Unitek Cooling Dock review: Can it actually keep my ROG Ally cool enough?

Unitek Cooling Dock with fan on.

If you have an Asus ROG Ally gaming handheld or have been keeping up with news surrounding it, then you know that the device tends to get rather hot. This is often the case for portable gaming systems, especially those with screens. As such, finding ways to reduce the handhelds temperatures with things like cooling docks can help improve the Ally's longevity.

With all of this in mind, I've been testing the Unitek Cooling Dock with my ROG Ally for over 13 hours to see how well it works. Using a thermal camera, I've documented how hot the device gets on its own versus how well the Unitek accessory cools it. The Cooling Dock makes for a nice docking hub, and it does cool my handheld a fair amount, but it doesn't solve all of the ROG Ally's heating problems.
