Redragon GCP500 Ivy RGB 5-Fan Laptop Cooling Pad – Fits 12″–17.3″ Laptops, Adjustable Height, 2× USB Ports, RGB Lighting & Fan Speed Control

The Redragon GCP500 Ivy RGB Laptop Cooling Pad is a premium cooling solution for gamers, content creators, and professionals using mid- to large-size laptops (12"–17.3"). Designed to enhance thermal performance and comfort, it features a 5-fan layout, adjustable stand angles, RGB effects, and built-in USB pass-through ports.

Cooling Performance & Fan Layout

At its core, the GCP500 employs a mixed-size fan array:

• One large central 140 × 140 × 12 mm fan for powerful airflow

• Four 60 × 60 × 12 mm auxiliary fans around the sides to support edge and underside cooling 

The fans operate at about 3,800 RPM (±10 %) and generate a relatively low noise profile (around 19 dBA) under standard settings . The cooler is rated with a long life expectancy (~45,000 hours) 

Airflow is directed upward through the pad into the underside vents of the laptop, helping reduce thermal throttling and improving comfort during use. The mixed fan sizes help ensure airflow coverage even across larger laptop bases.

Build, Ergonomics & Adjustability

The pad has a sturdy metal/aluminum top surface and ABS legs for durability and stability.  It includes an adjustable tilt/height mechanism, letting users raise the laptop to comfortable viewing angles or typing positions 

A phone stand is sometimes included by variant listings, improving desk organization in some markets 

The overall footprint (~360 × 250 × 55 mm) is relatively compact considering its capabilities 

Connectivity & Extras

Power is supplied via USB. The GCP500 includes 2 additional USB ports for connecting peripherals (keyboard, mouse, etc.), effectively acting as a hub 

Users can control fan speed via an onboard dial and toggle RGB lighting with a dedicated button  The RGB lighting adds aesthetic flair, useful for gaming setups or accenting desk builds.

Use Cases & Benefits

• Prevent laptop overheating during prolonged use (gaming, rendering, streaming)

• Improve comfort by raising laptops at ergonomic angles

• Maintain peripheral access with USB pass-through

• Adds visual appeal via RGB lighting

Practical Considerations

• Because it uses multiple smaller fans plus a large fan, the power draw is moderate. The USB power must be reliable.

• The tilt/angle may slightly affect laptop stability on steeper angles—ensure rubber grips or stops are used.

• Some large laptop models may still have edges extending beyond the cooler surface—check fit for very large 17"+ systems.
