Guess what is it?
A crab? The tool for clip game? Or a small UFO?
No,all the above answers are wrong.
It is the new cooler launched by EVERCOOL,who is always driven by the coexistence of both cooling and aesthetics,but also emphasizing the usability.
What are the purposes of Dr.Cool?
Dr.Cool is the World's first specialized cooler for Routers and IP sharing devices with a unique design. It was conceived with three features in mind : branding,creative aesthetics and effective cooling.This last being where EVERCOOL pays special attention to,as well as taking into consideration user's feedback. It has a white, delicate and compact appearance that makes it attractive to people's eyes.
Dr.Cool provides a cooling solution to address overheating problems.Using one 8cm long-life fan it provides sufficient airflow to achieve silent cooling,effectively dissipating the heat. It also helps prevent damage caused by heat by long periods of operation and extend the router's or IP sharing device's life expectancy.

The retractable clip design makes Dr. Cool compatible with different sizes of routers (IP sharing devices), additionally it can be used for 2.5"portable hard disks,tablet PCs,Netbooks or other accessories.The multi-clip design makes it very easy for users to install it, just place and clip. Soft pads inside the clips further secure the router or devices as well as preventing it from sliding.Dr. Cool can powered by either USB or a DC power transformer,which makes very convenient for users.

For this to work you would have to make vent holes in your router. Ideally you would have to make holes for the forced air to enter and holes for the hot air to exit. This is similar to the notebook coolers on the market. Sure they are a good idea but have very little effect. I would also like to believe that the router manufacturers test their routers for extended periods of time at high temperatures before they release them to the market. For whatever reason I seem to go through a router roughly every 12-18 months. The last 2 or 3 I've opened after they broke just had the chipset, no cooler. If nothing else I think gluing a heatsink to the chipset would help.
It's not a bad design how it creates space underneath and can be used for various sizes and in various orientations.
But 80mm is a bit dated and noisy though compared to 120mm.
Still, I'm surprised it's so cleverly universal.
And in reply to the other comment, most all routers do have holes, and by the design of this you get air moving around it too so that will pull air away quicker.
Not that a decent router should not be fine anyway, but if you are living in an area where it gets hot in the summer and you can't afford AC (india and such) then this sort of thing might be just the extra push you need.
(Even x360's and big-name devices have failed due to heat on occasion after all)
