I chose this month as this is the Hottest month of the Year to test my iQOO 12 and the cooler

First i will test how the cooler performs alone. Here the room ambient temperature is 29.5 celcius. Now i will let the cooler run.


Before starting I'll also show the cooling pad temperature which is same as ambient room Temperature.

I used a 25 watt PD charger with the cooler and After 2 mins of running the surface temperature of the cooler surface reaches 9.6 celcius . It doesn't go lower than 9 even if left for more time.

Next i will run Cpu throttle test at 50 threads for 10 mins in my iQOO 12 without a cooler

Lets measure the temperature before starting

Figure 6, view larger image


After 10 mins of running u can see the temperature and scores. 82 percent stability with an Average score of 390K and temperature in the middle of the frame is 43.6

Now i will connect the cooler and let the device cool down till it reaches ambient room Temperature

Now lets begin the Test and check the Temperature again. The phone temperature is now same as ambient temperature I'll let the cpu test run for 10 mins at the same configuration as previously.

Now lets check the scores and temperature 

Figure 10, view larger image
  • Temperature is now 2 degrees cooler but the scores are now very high.
  • The average score increased from 390k to 434k

The Peak score increased from 448k to 518k

 Donot be confused by the stability percentage it is determined by the initial starting score. iQOO 12 with cooler started at a Higher score of more than 500k so the percentage is calculated based on that. 



Overview of the iQOO Cooler

🧊 Design


Figure 12, view larger image
  • The Ultra Cooling Back Clip features a Qool and lightweight design.
  • Visually attractive with eye-catching backlit effects 👀.
  • The RGB lighting adds a premium and aesthetic look ✨.
  • Overall, it feels stylish and fits perfectly with a gaming setup.



❄️ Cooling

  • The high-speed internal fan cools your device rapidly and efficiently. ( You can see moisture develop on the cooler surface as it cools down everything in contact )
  • Ideal for long gaming sessions — maintains stable temperature without adding extra weight.
  • Keeps your phone "Qool" for maximum performance 🔥( also keeping your phone's hardware life preserved )


🌞 Usage

Figure 14, view larger image
  • Best suited for summer, when devices tend to heat up faster. ( I also use it to charge my phone so that 120 watt charger doesn't affect my battery health )
  • During winter, casual gamers might not need it much, but heavy gamers will still find it useful. ( I definitely need it in winters as well since I'm not the average gamer)
  • Perfect for maintaining consistent performance during extended play sessions. ( Like playing Genshin Impact Story quests or CODM battle royale )


⚙️ Performance

Figure 15, view larger image
  • The cooling efficiency is a standout feature — works fast and effectively.
  • Noticeable temperature drop in a short period of time. ( 2 - 5 mins )
  • Ensures smooth gameplay and peak device performance 🔥. ( Just don't run heavy Emulator games with this, for that you'll need iQOO's 35 watt cooler which is only available in china )


💡 What's Attractive

Figure 16, view larger image
  • The backlit design instantly catches attention.
  • iQOO branding on both sides enhances its premium feel.
  • The text "Monster Inside" at the back adds a signature iQOO flair 🧢.
  • A must-have accessory for every iQOO fan ✨.


⏱️ Long Duration Comfort

Figure 17, view larger image
  • Feels lightweight even during long gaming hours.
  • Doesn't strain the hand or affect grip. ( Although i would prefer magnetic attachment so it doesn't compress my screen on/off button during gaming )
  • Offers comfort and stability throughout extended use.



Ports & Connectivity

Figure 18, view larger image
  • Equipped with dual Type-C ports. ( The type-c port you see above is for charging your phone through the cooler don't stick the charger here )
  • One port connects to the handset for cooling; the other allows simultaneous charging while gaming. ( I tried this simultaneous charging feature and try to turn on bypass charging in my Z10R and it worked . I'm pretty impressed no other cooler giving extra charging port for the device not even iQOO's new cooler models in china. This model is special)

  • Convenient and well-designed for continuous use 🔌. ( Just stick a 15 watt charger and you're good to go )


🪙 Contact Material 

Figure 20, view larger image
  • The material appears to be a thermally conductive silicone pad. The same one used for heating pads in service centers.
Figure 21, view larger image
  • This kind of material may not have as high thermal conductivity as metal plates on some cooling pads but this cools just as well as being rubbery makes sure it doesn't scratch your phone's back glass. 
  • The pads are soft and pliable, which allows them to fill the tiny air gaps and microscopic irregularities between the phone's back and the cooling pad's metal heat sink. By eliminating these gaps, the pad ensures maximum surface contact and optimal heat transfer.
  • Electrical insulation : Quality silicone thermal pads are non-conductive, which is a key safety feature that prevents short circuits when placed near a phone's electronic components or directly touching the phones back and metal body.
  • Durability : Silicone pads are resistant to temperature fluctuations and will not dry out or degrade over time, although be sure not to poke the surface with any sharp object or you may damage it permanently. 

This concludes the Test. iQOO Cooler offers massive improvement enabling better heat dissipation. I very highly recommend you to use phone coolers when playing heavy games or Emulation. Keeps your battery health preserved and also gives better gaming performance.
