Cooler Master MasterNotepal Maker Cooling Pad Review

Cooling/VGA & Other Cooling by stefan @ 2017-01-16

The MasterNotepal Maker cooling pad from Cooler Master offers quite a bit of flexibility regarding installation; the sandblasted aluminum surface helps with the head dissipation thanks to the large ventilation grill, while the fans underneath can be adjusted in the desired positions in order to match the intake vents from your laptop. The Maker version does include a base for adjusting the viewing angles, while the custom stoppers make sure that your laptop will never fall off. The cooling pad is also offered with a removable USB 3.0 & USB 2.0 hub, which can be used in two different modes.

On the fontal area of the hub, we do have a DC-5V port, a Micro USB 3.0 port that connects to our laptop via the supplied cable, one USB 3.0 port for having connected high-speed storage, but also two additional USB 2.0 ports for additional peripherals:

In the back of the hub we do have a Power out USB 2.0 port, along with a central plastic clip:
