This article covers 45” LG UltraGear™ DQHD Gaming Monitor.
Overview
The IETS GT500 is a laptop cooling pad equipped with a massive 200mm fan. Capable of spinning up to 1800 RPM, it delivers strong airflow to keep gaming notebooks and creative workstations cool under heavy loads. The fan speed is adjustable in three steps, letting you balance cooling performance and noise depending on the situation. Constructed from a mix of aluminum and plastic, the pad supports laptops from 15.6 to 17.3 inches securely. Rubber feet on the bottom prevent slipping, and a USB pass-through port means you don't lose a port on your laptop. Power is supplied via a single USB-A cable, so no external adapter is needed.
Connectivity & Compatibility
Interface: USB-A (power only) Supported laptop sizes: 15.6" – 17.3" Fan control: 3-speed switch (Low / Mid / High) USB pass-through: 1x USB 2.0 port * Compatibility note: Works with most laptops; effectiveness may vary depending on the position of the laptop's exhaust vents.
Product Info
Released in 2021, the IETS GT500 sits in the upper-mid range of cooling pads. Its key differentiator is the large 200mm fan, which moves more air than typical 120mm or 140mm solutions while keeping noise reasonable. The price typically falls between ¥5,000 and ¥7,000, making it a strong value for gamers and power users. The pad comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Included in the box are a USB cable (approx. 60 cm) and a manual. It is available on Japan and the official IETS website.
Best Use Cases
Gaming laptop owners: If your laptop throttles during intense gaming sessions, the GT500's high airflow can significantly reduce internal temperatures. Note that laptops with bottom exhaust vents may see less benefit. Creative professionals: For video editing, 3D rendering, or other sustained workloads, the low-speed setting provides adequate cooling with minimal noise, helping you stay focused. * Ergonomic desk setup: The pad offers two tilt angles, improving typing posture. The USB pass-through is handy for connecting a mouse or headset without reaching around the laptop. This cooling pad is less suitable for users with ultraportable laptops under 13 inches (due to size mismatch) or those who require absolute silence (even the low setting produces some fan noise).
