IETSGT300 Double Blower Laptop Cooling Pad for 14-17 Inch Gaming Laptop, Cooler Pad with Dust Filter, Flexible Rubber Ring, Colorful Lights,Adjustable Mount Stand,Third Gear Speed

Using this on a Dell G5 15SE (5505) with a 4800H and RX5600M. This laptop uses AMD's Smartshift and has cooling/heating issues out of the box (110c operational temps) Fully tuned we can get it to around 90c. Enter this cooling pad...77c-83c operational temps all while keeping the keyboard warm (instead of burning) to the touch(Biggest part of the value!). This cooling pad is the real deal! Pricey? yes! But worth the investment Today.Product Feature review.Cons1. No thermal sensor, There should be a fan 'auto' mode!2. Turned on but "fan off" the fan is on 'very low' and barely audible. The fan should be off here.3. RGB is a nice 'to have' if that is your thing, the RGB controller is as basic as it gets. 4 Lighting 'select' modes that are static (Purple, Green, Blue, Red). There is a 5th mode, but you have to unplug the cooling pad to get this to work, its not on the selector - this is color cycle. There is no speed control for cycle mode either, its very slow.4. No USB Pass through. The unit has two USB ports but they are not setup for Data and cannot be shared with the laptops host port to plug in a USB hub and such.Pros1. Fan control is amazing. Turn the fan off and you get 'ultra low', turn to '1' and its gentile and cools good for CPU duty. Gaming on mode 2 and 3 are loud (3 being super loud and expected). Mode 3 gave me a 15c+ drop in Temps, but its too loud and interferes with my headset since I run 'auto-talk' for things like Discord.2. You can turn off the RGB. Push and hold the RGB button until the lighting turns off. Simple as that! Every time the cooler turns on we have to do this, so this is also a con as there is no 'memory' built in to the RGB controller here. BUT we can turn the lighting off if we want while still using the fan!3. The Angle. The edge of this laptop is sharp and requires an angle to stop it from cutting into your wrists. The 'wedge' angle on this cooler is just 100% perfect for lap use.4. The seal. This system is 100% legit and works really well. I cant wait to fully test this in summer. The seal is a good 98% on full contact, you can feel air escape the seal at mode 2 and mode 3, but not 'off' and mode 1. The pressure inside of the empty area under the laptop has a really high PSI and increased CFM because of this. No other cooler offers this yet and I cant wait to see what other options show up as time moves on. This system really works5. Room. There is a TON OF ROOM inside of the cooler. We can remove and replace the RGB with 5v ARGB strips and use a USB powered ARGB USB 'software' controller if we want to get more control. We have room to install speakers (yes that's right) and make them usb powered as well. What we can do with this cooling pad in the modding arena gets very interesting when considering this.6. Cleaning. Cleaning the filters, fans, and inside area from dust is going to be very simple. easier to get into then my other laptop coolers (some are metal mesh with folded tabs that break when straightened for maintenance).

The TLDR version: Do you have a gaming laptop? A cooling pad is absolutely essential if you're running an Alienware laptop, or any gaming laptop with dedicated graphics co-processor. Of the many cooling pads I've tried, this is the one that has actually delivered immediate and lasting benefit, as proven by a significant reduction in both measured processor temperature and laptop fan speed. This is the one you're looking for.Want to learn more? Read on...The reason you need a cooling pad is that these gaming laptops run HOT. Really HOT. Almost insanely HOT.I have an Alienware 15 R4. It has an Intel I9 processor, 32 Gb of RAM, and an Nvidia dedicated graphics card with its own 8Gb of graphics RAM (and its own fan). A set of processors like this would present a cooling challenge even in a desktop tower. It's kind of insane to these into the confines of a laptop case, and the laptop makers know it. So, any decent gaming laptop already has a pretty robust cooling system onboard. It has to, to keep the thing from melting. The cooling systems on these laptops have to work really hard. You can hear them roaring, trying to keep up with rising temperatures inside the laptop.Now, the Alienware comes with a monitor utility called the Command Center that shows temperature and cooling fan speed for both the main processor and the graphics card. If you pay attention to the internal temperatures present in your gaming laptop you can observe and measure how hard the cooling system has to work.To make things easier for the cooling system you can run a laptop cooling pad to assist the onboard system. I've gone through maybe half a dozen of these cooling pads from different unknown makers trying to find one that actually inspires confidence, and this is the one that won, hands down.This cooling pad has a pair of three speed fans that you can control with a little panel on the front of the base. This serious fan capacity is designed to force-feed outside air into the laptop's air intakes, making it easier for the laptop's internal fans to do their job.The proof? Checking Alienware's Command Center utility before running this cooling pad, the fans were running typically at 70% speed and the CPU and GPU were running, typically, at around 65 to 70 degrees C. This means the internal cooling system was working, but was having to work pretty hard to keep temperatures under control. If the laptop's internal fans had a problem things could get way too hot really quickly. How hot is too hot? A processor temperature of 100 degrees C. will destroy your processor. Irretrievable internal damage. Cooked.With this cooling pad running at mid-speed, the laptop's own fan speed began to come down almost immediately. This means the laptop's own fan system wasn't having to work as hard to achieve the same degree of cooling. Lagging slightly behind fan speed, the temperatures of both the main processor and the graphics processor came down as well. After only a few minutes of running the cooling pad's fans at mid speed the laptop's own fan speed settled at about 50%, and the critical main processor and graphics processor each settled at about 49 or 50 degrees C.So, with this cooling pad, the laptop's own fans aren't working as hard, but still the system is running 15 or 20 degrees C. cooler than before. Put another way, without this pad, the laptop's own fans were working a lot harder just to keep the internal temperature from rising to dangerous levels. This pad delivered a significant reduction in both laptop fan speed and processor temperature. These are real-world positive results that I observed and measured on my own high performance gaming laptop. Running this cooling pad will likely extend the life of the system.I consider this cooling pad to be an essential accessory for any laptop running gaming-grade hardware. Of the many cooling pads I've tried, this is the one that ended my search for a cooling pad that actually works. This is the cooling pad you're looking for. This is the one to get.
