Works well! My laptop is a few degrees cooler and the fans don't ramp up all the time. The noise from the fan is the only real issue I have with it. I was expecting a small amount of air noise due to the large fan, however, what I got was a noise from the fan bearing that gets louder depending on fan speed. I just run the fan on the lowest fan setting unless gaming and it resolves the noise issue. Overall still very happy with this cooler
