We have seen quite a few notebook coolers here at ThinkComputers and only a few have really impressed us. Thermaltake has sent us their new Massive23 ST notebook cooler which features a large 23cm blue LED fan in the center and a mesh design. Let’s see if this notebook cooler will impress us or will be like many of the notebook coolers we have looked at in the past…
Special thanks to Thermaltake for providing us with the Massive23 ST Notebook Cooler to review!

Packaging
The Massive23 ST comes in a retail box not much larger than the unit itself. On the front there is a picture of the Massive23 ST in action and on the back there is a list of features and specifications.
Opening up the box everything is nicely packed inside. Getting everything out we have the Massive23 ST notebook cooler, USB cable, and user’s guide.
I like the giant 23cm fan =D great way to have lots of airflow and remain relatively quiet. Also, I rather like the thermaltake Massive23 CS, all aluminum. The on/off switch is a plus, since i've used gone through a few coolers myself, where none of them had that, it's quite the bonus. The only thing now, is to test the lifespan of this baby ^.^. Most notebook cooler's i've used lasted less than a year :o. but im sure the thermaltake one will last much longer =D
Yeah I would probably prefer the aluminum too, but surprisingly the ST performs well even though its made mostly of plastic

A notebook cooler using a 230mm fan is pretty bad@$$.
Looks like a winner to me.

It must be the giant 23cm fan doing most of the work =P. I guess the aluminum is mainly for appeal, =)

That's a nice looking cooler, but for the average joe undervolting is the way to go!

undervolting decreases your speed, =(. This notebook cooler is relatively inexpensive, and i'd prefer a faster proc.

I don't know why you would want to undervolt this laptop cooler.

Not saying undervolt the cooler, he's saying he'd rather undervolt the proc than buy a cooler. Since this is a relatively inexpensive cooler i said i'd prefer the speed over the underclocked core
Power saving features do this for you automatically and using a laptop cooler is a bonus.

If anything, with this cooler, could prolly oc a little xD

And if you don't own a laptop you can use it to cool your room 🙂

lol, that'd be one prety expensive room fan =P. plus it won't oscillate. Maybe screw it on to, a computer side panel, lol or just remove that fan and attach it to your computer somehow

I would remove the fan.
My question is though, does it blow air up at the bottom of the computer or suck it down like some other fans?
