Smart Sealed Laptop Cooler – Asus Zephyrus G16 (And maybe others??)
Welcome to the companion model for my latest YouTube project! If you want to push the performance of your Asus Zephyrus G16, this custom-designed, fully sealed laptop cooling pad is the ultimate upgrade.
In my own testing, this setup achieved a solid 10 to 15°C reduction in temperatures, keeping the laptop cool and quiet even under heavy loads. The enclosure was designed with functional minimalism in mind, giving you a clean, industrial-engineered aesthetic that looks great on any desk setup.
The design features a VESA mount, so it is inteded to be used on a monitor arm, not on the desk.
The “Smart” features are not a necessity, you could just make a version with Fans, Power and a Potentiometer for control
Key Features
- Sealed Airflow Chamber: Maximizes static pressure to force cool air directly into the laptop's intake vents without air leaking out the sides.
- Dual 120mm Fan Mounts: Designed to fit standard PC case fans for massive airflow and quiet operation.
- Smart Display: Integrated screen cutout to show real-time laptop temperatures and fan RPM.
- Physical Controls: Mount for a rotary encoder, allowing you to easily click and dial in your fan speeds and settings on the fly.
- PC-Connected Microcontroller: The brains of the operation—hooks to your computer via wifi to sync data and adjust cooling dynamically.
Hardware Requirements (BOM)
- 2x 120mm PC Fans (Standard 25mm thickness)
- 1x Microcontroller (e.g., ESP32 or Arduino)
- 1x Display Module (OLED/LCD)
- 1x Rotary Encoder
- Assorted M2, M3, M4 and M5 Screws, Nuts and Threaded Inserts
- Wiring and power cables
- USB-C Trigger board
- Step down converter 12V → 5V or 3.3V
Print Settings (Already set in file)
- Material: PETG or ABS/ASA is highly recommended. Because this sits right next to a heat source, standard PLA may warp over time.
- Walls: 3 to 4 walls for structural rigidity.
- Infill: 15-20% Gyroid.
- Orientation: Everything is placed in the correct printing orientation already, and designed to be printed without supports

I spent moths designing this system, if you like it and get good results, a boost would be appreciated! :)
Assembly & Code
The code can be found on my GitHub
- Desktop Companion App: https://github.com/ooepi/FanControl-Desktop
- ESP32 Firmware Code: https://github.com/ooepi/FanControl-ESP32
Since this project involves wiring a microcontroller and flashing firmware, I highly recommend watching the full build video on my YouTube channel. The video covers the step-by-step assembly, how to wire the electronics, and how to get the telemetry software communicating with the display.
Happy printing and stay cool!
