GT500 Powerful Turbo-Fan (5000 RPM) Laptop Cooling Pad with Infinitely Variable Speed,Seal Foam for Rapid Cooling Gaming Laptop,13-17.3inch Laptop Cooler with 3-Port USB Hub

Just to address the big complaint real quick, the noise. On their website, they bring immediate and substantial attention directly to this issue. They provide accurate decibel levels for the fan noise on their various models at various speeds. And warn people that this pad may not be for everyone if you cannot tolerate that. They use an industrial grade fan and when you get to between 4,200 and 5,000 RPMS, there is going to be some sound. This is a POWERFUL cooling solution for people that require serious thermal reduction in order to achieve proper performance due to their machines lacking ability at heat displacement, or for other individuals that want increase their possible performance output in gaming or content creation by achieving a greater degree heat displacement and thermal cooling. For example those Overclocking their hardware for max performance and such. If you are one of those people, then this is the pad you want. If you are someone that already has a good gaming laptop that does not suffer from overheating, then you are almost definitely not ever going to need to turn this thing above about half power, in which case, the noise is not bad at all. You can fine tune the power of the fan with a dial that allows you to very slowly increase the revolutions. I have a 17.3 inch Lenovo Legion with an i7 and an RTX 3000 series GPU, Legions naturally have a very good heat pipe system, and prior to this pad, I was just using a cheap pad for elevation and some extra light cooling. Playing Elden Ring at all max settings, while monitoring with MSI Afterburner, and after long periods of gaming, my thermals were between 68-72C, which is great, but I wanted better, and wanted dust protection, so I got this pad, and at all the same settings, at about half power or maybe less, I average about 58-62C and the fans are not loud enough that I even need headphones if I don't want. So the reason I am going into this kind of detail, is to point out, that unless you are having serious cooling issues, which forces you to blast the fans over 70% power, noise can be highly customized to fit your thermal requirements. So that is what I have to say about the main complaint people have with this pad. Otherwise it does what it says. I have a friend that had an older MSI laptop with a good CPU and GPU, but the cooling system just could not handle the hardware, common to MSI laptops. Their laptop was at over 105C which is to the point where you are going to start seeing permanent damage to your system, after getting this pad, and using at or near max power, it was noisy, but it took it from 105C to as low as 75C, that's literally game changing, lol. I have not seen any pad on the market able to come even slightly close to getting those results. It's the difference between your laptop gaming, and your laptop being replaced. On the downside the pad is pretty pricy, can go all the way up to $90 if you want the three data hubs and lightning, which is totally unnecessary, but would be nice if they provided you with all of it for the normal $70 price, but when you have the best laptop cooling solution on the market, with no other brands even coming close, I think it's worth it. This pad can be used by both people wanting to provide security for their expensive laptop, keeping the components cool and preventing dust buildup, at a totally tolerable noise level, or also be a saving grace for people that are in thermal meltdown mode, in which case you are going to require some headphones. Personally I think any serious laptop gamers should take time to consider this device, given the insane price of laptops right now, especially those with dedicated GPUs, this can be a very solid investment. Either way, can't hurt to give it a try. Only people I would not recommend this pad to, are those that have a laptop design that does not have rear intake fans. The pad could still possibly provide you with some cooling effect, but you might want to do some additional research before purchasing. Happy gaming Ya'll.

I have an Acer Predator Helios Neo 16. It has a GPU and gets quite hot when I run programs that are energy intensive, such as tensorflow for some of my more advanced python programs. I don't game, so I can't comment on that. In the past I tried to use two different inexpensive labtop coolers, one of which was rated on Amazon about the same as the IETS (4.5), but were much less expensive, and neither one lowered the internal temperature of the labtop measurably. I am VERY happy with the IETS, though. It is basic in that there are no glowing lights, no displays of fan speed, but it absolutely gets the job done. Most of all, I wanted a cooler that would not make a lot of noise when its running. This model is excellent in that regards, even though the advertisement warns that it is loud when run at high speeds. I never need to crank it all the way up to near maximum speed, which avoids the loud noise, but the labtops internal temperature still runs 10-20 degrees F cooler even on a very reduced fan speed. I have measured it several times and there is no doubt that it is excellent in its control of internal temperature of the Acer. There is a soft hum at the level I use it, but it is quiet and not jarring. You control the fan speed, by the way, by a small wheel on the left side of the IETS. The unit does not plug into the USB port of the labtop, but has a separate power plug with about a 5 foot long cord. Works fine from my perspective. The unit did cost in the range of 80+ dollars, but my experience is that buying the $25 units that I tried don't get the job done, as does this unit. So, my take home message is if you don't want bells and whistles (I mean, its job is just to cool down the labtop), but you really care about keeping your gaming labtop cool without having to suffer through loud noises, this model performs quite well.

Background i7-8565U (HP Spectre laptop). It runs hot and had to use throttlestop to even consider the laptop useable when running anything because HP had the wonderful idea to run a fan curve from 0 to 100% at 95C which didn't always catch it before the laptop would thermally shutdown at 100C. throttlestop did well to keep it below that cooking point but unfortunately had to use the laptop at a pretty undervolted state making it run slow on windows. Mitigated this performance dip by moving to linux however linux didn't have a throttlestop equvalent and the undervolting solutions seems to hit a wall with a locked BIOS leading me to at best BIOS always fan on, but still would run at a lower speed on the cpu fans so overheating was a possibility. (after cleaning out laptop of dust and setting to fan always on, undervolting not an option on linux due to locked by bios) I ended up with the IET GT500. when running at full speed it can get my laptop down to 30C on idle and 40-50C on high demand (which I was seeing 60-80C on idle and 95C to possible shutdown at 100C without the GT500) on quiet lowest setting was getting about 40-60C Idle and 70 to 80C on demand. There is a significant cooling with my laptop since it is a metal frame thin laptop, has bottom vent and back, outflow vents and the cpu fans on always on along with the GT500 fan working with the foam provided. This product has given me full performance on a laptop that was recommended to remain undervolted due to its lack of cooling to run its chipset at its highest setting. Definely would recommend. Only one small caveat probably is the power cable for this cooler is a bit on the short side so would recommend getting an extender for it if you want to use it as a lapdesk for your laptop.

Pretty good (I’m using the GT500v1 according to the sticker on the bottom of the fan unit), my only complaint is that the legs pop out relatively easily with side force (pushing on the leg from the side, like if you brush up against something while you’re picking up the unit and moving it towards yourself). I don’t use the hub (the usb-c to usb-c cable that attaches the unit to your computer to give you 3 more usb-a ports on the unit). The fan rotates fast and gets rid of heat quickly. I’m using it with a little powerhouse Lenovo LOQ 15irh8 (13th gen intel i7-13700H, 32gb ram, Nvidia GeForce rtx 4060 8gb vram) which gets hot quickly and doesn’t have intense enough fans to get rid of the heat generated easily. I didn’t realize the little metal tabs in the front were to hold the laptop to the fan unit until a long time into using it (those are definitely helpful. The foam helps seat the laptop well, not allowing air to escape. It’s somewhat loud when you turn the fan all the way to its maximum speed.

This cooling pad is the best I've ever found. I have my laptop on most of the day, sometimes 12-hour days. I needed a good cooling pad and found this one. I keep it running 10 - 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, and it doesn't miss a beat. I love that the fan speed is easily adjusted to meet my demands. To adjust the fan speed, you simply turn a dial. It is fairly quiet, depending on how high you have the fan speed. I've had this cooling pad for several weeks now, and it performs perfectly. If you need a reliable cooling pad, then this is the one. It's worth the cost and will definitely protect your laptop from overheating. Oh, and there is a filter built in to protect your laptop from dust. Highly recommended!

It's GREAT! Been using this since July 2023. Had it on full blast ever since Dust is barely an issue. The dust that makes it past the filter over a long period of time is VERY finely grained and easy to wipe/blow off. The filter itself gets very dirty though IDK if I can or should take it apart to clean the blades. IDK if it's designed for it The foam on top is weathered. It's covered in dust and definitely worn. The laptop made a permanent imprint As for my laptop; this cooling pad definitely keeps it cool. It's as cool as it's gonna get. There are no issues regarding leaks. My 16" laptop sits on it with plenty of space to spare. This pad could definitely handle a giant laptop. It also depends on where your intake vent is location. Mine is just in the spot where I can use both the foam layers for a tighter vacccum/funnel The USB hub sucks The elevation is great! The angles you can get are really good After years of use, the fans don't grind, they haven't slowed down, they haven't failed. I have this thing on maximum RPM 24/7. Very durable For a chinese product, this is very impressive. I would highly recommend this, or probably any later variant

The only complaint is that at full 5000 RPM the noise is very audible, but I guess this tradeoff cannot be avoided. All server rooms with advanced cooling are noisy. If you lower fan speed in half or more, when laptop is lightly used or idle the fan is sufficiently quiet. The product has very smart design, where the entire bottom of your laptop besides perimeter, which is sitting on a foam square, is hanging in the air, above air container of this cooling pad. the huge fan inside that air container is pushing cold air through the bottom of the laptop and there are escape paths for the hot air. Comparing to my previous cooling pad, which was flat with 5 fans blowing into the bottom of the laptop, but no air box underneath the laptop, this pad keeps my CPU package 20-25C cooler during intense tasks like AI video encoding or gaming. This will help avoid thermal throttling of your CPU and GPU chipsets during any task.

I feel like I actually found laptop‑cooling nirvana. The IETS GT500 is the first fan I’ve owned that doesn’t feel like it’s going to snap in half if I look at it wrong. The 4200 RPM turbo‑fan is insanely powerful, and even on high, it’s surprisingly quiet— for me, it sounds like just a soft whoosh that disappears into the background. It cools my laptop down in minutes, it is all electric, so it doesn’t steal any USB ports, and feels solid and stable. The legs did pop off once and scared me, but they snapped right back on. I’m convinced they’re designed that way so they don’t actually break under pressure. After several cheap fans literally fell apart on me, this one feels like a forever purchase. Most importantly, it is powerful and will cool your overheated laptop fast! Efficient, quiet, durable—finally, the real deal.
