IETS GT500 High-Speed Turbo-Fan Laptop Cooling Pad - 5000 RPM RGB Gaming Cooler with Adjustable Speed & Seal Foam for 13-17.3 Inch Laptops, 3-Port USB Hub - Perfect for Gaming, Streaming & Heavy Workloads

I know , I know, £92 for a laptop cooler seems insane right?Except it's not really. Don't get me wrong, it's plastic and feels like the markup must be truly something but having spent serious money on a gaming laptop it's hardly really something I was willing to quibble over. Reasons being despite my laptop running at perfectly acceptable temperature, this has the benefit of something most coolers don't...dust filtering. The foam creates a great seal to base of the laptop and can easily be modified to ensure no fan area is blocked off. This was the main reasons for purchasing as I don't particularly want to have to dismantle the laptop every so often to clean it voiding warranty and risking damage each time.Is it loud? Well yes, it can be but I don't run it at max, although in summer months that will likely be the case. Once laptop is on top though it's actually really not too bad at all. It definitely lowers temperature, by about 10-12 degrees Celsius in my limited testing so far, could possibly cool even further at maximum, I've been running at around 70-75%. RGB lighting is a bit awkward to work, I only really spent 10 minutes experimenting as too much RGB isn't really my thing so it's switched off. This cooler is especially ideal for laptops that expell air largely at the back with bottom intakes.For the price, I can see people being put off, but for keeping a gaming laptop cool and dust free, I can't find anything else that can do that. It's sturdy, doesn't feel premium in anyway, which when you first open it you do feel skeptical, but it does do as it says. For a gaming laptop costing upwards of £1500, £92 to ensure longevity and the fact it won't cook the thermal paste so you have to redo every year is by far and worth the outlay in my view. Also it comes with a UK adapter, something earlier models didn't apparently, so no need to worry about getting a 2 pin plug adapter.I've given 5 star's because it does all it claims to, however it's not perfect, a better RGB controller and maybe more premium materials in the base and really it would be perfect and likely help people be more acceptable of the price as people who buy and don't check temperature difference or not really concerned about dust build up, basically the majority who just buy a laptop and accessories without really knowing what's what will likely feel a bit short changed as they will be less aware of the benefits this thing has.Unsure how long it will last, but I will report back if any issues.So have been running more benchmarks and this thing has my CPU and GPU at 74C highest temperature, at three quarters fan speed. That's a Core i7 12700h with a TDP in performance mode of 100W and a RTX 3070TI with a TGP of 150W! No throttling obviously and with these temperatures the CPU and GPU can stay boosted which results in excellent performance.Update - With further testing at maximum and an undervolt on my 3070Ti to 0.870v and in a stress test pulling maximum 150W allowable TDP and temperature reaches only 61C after two hours. That's pretty insane. Performance is improved also over stock as GPU can boost beyond the usual recommended as well within it's comfort zone. Even in summer, add another 10-15 degrees and still well under the 87C threshold where throttling starts to occur. Very impressed, and as laptop cooling solution is paired for GPU and CPU there's the added benefit of CPU temperatures being lessened as well due to more effecient dissipation. Highest maximum on CPU now is 67C in stress testing, real world scenario and it's unlikely either will ever go above 60C, which equates to longevity being potentially a lot longer.
