I got me one them IETS GT500 and man that thing works like a champ on my OrginPC/Clevo x170km-g with a Desktop i7 11700K and a Laptop RTX 3080 and man it really brough down the idle temps by a good amount both the CPU and GPU the GPU is at a temp to where the fan doesn't even have to run. I am to the point where my CPU went from Iding in the low 50s to the high 30s to low 40s C. And my GPU is Idling at 33C from the 40s C. You can't beat that. IETS got it right by running the cooler from Wall power instead of USB on top of their sealed system that they have.
Thanks for cutting off the vid with the GT500 before showing us the CB score. I feel like I wasted 20 minutes of my life to that point as that was what I was waiting for the most, to see a real all core stress test score with what I was hoping would be the best cooler. You can be SO weird sometimes when you do stuff like that so nonchalantly. You showed us the CB for the cheap coolers but not the good one. MAKES SENSE BRO!
17,859. I wouldn’t focus on the CB numbers as much as the wattage and average clock speeds Editor is the one that cut it off earlier. I should have noticed though and had him fix it.
@@GizmoSlipTech Actually, for users like me who use their laptop for large scale music production as well as gaming, cinebench is THE most accurate test of how good the multi thread performance for a DAW will be, so for me it's very important. Thanks for replying. Almost 18K for an 8 core processor is very very high.
@@teddym2808Cinebench for music production? Lol ok well what he said is 100% true. Lower temps means potentially higher clock speed which is directly correlated to more performance.
BTW all that is just about raw power, your PC still needs low DPC latency to perform truly well at high loads on Windows. i.e. you need a DPC latency of below 200 microseconds to truly make use of all the threads especially if your audio interface is set at under 512 buffer. I have spent thousands of real hours benchmarking various PCs and Macs in various DAWs, pushing them to the extreme. I also designed the Logic multitrack cpu test although that is very outdated now.@@Crittek
Hi! Something to add, the IETS GT300 do just fine as well for smaller laptops around 14-16 inches. It aint as robust as the IETS GT500 but it gets the job done. It has 3 modes and the middle mode provides the perfect performance to sound.
GT600 is available in taobao store and they support to ship worldwide. It further improved the cooling performance and noise issue comparing to GT500. The only problem is the website is in Chinese and the adapter that came with my pad is using 220V 48W. You'll need to find your replacement for the adapter if your country only supports 110V.
@@jasonbourne3541 That's not true about the noise, old one reach around 80 db(A) while new one only hits about 65 db(A). Including the dead spot on the very center right above the turbo fan, new GT600 does make noticeable improvement on cooling the high end gaming laptop which covers the dead spot comparing to old model. (they still need more improvement on that though)
@@jeffchen7140 maybe it depends on which laptop Lenovo Legion Pro 7i with GT500 Vs GT600 only saw a 3-5° difference in temps Noise were almost the same so advice given was to buy the cheaper option Could be different for laptops with heatpipes setup only and no Vapor Chamber
@@jasonbourne3541 Cooling performance may vary but noise level is fixed. Most gaming laptops' noise level is aroud 60-65 db(A) under stress, and GT600 is costing $45 USD on Taobao store. (Cheaper from time to time because of on sale events and other stuffs) But currently I have a much better cooling pad from a small private brand that's also on taobao, I would choose neither GT500/GT600.
What if you don't game and just do a lot of downloading videos and video editing softwares do you still think it's necessary to have meanwhile the laptops get super hot while doing those things I just mentioned
@deraw94 excessive heat will always reduce life of laptop. With any electronic device, you want to keep it cool. The laptop cooling pad is simply a wise investment if your pc starts running hot. It also helps reduce the strain on the laptops internal fans.
Just make sure when you purchase one, it's not the cheapest one available. Put the research in and make sure it's long lasting and not going to break on you in 6 months. $30.00 and up is a good starting point. The fans with rgb lighting make it easy to identify if a fan stopped working. Always get multiple fan cooling pads. The primary purpose is to create more cooling so laptop last longer with less glitches. Happy shopping.
Yep can vouch for the gt500 though i got the s2 variant (w/o hub and 4600rpm vs 5000rpm on the v2) the diff in perf is very low and negligible at best! I also managed to snag it for half the price!!!! sooo very happy with it rn :)
you can simply remove the upper grilles from any of these stands and the result will be much better since the grilles greatly reduce the airflow. or cut the grate just above the fans
If it's not a sealed vacuum pad, it's not gonna be efficient at all I'm waiting for my GT500 V1. As someone who has a Klim Cool +, giant window fans blowing all summer night, and a mini AC blowing cold air into my current laptop pad, the GT500 won't be an issue for me lol
thanks a lot for this vid man. im flying across the country and cant move my pc with me so i'm switching to laptop soon. definitely want it running cool
Trying to find a cooling pad for the blade 18 I bought was a bit of a search. Most coolers don't support large laptops. I ended up with the AICHESON AA2 gaming pc cooling pad. I'm averaging about 8 degrees cooler. Highly recommend it. After watching your video I'd knock it a bit for lacking a dust filter.
I also have the Legion 7i 4090, and just got the same GT500. Do you just take out the inner foam, leaving the outer foam ring and bring the 7i pro as forward as possible so that the exhaust vents on the bottom rear of the 7i pro aren't blocked? is that the general idea when placing the 7i pro on this puppy?
@@williamtrimbath1013that’s what I do, just the outer layer of foam, but the keyboard gets uncomfortable hot when using the GT500. You got the same problem?
In my HP laptop intake( the place where it heats the most) is in the left top corner. So cooling pads with 1 central fan will never work. It needs a setup of 5-6 fans where 1 fan is EXACTLY below the intake. Only then it starts to help. Also lifting laptop ( preliminary on a thick book) will help reduce heat by a LOT. So sometimes its just good to place it on a stand ( thats not blocking the intake) and your done!
Hi there, do you have any idea about negative impact of using very high powered laptop coolers on the inbuilt fans?..Due to the huge influx of air into the laptop intake, won't it externally drive the fans into a very high rpm state, above it's capacity?..would love to hear your thoughts..
They will only spin as fast as they are able to regardless, all it really is doing is cooling the air going into the laptops internal fans a little more then it would have bin. It's very important to note laptops are different and have fans in different places and flowing the air in and out differently from others. So not all cooling pads will be designed in a way that would be effective but instead possibly counterproductive. I'm still undecided if which ones I should try with my laptop
No creo que los ventiladores internos giren con estas bases enfriadoras, es mas, si los ventiladores internos estan quietos sale muy poco aire comparado a cuando estan funcionando, el ventilador va a recibir el flujo de aire por todos lados y no va a girar, lo he notado con la base klim mistral, ten en cuenta que el aire va a buscar una salida mas fácil que el sistema de ventilación, teclado, puertos, etc
@@portman8909 wrong. -20c on the gpu, -10c on the cpu, it's significantly quieter than the laptop itself, and my laptop rarely has to ramp its own fans up to full blast. Only in late game civ 6 when the cpu is being hammered. I can play bg3, d4, gta online for hours and its stays flat 66c gpu 80c cpu. 4090, 13900h.
gt500 - or any other for that matter would be of help? I have an ASUS Duo 16 coming in this week and 7945HX and the Nvidia 4080 - 64GB 4800 RAM and a well regarded 2 TB SSD. As the bulk of the intake is below the secondary screen, I'm wondering if there is any cooler that would work for it. I have read (perhaps not correctly?) that little air comes in thru the bottom vents. Mind you, I will do very little gaming with it - mostly highly utilizing those big 16 Performance cores so I am mostly interested in cooling that. Perhaps tweaks using Armory Crate is my best bet?
Finding the right power limit for the CPU is the best way to keep the CPU at the right temp vs performance. Undervolting the CPU at the same time should help too. Maybe G-Helper can help undervolt this guy.
You can also lower the power limits and undervolt/overclock the cpu/gpu to reduce temps. Check my recent videos for ideas, but going to do an optimization guide for the Legion Pro 7i tomorrow
I don’t think you understand the concept of “Thermal Throttling”. Just because you hit 100 degrees doesn’t mean your automatically thermal throttling. Thermal throttle happens when your cpu hits TJ Max then your clocks will drop substantially (almost in half) to prevent the processor from cooking itself.
@@Timo-EpisMost modern CPU’s TJ Max is at minimum 105c. Some even higher up to 115c. Depends on what the manufacturer sets their bios to. My CPU hits 100 degrees all day long and I don’t have any problems.
i dont get those test: Most laptops run around 75-90 so they do just fine without that cooler. so another big feature is: Can the cooler make my laptop so cool, the laptop fans dont go crazy loud...but thats no help when the cooler itself is twice as loud. And i get that theres different uses etc. but WHY is that not even tested at all....25% performance 50% performance how loud is it with those stats...etc.
Hey I had a question since we are talking about cooling the cooling system in zephyrus g16/m16 fires hot air directly on the display of the laptop does this damage the display in the long run? Please give me your valuable feed back. I would deeply appreciate that
his laptop is using significantly stronger hardware so he's getting significant heat, and that thermal throttling keeps him from ever reaching his peak performance. with the cooler he gets way more thermal headway and is able to fall well below the thermal throttle limit, which is huge in and of itself. Say the max performance requires a 10c drop, but would still just be 1c from thermal throttle limit since the hardware will now power up more, any additional cooling below that will not show as a 20c increase. Think of it like this. if you are 95c, if you drop 10c but it pushes up to the limit now with new power, it will go to 95c again. But if you are getting 20c it would essentially be 85c-90c because of the extra room you pushed, but now have much safer and reasonable temps which prevent massive framedips and stuttering.
Hi Gizmo, Does Gt500 work with Alienware? Their side vent is a little bit below, so im afraid when u put it on the foam grill when a laptop sink in the foam, and it will block the air vent from blowing out.
Wondering how this works on office/video watching workloads, would the IETS GT500 help reduce the occasional fan ramp-up on the laptop and replace it with a constant, less noisy fan, is the IETS GT500 audible at, let say, 1500 RPM?
I would not recommend the iets gt500 if you are wanting quiet fan noise. Using the quiet mode of most modern laptops is much quieter. The first basic laptop fan I tried out was also pretty quiet, but not the GT500
Old hardware ran cooler. New cpu will push the 100c limit for maximum perf. And its perfectly safe to run it 100c all day according to the engineers who made them. You get more perf. Which is great.
Hey, I've been thinking of getting that same model of Lenovo, but with a 4070 and an Intel i9-13900HX. Do you think there will be a difference in the temps with this processor, I've heard you say that Intel should have lower temps if I'm not mistaken. Also, I did notice that there is a VRAM issue with the QHD screens at full res, but I haven't seen an option to get the same config with FHD in my country. Is there going to be a difference in the screen quality between this laptop's QHD screen downscaled to 1200p vs a native FHD 1200p? I haven't seen a straightforward answer to this, as most people seem to be talking about the quality because of the screen size that usually comes with QHD.
Many of the RTX 4050/4060/4070 laptops can be so quiet and game so well, because the GPU only need 85-105W of TDP to perform really well. The Acer Predator Neo 16/Strix G16/Omen 16 were all very quiet in their balanced/performance profiles.
The biggest issue with most of these stupid "coolers" is that they try and power the devices with USB 5V. You need 12 volts if you want to really move air with a cheap-o non-pwm fan. At least the IETS GT500 variants have a 12v external power supply.
I am conflicted about which one to get. I see that GT500 has higher RPM than GT600. I know that its not all about RPM of the fans. But, is the cooling performance better?
@@mcgreymellobernaliling6943 Check my video. It's better on the GT600/626 in term of noise level and even with lower RPM, it matches the GT500 max speed in term of cooling.
with todays better fans or cooling systems & hotter processors used in laptops, won''t those best vacuum coolers - with laptop stand in place to let air flow going from bottom vents - works better in pulling heat from internal to out better than traditional coolers which push cold air into enclosed chassis as we have much better & capable cooling systems in laptops compared to past?
Man this video really saved me a few hours of research. My laptop started getting hot in the high 80s and I have two house fans blowing on it and got it down to the 60s while gaming but clearly I want to downsize the table and two fans next to my desk. I have a HP omen 015 with the R7 and the nividia 1660ti 6gb GPU and I upgraded to 16gb ram I think I will do 32 gb in the future but solve the heat problem first. Idk if maybe the fans just need to be replaced internally that they may have gone bad but they are spinning and flowing air it's just hot air coming out. Could my extra 3.0 USB monitor be adding the extra heat possibly. I have it set up like a desktop essentially.
80 degrees while gaming in a laptop isn’t terrible. You’re supposed to feel hot air coming out that’s heat not being trapped inside the laptop. But yes cleaning fans and changing thermal paste (correctly) will bring temps down. Laptops will always run hotter in nature due to space and cooling restraints. As long as your not actually thermal throttling which at 80 degrees I imagine your not, then you are fine.
Thank you so much for a good video, made me buy one! But now I seem to get a massively warm keyboard when using the IETS V1 (on max setting). On my Legion 7i 4080. Why?
I have an Alienware M18 R1 and was thinking of this or the newer GT600 version (made for 18" laptops with even bigger fan)...do you this this is a good choice for the M18? Didn't know if the inverted MB setup of the M18 would negate this level of fan. Thx
Guys I have legion 7 I pro rtx 4080 and it’s been struggling so much I never have been happy with its performance like I doesn’t go past 90watts and it struggles with cooling,do I need a cooling pad for its max performance ?
