I know it has great sounds, but how efficient is it at cooling? I have read the reviews over and over about how great it makes the sound and about how it cools, but nobody really goes into depth about how well and efficient it cools. Does it drop the temperature by a significant amount? If anybody knows thanks is advance. Lets say I wanted to buy this product for its cooling capabilities primarily and sound as a secondary thing. Is it worth it? I know it has great sounds, but how efficient is it at cooling?

This lapdesk cools FAR better than my old Logitech N200 cooling pad which only has a fan, no speakers. I have an older MSI gaming laptop that gets VERY hot without a fan, and the N700 does a SUPERB job at keeping this laptop cool. I bought it for the speakers which are an extreme improvement over the internal laptop speakers, but I am incredibly pleased at how it keeps this prone-to-overheating laptop cool.

its ultimately only a fan, so it moves air and makes it feel cooler, it does not truly cool the air. If you don't mind a little noise, it can be very good at 3 blades and high speed. at slower speeds, it still does a good job of blowing air and providing a nice breeze. hope that helps.

I think "how bad" is completely subjective. I personally don't think these have a drone, but I'm far from an expert. But they are loud. If you don't want loud pipes, this is not the kit for you. I'm used to them now after 6 months on the car, but most of the people who ride with me for the first time always say "holy ____ your car is loud". It is and that is exactly what I was looking for. It's a beautiful muscle car sound, and if that is what you are after, you will not be disappointed. I think there may be some videos on YouTube for this exact muffler to give you some idea of how it sounds. I think "how bad" is completely subjective.

The fan is actually better than some people say - the default cooling profile never pushes the fan hard. If you download evga's wonderful "Precision X" utility, you can set up your own fan profile. I was easily able to get my card to run at least 10 degrees cooler than it did with default settings, and that includes overclocking the bad boy as much as I can. Be warned, though - blower-style coolers are good but they are also noisy. The reason the default fan profile is pretty tame is to keep noise down. With my custom profile, you will definitely hear the fan when it spins up. I don't mind myself as I never notice it over the sounds of my game.

It's a really nice, clean-sounding amp. It works best with efficient speakers and when hooked up to a computer to take advantage of the built-in DAC (Digital to Analog converter). As others have pointed out it's a little under-powered but fine for a smaller room (e.g. bedroom). It also has a really good headphone amp.

To elaborate on my previous post, and to answer the question, it sounds fine at low volume if you're looking for clean sounds. I needed a louder amp which is why I chose this model. Best thing to do is find one locally and take it for a test drive.

I am currently using the stock fan. At stock speeds my computer stays pretty cool, 15-20 C. When playing online games however, they go up to 40-45 which I guess isn't too bad. With higher settings on games/programs the fan then turns into something like a Bulldozer running over C4, extremely loud but does a pretty "Ok" job at keeping the CPU cool if it isn't put under anything over regular use stress. I would highly recommend getting a better fan if you have the money, but if not, you should be fine until you manage to get your hands on one.

Check out Consumer Reports. They also said this is a great rerigerator except for the noise. The noise kept it from being the number one pick. BTW, we just got our new Samsung french door counter depth rerigerator. It is "Whisper" quiet. You have to actually listen to tell if it is running.

well, ventilation is always key for an amplifier.So far, and this is after a week, I have not noticed excessive heat.However, I have my main speakers running off a separate power amp via the 773's pre-amp outputs.Both my power amp and the 773 do feel "Warm," but I wouldn't call it excessive.I do have them in an open TV stand with no glass doors and large cutouts in the back.About one inch of space above the top of the unit773 has two USB ports on it, so if I notice excessive heat I plan on purchasing small USB powered vent fans like the ones from "Coolerguys."But, so far I have not noticed what I consider "excessive" heat." well, ventilation is always key for an amplifier.So far, and this is after a week, I have not noticed excessive heat.However, I have my main speakers running off a separate power amp via the 773's pre-amp outputs.Both my power amp and the 773 do feel "Warm," but I wouldn't call it excessive.I do have them in an open TV stand with no glass doors and large cutouts in the back.About one inch of space above the top of the unit773 has two USB ports on it, so if I notice excessive heat I plan on purchasing small USB powered vent fans like the ones... » Read More well, ventilation is always key for an amplifier.So far, and this is after a week, I have not noticed excessive heat.However, I have my main speakers running off a separate power amp via the 773's pre-amp outputs.Both my power amp and the 773 do feel "Warm," but I wouldn't call it excessive.I do have them in an open TV stand with no glass doors and large cutouts in the back.About one inch of space above the top of the unit773 has two USB ports on it, so if I notice excessive heat I plan on purchasing small USB powered vent fans like the ones from "Coolerguys."But, so far I have not noticed what I consider "excessive" heat." « Show Less

Thanks for shopping this item. Here are several comments on this product: The cooler is made to keep your drinks chilled well over 12 hours. Another user says: I'm not sure but I used it starting at 5pm on a very warm evening and there was still some ice in it the next morning. It kept the drinks really cool and everyone loved it and wanted one! :) Another user says: If you keep it open as pictured every couple hours you will need to add ice (drain out some water) if it is closed it lasted a lot longer....Hope this helps with your decision making....OOME

I think it is very quiet for how cold this unit gets. It gets more quiet when its on it's Econ Mode. I think all window air conditioners will have some level of noise but in my opinion this is one of the quietest ones I have ever owned. And once you stop listening to judge the level of noise it becomes bearly noticeable at all. This is a great quiet unit in my opinion.

Bro I'll be 100% honest it's a good amp but it's for sure not pushin 3000 amps. It hits hard but it has it's limit and will shut off if pushed too hard...one you have it set and equalized right it's a solid amp I have 2 bridged subs on it and it works perfect. Out of the 4 mths I've had it, it's only overheated once and shut off maybe 3 times because I turned it past it's limit lol but overall it's pretty good man iwould suggest it for a good sound for sure!

It blow hot air out away from the box. I saw no difference in temps however, and it was loud when new and even louder when it went bad. No matter what, dust will get stuck on it, and it will get progressively louder. I do not recommend it. I suggest some vented PCI slots if you want some additional cooling in that price point.

I noticed a slight loss in fidelity compared to using a direct line. I simply adjusted the EQ in the vehicle to compensate. I'm pleased with the overall sound, more so to not have a cord hanging in the vehicle.As to leaving it plugged into a vehicle, this is not recommended by the manufacturer. It is not meant to be left in a hot or cold vehicle (see operating temperatures) while not in use.The cap has an integral loop for a key ring, so take it with you! This might reduce the possibly of theft too.Sadly, mine went through the laundry and no longer works. I will order another!Hope this helps!

I'm happy with the acoustics, I use in a medium to small room, the high sounds are nice! My high is at level 10, too high going up. Maybe what you are looking for. Best wishes & enjoy!

Sort of hard to say - since it's subjective. I keep mine outside my bedroom door - on the first speed - and it doesn't bother me at all. Sort of just a low fan sound - about the same as the heat kicking on and off. I don't notice it at all. However, all of the other speeds, in my opinion, are very loud. It goes up to 5 - and that sounds like a 747 idling. I guess if you had it in some remote location and wanted to crank it up, the higher speeds would work. I live in a 1200 sq ft townhome and, set at 45, it keep the upstairs (where it is) at about 45% and the downstairs at about 35%. Perfect for me. I'm really happy with it. No more shocking all the pets with static electricity! Sort of hard to say - since it's subjective. I keep mine outside my bedroom door - on the first speed - and it doesn't bother me at all.
