| 10/10 | ThinkComputers.Org | Knowing NZXT as mainly a maker of cases and power supplies I wondered how well the Cryo LX would perform. After seeing the quality they put into it and the performance I am impressed. Not many companies use aluminum in notebook coolers, I am glad to see the NZXT did. Aluminum is less likely to break and it is much better for cooling than cheap plastic. Not only did NZXT make the Cryo LX out of aluminum they gave it power with 3 huge 120mm fans that take care of the cooling.I am really impressed with the Cryo LX, it is good to see a company put time and quality into a notebook cooler. You can find the Cryo LX online for around $59.99, which is about right since that is what you would pay for a good CPU cooler. Overall ThinkComputers gives the NZXT Cryo LX Notebook Cooler a 10 out of 10 score and our Recommended Award! | 2008-05-12 |
| Hardware Logic Great Innovation | Hardware Logic | When all is said and done, we found the NZXT Cryo LX to be a solid performing notebook cooling solution. With its heavy-duty, solid aluminum frame and three variable RPM 120mm cooling fans, NZXT has designed a superb product that is both versatile and capable of cooling your notebook computer. During our time with the product, we found the Cryo LX to comfortably accommodate and support laptops up to 17" in size with room to spare. With four externally powered USB ports and the ability to fold itself into a more easily transportable form, the Cryo LX is one of the best engineered and designed notebook coolers on the market today.We feel that NZXT, famous for its forward thinking and vision in creating quality computing products, has a real winner in the Cryo LX. With features galore and a pioneering design sure to woo even the most jaded enthusiast, the Cryo LX is our top pick for a notebook cooling solution, and thus earns our coveted Great Innovation award. | 2008-03-24 |
| 5 Star Recommended | FutureLooks.com | NZXT has done a terrific job with the Cryo LX. I love the thick aluminum construction and the trio of fans with speed control. The four-port USB hub is an added bonus as most coolers simply rob you of an extra port, while the cooling performance is reasonably good. In the end, the NZXT Cryo LX notebook cooler comes well recommended for any power users looking for an effective cooling solution for their notebooks. | 2008-03-24 |
| Tech Knowledge Arena | A notebook cooler will not be required for the average notebook. But definitely anyone using a high-end gaming or desktop replacement unit with a high end GPU and CPU should assess the temperatures that their hardware is running at and think about whether they need to invest in a cooler. CPUID's HWMonitir tool is easy to use and free. Hardware that is pushed close to its max definitely has a much shorter life span. Running components at high temperatures not only has the potential to damage those components, but also components around them as well which are not designed to run at extreme temperatures. Most notebooks only have a short life span as it is. If you've invested good money into a high end notebook, taking the extra step of getting a notebook cooler could see your investment go a lot further.The NZXT Cryo LX is a must have cooler for any enthusiast notebook user. | 2008-02-28 | |
| 3/5 | Associated Content | The NZXT Cryo LX looks like a mean cooler for notebooks and will fit all sizes even the big 19" widescreens. I am not sure how larger widescreens will fair on it but as long as the feet of the widescreen notebook is not wider than the 16.6 inches width of the cooler they should be just fine. Another bit of a problem here is the cost of this heavy duty cooler at about $70 according to other reviewers; I couldn't find where to purchase it though.The NZXT Cryo LX Notebook Cooler is a nice heavy duty notebook cooler that will definitely last a long time due to the durable aluminum design. I recommend the NZXT Cryo LX as a good large notebook cooler, if you can find one. | 2008-02-18 |

| OCIA Seal Of Approval | OCIA.Net | The NZXT Cryo LX is a heavy-duty, high-performance notebook cooler. As NZXT is all about gamers, they mainly intend it for someone that uses a notebook for gaming.The Cryo LX does its job quite well. It moves a serious amount of air, actually cooling the notebook case rather than just blowing air towards the notebook's vents. Included is a 4-port USB hub, for those that don't have enough ports for USB devices and an on-board fan controller. | 2008-02-06 |
| 8.75 / 10 | Benchmark Reviews | The NZXT Cryo LX Aluminum Notebook Cooler arrived in a very attractive package. It set the standards just a bit higher because who doesn't judge a book by its cover. When I removed the NZXT Cryo LX Aluminum Notebook Cooler from the box I was surprised at the weight of the cooler. It is solid aluminum so it is heavy. It is extremely well put together and has ample rubberised grips to protect your laptop. The fans are well placed and there is ample airflow. | 2008-02-05 |
| 8/10 | Unique Rigs | We can say for sure that NZXT always brings its "A" game when it comes to designs. Their PC cases are designed uniquely which sets them apart from other manufacturers. The designs of the Cryo are uniquely NZXT. From the layout, functionality and cooling prowess, the Cryo LX is a must have if you have a laptop that is a desktop replacement. | 2008-01-31 |
| Big Bruin Recommanded | Big Bruin | The bottom line on the NZXT Cryo LX Notebook Cooler is that it is a very well made product that could serve an important role for some notebook computers. If you have a larger notebook that generally serves as a desktop replacement and gets worked pretty hard playing games, I would have no problem recommending the Cryo LX, if the price was right.While it may deserve an award for being built like a tank or being the most extreme notebook cooler I have used, we don't have any awards like that! But, the quality, performance, and convenience do help it to earn the Bigbruin.com "Recommended" award. | 2008-01-30 |
| 7.5/10 | APH Networks\ | The NZXT does its job well - cooling the laptop - and looks beautiful while doing it - what more could you ask for? Its got a great design with excellent functionality, and it's large enough to accommodate the majority of mainstream laptops. It cools the laptop well during usage. Its got four USB ports that actually work. Rubber feet that are actually a great touch, as it protects the excellently finished NZXT Cryo LX from the possible scratches of the desk, as well as retaining its position on the desk that it's been placed on. And the fan speeds are adjustable, for goodness' sakes! If you choose to use it as a laptop dock while your laptop is plugged into an outlet, I think this would be a great product to try. | 2008-01-29 |
| Dreamware Computers Recommended | Dreamware Computers | This is one solid and well built cooling pad with three quiet 120mm fans doing an excellent job of shedding a few extra degrees off my laptop when being tested. The built in USB hub is also a plus and can be used to help intigrate the Cryo as a desktop dock eliminating the need to unplug many separate USB cables from your laptop when it's time to pack up and go. It's size is also made slightly easier to transport by the ability to fold the front half under. If you're looking for the ultimate laptop cooling solution, I think NZXT may just have a solid contender for you to look at! | 2008-01-25 |
