Product Description
Magnetic Suction Design for Easy Loading and Unloading
To use the cooling system, stick the included round iron sheet on the back of the Steam Deck. Once the device heats up, simply turn on the cooler and attach it to the warm area of the Steam Deck. This enables rapid cooling, restoring an optimal gaming experience.
Stylish Design
The cooler’s design complements the black finish of the Steam Deck and features a line aesthetic reminiscent of Transformers. Its size is carefully crafted to prevent obstruction of game ports, making it perfect for use with the Steam Deck!
Advanced Cooling Technology
Featuring a Peltier cooling element with a heat sink, this cooler effectively draws heat away from your Steam Deck, utilizing a strong yet quiet 9-blade fan to maximize airflow while minimizing noise.
USB Type-C Power Connection
Included is a 1.5m USB to USB Type-C cable, which allows for quick recharging of the cooler when the power is low.
[Rapid cooling] During intense gaming sessions, the Steam Deck/Switch can heat up quickly, potentially causing crashes or lags. This cooler uses semiconductor technology and a quiet 9-blade fan to provide fast cooling. Thus, you’ll notice an improvement in performance as your device cools.
[Magnet Design] Integrated magnets allow the cooler to easily attach to the back of the Steam Deck/Switch, providing timely cooling whenever necessary. They can also be removed when not in use.
[RGB Lighting] The fan features multiple RGB lighting effects that add a modern, stylish look to the cooler.
[Quiet Operation] Special semiconductor design reduces noise, enhancing your gaming experience and making it more enjoyable to use the Steam Deck in tabletop mode.
[Fast Charging] The built-in charging cable ensures that you can quickly power the cooler, allowing gaming without the hassle of a charging cable while maintaining cooling efficiency.

Noticeable difference
It definitely makes a difference and the built in battery adds mobility, I’ve used better ones but this is the best battery one I’ve used the corded have more power but no mobility so if you going for mobility it’s the way to go

you get what you pay for.
I’m a bit confused. It’s magnetic, the back plate i have is the jsaux plate with a metal heatseak and a silicon pad to help dissipate heat. I’m just wondering why it’s not magnetizing to the replacement shell. Still requires the heat transfer magnet to be applied to it but in theory it works. I’m going to test it at work and if it works then i expect my review not to change much. It functions, it’s quiet, the Chinese manual has some funny engrish but not exactly that helpful. Pretty simple installation, the glue in the magnetic pad seems to be pretty forgiving if you don’t properly seat it on your case but id highly recommend you get a jsaux backshell as that has an external heat transfer plate and you will get the best bang for your buck

Thermoelectric cooler w/an internal rechargeable battery for use on-the-go
Thermoelectric coolers are interesting to me because in a small space, they can apply a noticeable cooling effect. However, they typically are not very energy efficient, plus in a portable application, they are even less efficient because the metal plate that cools will rest against some sort of insulating material, whether glass, plastic, or occasionally metal.This YIGORN cooler is similar in design to others I’ve used, with magnetic attachment, a fan, and RGB lighting. What is different though, is that it has an internal rechargeable battery.On a full charge, it was able to function for over an hour, and I measured a 25 degree temperature drop on the actual cooler’s plate using my IR thermometer.Again, depending on what you are attaching it to, you will likely only benefit from a fraction of that.Now, this is advertised for the Steam Deck so first off, it will not attach without using the included metal ring that is applied via adhesive. Even when it is applied, the plastic outer casing of the Steam Deck will insulate the internals from much of the cooling effect. When I had it attached, if I quickly removed it I could measure about a 15 degree drop in the case temperature where it was attached (the recommended area above the intake vents). I could not tell if it made an appreciable difference in my games.Even so, this is a handy item to have around, due to the internal rechargeable battery. It’ll largely depend on your use case whether it is worth it for you.

Great for cooling more than the Deck
While this thing is marketed for the Steam Deck, unless you mod your deck with a new aftermarket back (with a metal plate) this wonât really do too much for the Steam Deck in a stock configuration due to the plastic back.However, for other devices (like my daughterâs iPad when she plays a game for an hour+) it can really help since you can apply it directly to the metal back (well with the metal plate to hold).At first I was skeptical with these types of coolors, but just turn it on and you can feel the difference in temperature on the cold plate with your finger. I also tried this on the outside of a metal, passive Raspberry Pi case (a Cooler Master) and it seemed to help.Also, unlike a lot of others, this one comes with a battery to cool on the go. However, doesnât last all that long so you will end up plugging it in for any longer use. The rgb is kinda cool but does use some battery.Overall, if you are looking for a cooler for something other than the stock deck, I think you should give this a try.

Novel concept, but kind of just an illusion…
This is not a terrible concept – its an external heatsink and fan designed to cool the Steam Deck. It has a magnetic pad to allow the bulky fan to be removed / attached when needed. It has some cool colors. Other than that, it’s not functionally very useful.First: the Steam Deck rarely has overheating issues, in my experience with it. I’ve never had a game slow down, et cetera, because the system was too hot. The system itself does get warm, but not in a way that is unbearable or damaging. As such, adding an external fan isn’t a huge requirement, at least for anything I run on the Deck (from AAA games, to indie titles, to building the linux kernel…)Second: This heatsink is far too insulated from anything for it to make a real difference. The metal backplate is cool to the touch, but it is then connected via a magnetic pad and adhesive to the plastic back of the deck. The plastic of the deck is then isolated (by air!) from the actual processor of the deck. As such, the actual ability for the heatsink to reduce the temperature of the system is almost entirely negligible. In the absolute best case, it will reduce it by a degree or two, but it just simply won’t make a noticeable difference compared to the effort undertaken to strap this thing on to the Steam Deck, keep it charged, etc.When I used the product, I didn’t notice any functional difference in gameplay + in temperature readings.With all of that said: the actual heatsink and fan is not terribly unuseful for cooling other things. You can strap it onto an M.2 drive (if you’re clever) or Raspberry Pi, connecting it by a thermal link – i.e. through metal, and it works nicely to cool it. So, points there.

Best of its kind.
Third product I’ve tried of this nature and is by far the best. The biggest benefit would have to be the fact that it has its own battery so you don’t have to plug it in while in use! (It’s stronger if you do though.) This thing gets Very cold! On average this kept my devices about 7-10° cooler.

Great add on cooling for your sd
This simply does the trick for me. You definitely gain additional cooling for those long session of triple A gaming which never hurts. The installation process is easy and the plate sticks nicely onto it. Iâm able to also use cases with the plate on (without the fan of course) with no issues. The case have to be removed unfortunately in order to use the cooling feature
