The Razer Laptop Cooling Pad is a tool designed to keep gaming laptops cool, improving performance and extending component life. Priced at $150, it supports laptops of any size and can lower CPU and GPU temperatures by up to 18%. Notably, when connected to specific Razer models, a feature called Hyperboost enhances performance at 1080p. However, it is quite loud at high speeds and requires external power and Razer Synapse software for full functionality. While it shows promise, its drawbacks may deter some users looking for quiet or compact solutions.
With some Razer gaming laptops, it can go even further. When the cooling pad is connected via USB to a 2023 or 2024 Razer Blade 16, a feature called Hyperboost automatically adjusts fan speed and cooling mode.
The Good: Fits any size laptop, built-in USB-A hub, markedly cools your laptop while gaming, programmable RGB lighting, Hyperboost noticeably improves performance at 1080p.
I did notice a significant improvement in 1080p performance in games that were previously held back by a lack of power to the CPU.
Let's address the elephant in the room first: Razer's cooling pad gets loud. With the 140mm fan spinning at the highest setting, it is incredibly loud, which can be a distraction.
