RedMagic Cooler 8 Pro received a design in the style of Dark Zone Breakout
The limited version immediately differs from the standard cooler in appearance. The body is made in yellow-silver color and stylized under carbon, which gives the accessory a more aggressive gamer look.
RedMagic also adds a set of themed stickers to the kit. They can be used to decorate the smartphone or the cooler itself, so that the device looks like a part of the gaming kit. However, the main feature of RedMagic Cooler 8 Pro is not the design, but the cooling system.
The cooler dissipates up to 36 W of heat
A large area thermoelectric cooling element is installed inside 1640 mm². It contains 124 pairs of thermoelectric elementswhich transfer heat from the surface of the smartphone to the radiator. According to RedMagic, the efficiency of the new cooling system is approx 130% higherthan the previous generation. The maximum declared cooling capacity is 36 W. The manufacturer also claims that the cooler is able to reduce the temperature of the smartphone’s surface during intensive use up to 80 °C. In no-load mode, the system can reach a temperature of up to -25 °C. These figures should be taken precisely as the characteristics of the cooling system, and not as a guarantee that the smartphone will cool down to −25 °C during the game. The actual temperature will depend on the ambient temperature, the design of the smartphone, the contact with the cooler and the operating mode. Responsible for removing heat from the radiator 11-blade fanwhich expands to 6500 rpm.
A separate charger is required for maximum power
There is an important nuance that should be taken into account before buying the RedMagic Cooler 8 Pro. To work at the maximum capacity of the cooler, external power is required. RedMagic indicates the minimum power of the charger 45 Wand for the most powerful mode recommends the adapter on 65 W. It is also possible to connect the cooler directly to the smartphone, but in this case the fan will work at a much lower speed. According to the manufacturer, the cooling efficiency when powered by a smartphone can decrease by approx double. Therefore, for full use of the Cooler 8 Pro, it is better to have a separate 45-65 W charger. If there is no such adapter, its cost should be included in the total price of the kit.
Who needs RedMagic Cooler 8 Pro
This accessory is primarily designed for smartphone owners who regularly play demanding games 3D games for a long time. High body temperature can lead to processor and graphics core throttlingdue to which the smartphone begins to lose performance. As a result, the frame rate drops, and the stability of the game deteriorates. A powerful external cooler helps keep the temperature under control for longer. This is especially relevant for eSports games, where a stable frame rate is important, as well as for heavy projects with long gaming sessions. At the same time, buying such an accessory does not make much sense for a smartphone that is used mainly for social networks, videos and simple games. In such scenarios, a simpler and cheaper cooler is sufficient.
