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

I recently started gaming on my laptop and noticed it was getting hot, so I decided to purchase this cooling stand to help. It work great! The computer is slightly warm to the touch but significantly cooler than before. The fan is a bit loud but you can turn down the fan speed if the noise is too much. It has foam seals to fit whatever size laptop you have, which keeps the air moving directly onto your laptop rather than seeping out. Overall, I’d recommend to anyone that needs a good cooling fan for their laptop.

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.

Ran Second Life Firestorm viewer at maximum graphics resolution with 20fps, draw distance to 1024, and maximum complexity 300K and in parallel ran Google Chrome browser with a youtube video playing. This pushed the NVIDIA GForce GTX1050 to 100% and Intel i7 to 25% with internal fan cooling only. The GPU temp hit +72C, turn on this cooling fan at low settings for minimum noise and GPU temperature dropped to +68C. Turn fan to maximum and the GPU temperature drops from +72C to +54C. Big difference and no thermal throttling! The cooling pad can be very noisy with the fan running at full capacity, but with headphones on, no system lag, no thermal throttling (usually clocks turned down), the noise is tolerable. Noise canceling headphones are best. If you do not want to used head phones, then be aware that this unit can be very very noisy at max fan speed. Next, the USB expander on the right side is perfect (one to three ports). I can expand one of my USB-C ports to three USB 2.0 ports. This is available on the IETS GT500V1. I used the expander for headphones, camera, and wired mouse. This product is from China (we'll see if it lasts, but Chinese companies can produce and export good products ... if they want to, so far this product appears to be of very good quality and solidly built).

Works better than I expected. 2 weeks of use so far. No issues.Pros:- insane cooling. My laptop use to get burning hot under stress, making the keyboard unusable. Now, running at max RPM, it's often COOLER than my body temperature.- Great design. The foam keeps the laptop from sliding around and traps the cool air. Plastic is durable and stable with strong legs.CONS:-LOUD AF. this is probably best suited for home use. Similar to your PS4 struggling to run Crysis. But the cooling performance is worth the noise.-requires DC power to run. Probably cuz thing has a Boeing 747 jet engine.- not very portable. Won't fit into a small backpack or bag.If you are running into thermal throttling cuz your laptop is too hot then this will solve all your issues.

I cannot thank my coworker enough that suggested this to me. I noticed a roughly 10 degree drop in temps overall when running harsh programs like adobe applications and games. I've even noticed my actual laptop fans running far less.Couldn't give it 5 stars due to some of the materials. The arms that extend feel very weak - I find myself knocking them out of place pretty easily and the rubber padding on the feet fall off frequently. The foam is great for conforming to my device, however I do notice it has started to give a little to easily after several months of use.It's loud, but I could care less about that. It's very lightweight and the design makes it very portable. Using it's own power source is a massive plus, I hate taking a USB cord for fans.Get it. Worth.
