Stay cool during the most intense gaming sessions with the Razer Laptop Cooling Pad. The latest smart cooling solution for laptops from 14” to 18”. Featuring intelligent fan control, a hermetically sealed pressure chamber, and three magnetic frames to support a wide range of laptops, this cooling pad is the ideal companion for users looking to maximize performance and optimize thermal management. With smart cooling enabled, the Razer Laptop Cooling Pad automatically adjusts the fan speed based on the temperature of the main components, achieving an optimal balance between noise and performance with minimal effort. To achieve this performance, the high-speed 140 mm fan circulates cool air trapped within the hermetically sealed enclosures throughout the system. In some cases, the high-speed air can reduce CPU and GPU temperatures by up to 18%. Designed for broad compatibility, the custom memory foam frames ensure a perfect fit for Windows and fanless laptops ranging from 14” to 18”.

The cooling pad also includes a mappable multifunction button to control fan speed and Razer Chroma™ RGB lighting that adorns the front of the stand. Through Razer Synapse, users can access preset or customized fan curves for automated cooling efficiency. To ensure long-term use, a dust filter is included that reduces the amount of foreign contaminants introduced when the fan cools systems over time.
