On paper this was, and still is a good idea, we just feel it needs a little bit of work to be something that would fly off of the shelves. Over time we have come to expect lackluster performance with most coolers like this; in Auto mode, things are leaned to silence over cooling, and if you are gaming with a notebook like ours, Auto mode will do you little good other than offering a variable angle stand for the notebook. We took things up with Turbo mode and found the fans do spool up quite a bit, and unless you are really listening for it, the Massive TM can barely be heard. Even in Turbo mode, over various test rounds, we were only able to lower the CPU and VGA by a degree (and by only two degrees in one run).

The pricing of these Massive TM coolers is reasonable enough that you can try one for yourself; you may have better luck with your notebook than we did with our pair of Lenovo computers. Even when we went to the older 15" version, we still found the same issues with sliding around of both the cooler and the notebook. The controls are nice and solid, and the readout is easy to see, but for all the fighting we went though over the past week or two with the Massive TM, we will be removing it from the desk shortly. We will trade it in for something much more gripping.
Chad joined the TweakTown team in 2009 and has since reviewed 100s of new techy items. After a year of gaming, Chad caught the OC bug. With overclocking comes the need for better cooling, and Chad has had many air and water setups. With a few years of abusing computer parts, he decided to take his chances and try to get a review job. As an avid overclocker, Chad is always looking for the next leg up in RAM and coolers.
The innovative XMG OASIS radically rethinks the concept of laptop cooling. As an optional accessory for the XMG NEO 15 (E22), this external laptop liquid cooling sets new standards for quieter, cooler and faster operation.
