The “S” in NZXT’s Cryo S must stand for Super effective at heat removal. Compatible with laptops up to 15 inches, it removes heat from the fan vents, as well as the entire notebook case.

Intel has developed a system to cool laptops that’s not so different from that used on the surface of jet engines. The technology utilises a laminar (non-turbulent) airflow to push heat away from the bottom of the case, making your laptop suitable for your lap again.
