Massive23 ST Overview
The first thing I noticed when I took the Massive23 ST out of its retail box was how light it was. This has to be one of the lightest notebook coolers that I’ve seen. This is because most of the cooler is actually made of ABS plastic. The only metal part of the cooler is the mesh part where most of your laptop will be sitting.
At the center of course you have the HUGE 23cm LED fan that will cool your laptop. The mesh on the top of the cooler is in a honeycomb design. If we flip the Massive23 ST over we can see there is also a honeycomb design on the back of the fan as well.
On the backside of the Massive23 ST there is a power connection, indicator LED, and a Thermaltake logo. This is the only power connection, notice there are no USB ports on the Massive23 ST.
The notebook cooler is lifted off the ground by 2 legs on each side. This allows for air the easily flow under the cooler. The USB power cable has an on and off switch so you can turn off the fan when it is not needed.
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?
