt mean its cheap plastic does it? If you treat everything right, itll definitely last you more than it would if you dont properly treat it lmao. Makes no sense to say its bad quality if youre going to be dropping it every chance you get
Right? Like, you place your laptop on a table, or in a secure, somewhat padded bag if traveling with it. A bath tissue is easily breakable but as long as you're not tossing it around and mangling it, it's completely fine. My $5 phone case is perfect since I'm not going around throwing and dropping that shit everywhere, where people spending $50+ on something that works if dropped from an airplane smh.
Im really impressed by the fact that they explicitly told you to not script the video and give your honest opinion. Loving the more long form content and see you in the next one
That's how you know a company is confident that their product not only does what it's advertised to do, but does it even better than they anticipated it would.
Yeah this is one of my pre-condition's for a long-form review, and it was awesome seeing llano open with that statement before I could even mention it! Massive respect for that.
@@SalemTechspertshey Ik this a little late but asus g14 that’s overheating constantly and Ik you mentioned in the video that the v10 is for smaller laptops but do you think I can use the v12 still
@@ronan7744 Kind of a silly assumption that everyone never moves their pc. I happen to split time between two cities, and it's a lot easier to have a cooler at each place and just carry the laptop back and forth than it is to keep 2 separate PC's completely synced up (especially games with mods and no steam cloud sync). Also one top-end laptop is cheaper than 2 top-end desktops.
@@dominusx5223 well both comments may seem dumb anyways depending on who's looking at it. If someone thinks in a way that you using a laptop which heats up extremely and requires "A BIGGER COOLER" when desktop exists ur comment is just dumb to them.
Honestly, your videos are so entertaining. I don't even have thw slightest interest in these things but i regularly watch your shorts and sometimes these longer vids. Keep up the good work!
They might be loud, but it ain't definetly louder than my laptop reaching 103°C with minecraft shaders and still working since with was born, with just a few revives.
Yes. Yes it is. I personally use this cooler (the V12) and although is has great performance, in the max setting its louder than an airplane taking off. Ain't no way your laptop has any chance to be louder than this unless it has a built-in airhorn
As someone who's looking to get his first gaming laptop, I've kinda found myself going down a few raccoon holes (see what I did there) to make the best informed devision I can, so finding videos and giveaways like these to protect my stuff is so awesome!!
It costs less than paying someone to do a repaste, which should be a huge selling point for people strapped on cash but wanting to protect their expensive investment.
I’m glad I stumbled upon your short on this, I had no idea they made a smaller cooler. I’m probably going to buy the V10 later today for my Zephyrus G14
I've got a non-RGB version that works great. Not as quiet as the latest version, but it keeps my Lenovo Legion from committing heat seppuku. Their customer service is great! My cooler snuck out of the factory without a foam ring. llano mailed me a foam ring and five additional dust catchers, no charge! Would recommend!
This is the perfect solution to the laptop thermal problems. I am studying mechanical engineering and my 2018 dell g7 is definitely twards the end of it's ropes thermaly that i started planning on 3d printing this exact solution an pairing it with a comically overpowered fan. "Turbo charging" it so to say. A lot of these laptops have more to give but they simply can't dump the heat fast enough due to their form factor. This is a really good design that solves that problem and im glad to see a company behave this way with their marketing standing behind their products.
@@davitdavid7165 rn I have it sitting on the power cable and my headphone's dongle with a fan running across it which drops the temps by almost 2 degrees under my normal load I'm really hyped to build the radiator to set on the keyboard because of how much heat it is currently dumping out the top. I think I can probably drop it a few more degrees simply by giving it more cooling area and thermal mass. It's quite the entertaining project.
If the computer is from 2018, it's almost certainly overdue for a repaste; while a comically-sized fan will help some, it's only gonna go so far if the thermal energy isn't getting transferred from the die to the heatsink.
A radical redesign of the "laptop" form factor is what the industry needs. Sure, bulking the physical size (internally and externally) HELPS, but not by enough. Desktops stay so much more reliable because they have the interchangeability of parts and better solutions for thermals, power, and I/O. The ROG Mothership is a great example of how portable PCs capable of mobile gaming can have a great and very functional design simultaneously.
easy to use and easy to fix products make manufacturers lose money so no, this isnt ever going to happen. Laptops and the people that buy them, even my own mom, are questionable to say the least.
@@KSword007 Framework is unique but my point still stands. If everyone did what framework does then youd realize its just 2013 again, yknow, when it was possible to fix your devices at home by yourself with replacement parts that were easy to find and usually cheap to get. Framework is in no way special as they just do what was the standard since 1998.
@@Sharpless2 Well mate, I brought my nearly 3 grand desktop PC with me over the border and nearly got it confiscated even with all the paperwork just because it looked ''more expensive'' and ''probably'' stolen, even tho it's not. As for the laptop, they never bothered me with it at the border because it was lowkey and normal, plus I didn't have to pay the driver for more luggage and was able to carry more clothes. I travel abroad every 6 months for work. It also sucks when you have to borrow a bloody TV just to play at 60Hz instead of 155Hz when I'm not traveling and am back home. I'll probably buy some cheap gaming laptop for this year's trip, and buy me a proper gaming laptop when I get there.
Finally some company has addressed the problem with old school laptop coolers which pointlessly blast air on the bottom cover, and it leaks sideways, I can already see that this concept of foam sealing it around will be a gamechanger
After this video, I bought the V12 version for my Gigabyte X17 XES and... (we're building suspense here) Man, it works. Of course, if you buy a gaming laptop with an i9 processor on board, you can also use it as a hair dryer (Lupe could use it for his debatably beautiful blonde hair), but with this nice pece of engineering the temperatures are really lower. Sadly there is no distribution in Poland, and switching off RGB is a bit anoying as you have to do it every time you switch on the cooling pad, but in the end in my opinion this is first device of that kind that realy works.
@@SalemTechspertsWelp my problem is in my Country after applying Taxes this Cooling pad costs 310 USD. That's literally almost 1/3 of my Laptop price. 😢
I have been looking at one of these for a while now, my laptop always runs pretty hot and my other cooling pad broke within a few months. This review was really helpful, and I can’t wait to get one of these for myself sometime in the future. As always your videos are a highlight of my day, your sarcasm is so on point every time! Keep on keeping on
Similar to Ilano is the IETS. I got the IETS GT500 and lowered laptop temps by 15-20C. I'm glad other laptop coolers are finally acknowledging this type of design, not like those cheap coolers that has an open fan underneath blowing even more dust into the laptop and not even air sealed nor does come with filter.
Yeah this type of sealed design is clearly the correct one, the only 2 coolers that actually work (llano and IETS) use a very similar one re: providing a foam seal and then forcing air into the laptop. The other ones are like blowing air onto a car bumper to cool the engine LOL
@@SalemTechsperts the other ones do suck ass, i had a shitpad l13 yoga with a broken fan and had to use one of those shitty coolers and an extra USB fan throwing air on top of the laptop, if the cost to ship one of these to where i live wasnt 100 dollars this would have been very helpful to me, i've got a pc now thankfuly, so no more cooling problems (now i only get fucked by asus)
@@SalemTechsperts after my Acer Nitro 5 keeps shooting up to 98C for gaming. I had to buy the IETS GT500 and a pad of PTM7950. The difference was night and day with temps from 98C/96C (CPU/GPU) now down to 87C/65C.
Thank you for recommending this in your shorts. Seriously. I bought one and got it yesterday and temp changes are night and day. Thank god for “The Greatest Technician That’s Ever Lived”!
My Gigabyte G5 died right after the warranty. I changed the thermal paste and kept it clean. I had a cooling pad, and I didn't take the laptop with me much. Not only that, but I put in 32 GB of RAM and 2 TB m.2… I did everything for this laptop. :(
FIANLLY BOUGHT THE LLANO V12! It was a beast of cooling my Dell Latitude E5420 that has a degraded Motherboard Fan Socket so no amount of repair could fix it. When I power it on without the Llano V12, after 10 seconds the laptop gets toasty and immediately shuts down and I have to wait for 1 hour to be able to use it again. With the Llano V12, not only does it stayed bellow 100°C, it also allows me to use my laptop for hours without overheating the internal components and my relatively cool ego! Nice work!
As a matter of fact this video came in at a perfect time cause I recently wanted to play some of the newer games on my Asus ROG laptop and I was literally unable to use the laptop's keyboard due to it getting so hot.
The ROG specifically benefits more from these types of coolers due to the amount of open vents in the bottom. We had one in the shop I was going to show but it was already fried lol
I’ve been using a air large purifier for two years as a table/cooler (put the exit vent right on the intake) works well but getto lol. Glad to see a real laptop cooler finally!
I’m thinking about getting a gaming laptop soon and having such a cooler SPECIALLY recommend by the greatest technician that’s ever lived would be a HUGE treat!
I was looking for a cooler for a new gaming laptop, your videos have been very helpful in helping me understand how to mantain a laptop or any electronic device, I wish you the best for your carreer.
I've actually been considering getting a laptop cooling pad for my ASUS ROG gaming laptop, so this was a wonderful review for me to run in to! I love that the company said to be transparent that they were sponsoring you, they didn't give you a script, and told you to be honest! I have a ton of respect for that. I think I'll grab one while it's on sale for Prime Day!
Gaming laptops have always had issues with heat, having a cooler is honestly a must these days and sadly most are cheap crap that doesn't do much, some may even damage your machine thanks to the fans blowing the wrong way (I've seen it, dont ask htf they sold it that way) this at least seems to have some actual thought into its design, the added foam seel seems like an interesting addition, and those extra adjustments on the feet look good for the taller user like myself lol, a big issue I have with laptops other than the lack of upgrading options, is the beck pain I get from them, so even a couple of extra inches is a bonus for me. Thanks for the review, I like channels who seem to do honest opinions, not just gimmicky bs.
I would love to see more product reviews! Your practical, facts based approach, with the added humor, is a winner in my book. Plus more Salem techsperts is always a win for me
I'd really love one for my 2021 G14. As an ex computer tech myself, I understand how important it is to keep things cool. With a kid and all, I doubt I'll ever get the budget to buy the V10. But super cool customer support!
I bought the V12 using your discount code. I use the cooler at work to keep my Dell Precision 7780 nice and cool with the fan set at 300. It's been great.
Literally a steal for what it does. Especially the way you are able to customise the speeds and also the ports who can be useful if you have no ports on your laptop. RGB is a nice touch too.
I have a dell g7 7700 that I plan on pitting this against in the near future. This looks really promising. Thanks for the long form review and benchmark. Love the videos!
just bought my first gaming PC and want this thing to last, when i first seen your you tube short on this cooler i knew immediately i wanted one, just because i can trust your opinion on these recommendations.
Omg! Thats my laptop he used. I'm definitely going to have to look into this cooler since it works. I used to game on it everyday until it started over heating too much.
I would absolutely love this cooler for my Asus laptop A.K.A. my Heat Bomb. Unfortunate that I cannot get it in South Africa yet. Hopefully it arrives in my country soon.
I bought one of these based off of the short you did months ago. I was blown away (pun intended) by how well it worked. I wanted to see just how far it could go, so I OC'd my laptop as far as it could go, and played a game on max graphics settings. With the Ilano at max speed, the laptop was blowing cool air out the sides, instead of the flesh-cooking steam it normally does. Well worth the money! The only problem I have is on max speed the Ilano is pretty loud, but as long as I'm not pushing my laptop to the absolute limit, the Ilano never really needs to be that fast
I’d love to try one of these out, they’ve piqued my interest lately with different people speaking highly of them. I hope to be one of those people soon!
Really glad you made this video. We have two gaming HP laptops (one just purchased a week ago), and I’ve been concerned about the heat they generate. My Envy gets super hot above the top row of keys, under the screen. At this point, we have several thousand dollars invested, so this is a huge concern during extensive gaming sessions together. Thanks again for a great review!!👍🏻
they do seem useful, as many older laptops do also suffer form overheating as its having to work harder to keep up to the everchanging demands on modern applications and software.
I am impressed how, even when a company sponsors this video, I can hear a honest review of this product. It's awsome when you do see how good the product really is, thank you for this review!
As someone whom purchased the Llano Cooler msyself before this Video came out before summer hit here in Colorado, I recommend this thing 100% for anyone with a gaming laptop. I overclock my stuff for the most bang for buck and having cooling is essential. I got the cooler and Usually have it around 1500 to 2000 RPM since my house is an oven even with the ACs going. And the temps stay around 50 under Load and CPU depending on which game can boost to 4.2Ghz with its temps being 85-90 which before the CPU would spike to 95 degrees before climbing to 100. So I would recommend this Cooler to anyone whom is DOubtful about the product as 100 dollars is worthwhile for an investment going for 3k. And for the Giggles I usually if I am rendering or Mining when I am not using my Laptop. I max out the fan speed on the Llano cooler and my temps wont go over 60. So all in all 100% recommend to anyone who needs or is looking into a Laptop Cooler.
Great video, and to see a brand that doesn't limit or censor theirs reviewers. llano my laptop is getting real hot in Rio de Janeiro temperatures. (Even in winter!)
Since I'm not in the US (French so no discount for me), I decided to buy one myself. I first made sure first to clean my PC from the inside and repaste everything before reusing it. It's my first time using a laptop cooler and I chose the White, Non-RGB version so llano, if you're here, here's my feeling about it: I like how user-friendly the laptop cooler is. One button, a wheel for RPM and ports on the right. That's all it is required and if I have any doubt, The user manual is very simple to understand. Only question I have is why the same steps is written twice with the same language? I also like how good the change in temperatures are now! Before, I could play my games and feel my laptop being hot enough to cook an egg. Now, it's not freezing but it's way less hot. CPU doesn't overheat when checking with AIDA64 and I can feel it by touching my laptop. Doesn't go past 50°C. Lastly, I appreciate how the laptop cooler possess ports, with 3 A-Type port and one C-Type port. I can charge my phone and uses the other ports for other stuffs. Pretty neat! Ah, and you get a mouse pad with it, which was coincidentally what I needed soo... Thanks llano! Now I had some issues, one being the price and unless it's a bug, seeing the difference between the white version (Non-RGB, the one I bought, 100€) and the Black one (Possibly RBG, Black, 400€) was confusing and worrying. But eh. Other issue, that doesn't really bother me but comments did complain about, is how it technically turn your laptop into a desktop since the laptop cooler requires a charger that needs to be plugged. Like I said, I don't care because this con doesn't overwhelm the pros. Last being the noises but it's not actually as bad as I thought. It doesn't reach my sibling's room and as for me, nothing a good headphone can't cover. That's all for my short review, thanks llano, Thanks The Greatest Technician That Ever Lived for showcasing this laptop cooler and have a good reading everyone ^^
I’ve got the ASUS g16 2024. Gets HOT when gaming and pretty warm on normal surfing and watching RU-vid. Saw the short you made on the llano cooler. Purchased one and WOW what a difference!! Noise doesn’t bother me. I run the cooler at 1700 when gaming. Only thing I had to do was trim the foam a bit on top so that the exit ducts would not be blocked. Works great. On casual surfing the gpu is at 28-33c. Gaming it’s at 55-66c. It definitely works.
I've had a few laptop coolers that didn't really work, currently have my Asus gaming laptop on a wire mesh stand with two 120mm fans blowing on it from directly underneath. Definitely gonna check these new coolers out!
I used the same concept to make a sealed chamber for my gaming laptop on my cooler pad. The temps on my MSI Vector GP66HX dropped into the mid 70s when gaming on both CPU and GPU. My next plan for the cooler is better fans.
This is something I'm looing to get for my wifes aging Zephyrus G14. The foam sealer and radial fans are a great idea as they produce much greater static pressure. I think the next gen will be quieter as they learn to optimize their fan for acoustics.
I absolutely would love one of the smaller ones for my current laptop. It isn't for gaming by any means, but it tends to get a bit toasty when the sun cranks up to a kbgkjbkillion degrees outside.
I'm using one of these on a super heat generating laptop (i9-14900HX & Nvidia 4090 GPU) and just sitting at idle (watching video's or browsing forums) this cooler at 300 RPM where I can barely hear it drops the CPU from 56c to 48c and the GPU from 45c to 37c. The GPU fan completely shuts off also. When stressing it with a game like Last Epoch driving an external 3440x1440 monitor at 120fps is doesn't have as much effect (percentage wise) but at 900RPM it still drops the temps by 8~10c, which pulls the CPU temps down to the 80c range instead of bumping over 90c. At that point the laptop fans are also running at full speed of course. Overall I'm happy with the cooler, which I actually purchased before seeing this video. Good review though and my experience with it agrees with your results.
