Modders will love this cooler!

Let's get the elephant in the room, out of the way. The cooling advantages of this IETS GT500 are obvious. There are many reviews detailing temperature reduction. And they keep coming back. However, the fan is quite loud at many resonant frequencies over the entire adjustment range. However, if you're gaming, you're most likely wearing a headset. so the noise will be moot. But what about the time you go about your daily activities? or maybe work on the computer in the night rumble? Here's the thing: modders will love this cooler. It has everything you need and nothing more. It's very well built. Foam is a brilliant idea when doing the 'adjustment' steps to ensure your downward-firing speakers aren't blocked. Simple business. The inclusion of isolating rubber feet in both the front positions and the adjustable feet is a simple aspect that many other OEMs don't think about. Glory to IETS. The speed controller (potentiometer) has a wide range and can be adjusted from 0 to 4200 rpm, as precisely stated in the description. Dust filter? bam! It is here. Real power supply instead of relying on USB? bam again This unit has Overall I am very impressed with most of the design aspects of this cooler platform. At first I was amazed at the nature of the fan noise and ready to return the device. But now that I've used it all day, I see the potential. The platform is ripe for modifications. Modders will focus entirely on replacing the fan. Such an easy upgrade from a modder's perspective. Find a fan that is free of tines, commutation, and mechanical noise, and isolate it from the overall structure with the right rubber treatment. and this cooling pad can and will be taken to a whole new level. And the last thing I would like to add is that everyone has a different sensitivity to noise and the type of noise made by the mechanical fan of this cooler versus the noise of air movement is interdependent. . So before you repackage your device and ship it back to Revain, take the time to scroll through the dial and find your sensitivity level. For everyday use (no gaming) you will probably find a more than acceptable speed level. Ultimately, the IETS GT500 offers a number of notable advantages not only as a cooling platform but also as an ergonomic stand. Take a break from it! ; ) Note to IETS: Make some modifications to the fan assembly to make it quieter and/or smoother across the RPM range. and you will sell many, many more of them. No doubt. Pros: Excellent general build quality. Not dependent on USB for power. Brilliant use of memory foam. Four isolation points of rubber feet. Cons: Very loud fan motor noise. controlled and smoother sound 3 stars for durability because time will tell 4 stars for noise because it has resonances - but at least IETS is very open about what to expect. have modders in it. Here it is!* September 27 - Complete disassembly of the unit. Please note that this will void your warranty. I removed the fan assembly and insulated the assembly from the top half of the case with foam. God what a difference!
