This llano cooler is great, by far the best one I've used. I mostly use it on the lowest setting (300), ramping up the fans when I want to bring my System/CPU/GPU temps down, which I monitor with HWINFO and overlays.
I can really see the temperatures drop down and stay steady, which allows my laptop to perform at higher clock speeds for longer. My laptop fans themselves can spin up to >5k rpm but with the cooler on and loads running on the computer, I don't see them going above 2,500RPM. Another benefit I am finding or rather feeling, is that between the keyboard and touchpad area on my laptop are no longer burning hot to the touch.
The fan noise with my laptop on top does not bother me on the lower settings, it acts as white noise to me. The clamping system at the front to hook the laptop down is great too, I like that.
With higher fan speeds, of course there is more noise, but really I don't need to use this cooler past a third of its potential output to get temperature drops and performance gains with which I am happy about. Its nice that it has so much headway for more cooling performance.
The first product I received I noticed a ticking sound at low RPMs, which I didn't find mentioned in online reviews / video reviews. The performance was still fantastic but the noise was annoying. I spoke with support and they sent me a new one out, which I received today, and the noise is no longer, except the white noise of lower fan speeds(to me).
Overall super happy with the cooler and the support from llano.
