 I like it. July 26, 2010
David G (MISSOURI CITY, TX, US)
I have a desk with an enclosed side for my PC tower. It has an opening in the back for airflow, but it was always hot in there. This little fan set up in the back to move the air is perfect and now it stsys much cooler. Since it's USB, when my computer is off (and it's not needed), the fan is off! Very quiet. I can't even tell it's there! It could use a little more umph in the movement of air, but for the size, it works okay.
 A reliable coolant for the PS3 July 11, 2010
1Dub79 (Fairburn, Ga.)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was looking for something, which could keep my PS3 cool, such as an intercooler. However, many got bad reviews. Somehow, I stumbled across this device, while searching. Due to the good reviews, I decided to try this fan, especially for the price. When I received it, I could not believe how small the fan actually was. This little fan does the job, though. Many reviewers talk about the fan's noise, and the fact it does not have an off switch. Well, I do not have a problem with that. In fact, I like the fact I do not have to manually turn the fan off. When I turn my PS3 on, the fan turns on. When I turn the game off, the fan goes off. I don't have to do anything. Isn't that what we all want? We want it to cool, while in operation of the device. The noise is not that bad in my opinion. In fact, my old PS3's fan made a lot more noise. It was hard to hear my television clearly. I can have this fan on the highest setting, and it is not noticeably loud.
Cooling places:
I saw various reviewers, who suggested various positions on where to place the fan around the PS3 for efficient cooling. At first, I placed the fan directly to the back of the PS3. Unfortunately, the hot air of the PS3 was clashing with the fan's cool air. That defeats the whole purpose. Well, I found other positions to place the fan around the PS3, which can cool the PS3 more efficiently. First, place fan closely to the front right side of the system, which has vents directly under the HDD. Therefore, the fan will blow cool air directly through the system. The other position is to place the fan closely to the right side of the PS3. Though the fan is aiming at the body of the PS3, I noticed how cool it made the whole system, as well.
This fan is definitely a good buy, especially for the price. I also believe this fan will prolong the life of my new PS3. Too bad, I could not say the same for my last PS3, which fell to the infamous YLOD, despite keeping it in an open space.
USB cooling fan. July 8, 2010
michael feygin (woodmere, ny United States)
I bought two of these. I'm shocked how well these little guys are working. I have them directed at the back of my Mac and they are keeping it nice and cool.
Great cooling for Mac Mini July 7, 2010
Odd Ball (Inland empire, CA)
Bought for my Mac Mini and does a great job of cooling. Have my mac mini on pedestal and this fan is plugged into one of the USB ports. Hottest core on CPU idles at 37 C and rarely goes above 45 C (before idled above 40 C and would go to 65 C or more). I used to use SMC fan control to try to get the same result but extra fan more successful. I adjusted potentiometer so fan is still pretty quiet. Added bonus is it also cools my external firewire hard drive. Bought a second one for my WHS serverHP EX490 1TB Mediasmart Home Server (Black) and also works pretty well (temperature does not go above 47 C).
 1 out of 2 is silent =) June 20, 2010
Andrew J. Holland (Kettering, OH United States)
Not much I can say that's new material here, but I am mostly happy with the 2 little fans I ordered. The only weird thing is they both generate different levels of noise. On the same knob setting one fan is virtually silent while the other is... not. I didn't expect whisper quiet or anything but at least a nice steady sound. This one is intermittent in its sound. Still, if you've got some music or a game going you don't even hear it. I was hopeful these would shut themselves off when I put my PC to sleep. They don't unless I power it down.
