Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage IETS GT500 (5000 RPM) RGB Laptop Cooling Pad with 3-Port USB Hub

[@DoomscrollingHub]

More than 10 degrees Celsius with the GT500 5000RPM vs no cooling pad, about same fps, worth every penny in my opinion since it makes computer run a lot cooler which means more longevity.

[@XxViciousxX]

That's exactly why I use it AMD tends to do its own thing so I don't get any more performance. But I do want my laptop to work for as long as possible so I think this is a great buy.

[@imdeexpert5828]

I'm hearing the "coil whine" slight squeaky sound when it's at lower speeds is this normal??

[@XxViciousxX]

@@imdeexpert5828 Absolutely when I'm playing games before the fans kick on I can always hear a very small amount of coil whine. Nothing to worry about though. Most high end GPUs have coil whine. My 3090 Founders is the biggest offender It's got a very loud coil whine.

Bro did you ever do any tuning for the G15 ? I know you got a M18 now but I just wondering if there is anyway to get more power outta my g15 AA.

[@XxViciousxX]

I did not do any tuning to mine. Skii would be the one to talk to about that he's even got a whole video about it. All I did was put some decent RAM in and got a cooling pad. Then tried a bunch of different stuff trying to lower temps.

[@Snoopy-sd3nv]

Just got this recently. Random question, but what software are you using in the top left corner to monitor your temperatures while you were playing Forza? Also, could you recommend a good guide for under volting your CPU?

[@XxViciousxX]

That's MSI Afterburner with Riva statistics server. unfortunately, I'm not educated on undervolting these laptops. AMD made it a little annoying to do. On Intel and Nvidia laptops you can just undevolt the GPU through Afterburner and the Intel CPU through Intel extreme tuning utility. But I couldn't get Ryzn Master to work and Afterburner is only good for that data screen I have in the top left. But I know some people in my discord are much better at undervolting than I am. I went the max everything out give me the full power route. This does give me good performance but the temps are pretty dang high. But I have a link to my Discord in my description

Hey so quick Question! Do you Put the Laptop on Turbo or Perf mode in the Armoury Crate software while using the cooler OR You let it run on Silent Mode in the Armoury Crate and then Ramp Up the Cooling pad Fans and then Play the Games?? Plz answer the Question! It would help me a lot!!

[@XxViciousxX]

I let the laptop fans spin at 100% in manual mode. But also had this thing going at 100%. Figure my fans are rated for 7000RPM so there is no way this 5000RPM cooling pad should be able to over-spin them. Plus I got a little better temps doing that.

[@brother8127]

On maximum speed is there any risk to damage laptop fans?

[@XxViciousxX]

So far I have not had any issues and I have had this for over a year.

[@jpsadie1172]

does your laptop fan still runs? when plugged in to the cooler, i just notice when i don't use turbo mode my laptop and on power saving fan stops , when using this cooler though the temps are really low Laptop still BEEPS then goes BSOD lol i brought my laptop to a tech they said everything is good lol .

[@XxViciousxX]

I'm always on manual mode with 100% fans plus this cooling pad. So far my fans always run. However, if you use silent or performance mode the fans won't spin till it gets to its predetermined RPM. It should not make your laptop blue screen though that's a little odd.

how can a laptop with 280w power brick consume 180w for cpu and 144 w for gpu simultaneously

[@XxViciousxX]

@@tHeEmperor-bh4il It's just a bug for some reason it tries to combine GPU and CPU power into just the CPU power. There's no way it would be able to cool a 180w CPU. That would for sure require a massive air cooler or liquid cooling.

Is that CPU power almost 200W? How did you get that CPU power almost reaching 200W?

[@na0mi0]

is this usb powered i order one but got a plug that i can’t use in europe ?

[@XxViciousxX]

It has to be plugged in. Its fan is way too powerful to run off of USB. So it needs a wall plug. I'm assuming they gave you an American 2 prong 120v. I think they make adaptors for that though. I still think they should have given you the correct plug in the first place though.

Mostly just lower temps you might get 5FPS more or so.

[@cqllel5186]

It depends. If you cap your frame rate, you'll definitely gain lower temps and even better stability and frame time and an overall smoother experience Pushing your hardware to its absolute limit with uncapped frame rate and trying to keep it as cool as possible will make cooling pads look hardly effective lol. Laptops have cooling issues. It's best to leave achieving absolute max performance to desktops since hardware wear won't be as much of an issue. Desktop parts can be replaced for less than a whole gaming laptop I personally try not to work my GPU more than 90% and I try not to get higher than 75C CPU temps.

I am waiting for my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro to arrive, but I have many doubts about which laptop base to buy; the IETS GT500 runs at 5000 RPM and has 51.25 CFM, however I'm assuming its great efficiency is based on driving the flow in only one direction, but from what I've been reading the RPM indicates how fast it needs to rotate to reach the Indicated CFM, the latter would be the actual movement of air that the product has, but if we take another coolant base, for example Thermaltake Massive V20 (RPM‎: ‎800 R.P.M - ‎129,639 CFM) and seal the air outlets using the same sponge that the IETS brings, wouldn't it work better or is my logic wrong?

No you don't have to use those. I think those are for if you're standing up while using the laptop. But I have never used them so far.

Hi, do you use HDMI or usb c port display here?

[@XxViciousxX]

I always use the USB-C port as it's connected to the 6800m directly whenever I connect it to an external monitor or TV.

[@kurtbaculina5770]

@@XxViciousxX I see, thanks for replying bro. I also got this type of model. I wanna thank you also for that bios video you got, no wonder my rog AE goes hot like crazy when i updated my bios 315 (stock) to 318, should I go back to 315 instea of 316? Thanks again man. PS: Subscribed too!

[@XxViciousxX]

@@kurtbaculina5770 I stay on 316 as 318 takes 1000 RPM away from both GPU and CPU. I also wondered why my temps got higher with the newest BIOS. So I did some testing and found that to be the cause. So I went back to 316 for now. Also thank you for the Sub I appreciate it greatly!

[@kurtbaculina5770]

@@XxViciousxX 316 is better performance than 315 man?

[@XxViciousxX]

@@kurtbaculina5770 From my tests that's what it seems but it's not that different. As long as you're not on 318 you should be good.

Nice bong 👍

[@XxViciousxX]

Hell yeah.

[@Emolokz]

Just ordered this because of this thorough review, thanks a bunch.

[@XxViciousxX]

You're very welcome. Glad I helped you out.

[@Emolokz]

@@XxViciousxX most of them seemed to not have substantial results with the hot 12th generation chips, but I'm confident this one will be exactly what I'm looking for to cool the 12900H in my Asus ROG Strix Scar 17, as well as reduce any hotspot throttling on my 3070ti.

[@XxViciousxX]

@@Emolokz It did really help mine out that's for sure. Hopefully, it can tame those temps for you too.

[@Emolokz]

@@XxViciousxX yeah, seeing 9°C+ is substantial cooling. My laptop isn't slow by any means, but once I undervolt my gpu that should open up even more power potential to be allocated since it won't encounter any thermal throttling under load.

[@XxViciousxX]

@@Emolokz Oh yeah that's a powerful laptop. The CPU in yours is faster than what's in mine. My GPU is a little faster (as long as no Raytracing is involved) and as long as I use an external monitor. But this cooling pad works great kinda loud but the laptop is already loud while playing games anyway so that's kind of a moot point I guess.

[@Hiltsuk1]

Thanks for that review really good

[@XxViciousxX]

Thank you very much and you're very welcome.

@@XxViciousxX just a quick question did you have to cut the foam to make it fit 🧐 Going to be using a 17 inch laptop

[@itsaumie]

Great video. I wonder if you take take off the bottom panel of the laptop it would decrease the temperature more.

[@XxViciousxX]

It definitely would they made the air holes way to restrictive on the bottom of this laptop.

[@itsaumie]

@@XxViciousxX I'd love to see a video on that if you're up to it of course (:

[@saulsainz1806]

Loving the bong

[@alperentiryaki6657]

Could this cooler be harmful for laptop fans?

[@ilcarlino752]

Use your logic, it pushes the air sideways, it will never harm your fans

[@InExcelsis9]

Great review just bought this to pair with the 3080 Ti Razer Blade 15 I just pre-ordered today watched your review on the non RGB model about a month ago and was hoping someone would do a review of the RGB model so I'm glad you did cause you were extremely thorough in both reviews.

[@XxViciousxX]

Thank you and glad I helped you out. This thing should keep that laptop nice and cool.

[@imdeexpert5828]

I'm hearing the "coil whine" slight squeaky sound when it's at lower speeds is this normal??

[@ArmedTheAsians]

Got this with 2 iets GT202UB vacuum exhaust fans. Might be able to get it under 80 under load

[@XxViciousxX]

Let me know how it goes very curious.

PS5 > Failbox Series L

[@XxViciousxX]

This laptop is kinda better than both. This is a good example of why no one takes fanboys seriously.

[@fleshpistol]

Thank you homie. I have made a great purchase in a wim. Apparently I buy things on Amazon the same way I invest, with my gut. Seems to work out most the time. Haha. My MSI laptop be getting so hot I could cook my morning breakfast on it after staying up all night playing video games with hookers and blow. Can’t wait to cook my eggs on a pan instead of my laptop. Maybe I’ll game better getting a cooling pad.

[@XxViciousxX]

This thing is awesome so your gut was right on the money. I think there might be one new laptop cooling pad that's slightly better but it cost $107 and $80 is already kinda silly but figured screw it id rather have a cooler running laptop and if I got to pay $80 so be it.

[@fleshpistol]

@@XxViciousxX I have been using for a week or so now and let me tell you this thing is made like cheap chunk but I would pay $200 for how well this works and cools my laptop when gaming. I am mind blown and I will forever have one of these. Appreciate the review homie. I am running anywhere from 15-25 degrees cooler, that is insane. It's also quieter on full blast than the fans in my MSI laptop and now I am running them under 50% so for me this is actually less noise and to some that is probably crazy ha-ha. These MSI Laptops run hot when you get good ones but my gosh, I love them.

[@valentinoedits1963]

Is this the best cooling pad I can get for this laptop?

[@XxViciousxX]

I would say it's still the best unless they replaced a new version I don't know about.
