Jetart NP6600 Notebook Cooler Review Print E-mail
Written by Laptop News

The NP6600 is part of the 6000 series, the latest release from Jetart. Of the previous series (NP3000, 4000, and 5000), we reviewed the NP5000 and were impressed with its cooling ability. The concept behind the 6000 line is portability: every cooler folds in half. The 6600 falls somewhere in the middle of the series. The lower end 6000 is the base model. Our sample has adjustable fan speeds. The 6800 also has a USB2.0 hub. Lastly, the 6900 adds a card reader. It's worthwhile to note that the last two models are rated at 10watts (pretty high by notebook standards) while the 6000 and 6600 consume only 1watt. This is probably due to the USB hub.

The difference is apparent. Between using no fans and running the fans at full speed, there's a temperature drop of over 10C on both idle and load. Even more important are the temperatures at low speed. The difference between low and high speed is only around 3C on idle and slightly over 1C load. However, at low speed the fans are barely audible, while at high speed they can get annoying after a while if you don't use headphones.

Keep in mind these aren't processor temperatures though, but rather how hot the bottom of the laptop gets at its most critical point. The actual temperature drop of the processor and other components within (memory, hard drive, etc) is undoubtedly less, but then again there's not a single notebook cooler that will cause huge temperature drops of internal parts. Unless of course the bottom of your laptop is a giant heatsink - I've yet to see one.
