Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really do love this little fan. I recently filled up a small for factor Asus desktop with three 7200 rpm drives... I'd installed a case fan, but rather than hope I was pulling enough heat away from the drives, I wanted to ensure that I was pulling in colder air (via the side vent of my case) over the tops of my three drives... I've had these drives in open-air enclosures before, and when you're really using them they get insanely hot. I'd read complaints that the stock hard drive alone (one of the 7200 rpm Seagates) caused the front plastic in my computer model's front to become eerily hot. At this point, with good airflow over the top coming in and an air route pulling it away just as quickly, the front of the machine is cool to the touch, and my CPU temps have been improved quite a bit. Anyway, this fan was perfect for my project, and it's a slight level of insurance as far as the integrity of the hard drives. As mentioned in my cons, the bendable neck is not very taught, it wants to sag a bit. Also the entire top doeesn't swivel, only the fan inside a plastic ring... the ring is wide enough to block some substantial air from the fan, but you can also use the fan's outer fixed ring to redirect air into a specific location. It's not as brightly lit as some LED-laden parts, but on its own it casts a pretty tasteful ambient light depending on where it's aimed. Personally I prefer gaudy, over done lighting, but I'm kooky that way, but I do have sense enough to respect tasteful, non overbearing parts with lighting in them. It's there, but not overdone by a long shot. My only complaint is the lack of support the neck has (it has difficulty maintaining even moderately demanding contortions, but you'll figure out the nuance to it pretty quickly), and the swivel head just be just that... the fixed ring is a design error, but it's still a really great fan to have if you have that specific need, As long as it's not touching anything, the fan is very quiet, even when mounted at awkward angles... which reminds me, when you have this fan in your hand, you'll notice that you have a LOT of mounting options that you'd never thought of. Just be sure to design a good air flow pattern and this should really be a great assist. I got this at Best Buy in Hammond, LA... and for 15/16 bucks it's more than worth the money. On a completely lame "I like lights and blinky things in y computer" level, to which I am a follower, I'd like to add that this thing looks pretty boss when incorporated with other LED/light-up components. I'm the only person who sees my computer besides my wife, so I have no shame when it comes to overdoing it. This is the most understated piece of light in my machine, but it's function outweighs any LED dimness concerns I may have, Handy part, needs some revisions, looks neat, does exactly what it was made to do.

This is a good buy to cool you mob, ram, videocard, hard drive, or chipset. I have two of these in side my case. But You shouldnt buy this unless you have a side duct. It has 3 modes which are great. Buy if you need the cool but thats if you have a side duct or fan.

I bought this fan for my first PC. Works great for any cooling you can think of. You can use it for your hard drive, PCI/Video card, RAM, or CPU. The 3 speed option was great, it's quiet even on full. Also has these really cool blue LEDs. Only drawback is that it lacks a 3 to 4 pin adapter. Great fan, I reccomend it for any type of cooling.

i got this a few weeks ago to help cool down my northbridge and memory and improve general case air flow. the other reviews around the net were right! it's very easy to set up on one of the motherboard's screws - then bend it into position. you can also rotate the fan and set the speed as needed for noise/airflow ratio. medium speed doesnt make any more noise than the CPU cooler fan when the case is closed. helped cool down the NB and the hard drives. good buy!

Note: it does use a metal bracket, so use COMMON SENSE when mounting so you do not cause a short. I installed this fan to replace a dead chipset fan. Works great, MB reads the RPM. I did not see an airflow direction arrow, and had it backwards at first. But since it pivots on a flexible rod, I just flipped it and continued on. Easy to pinpoint the flow. If it had a nice insulation coat on bracket, it would be perfect (and one less negative review). Now my chipset is staying cool, and it has 4 blue led spotlights on it. Looks great in a transparent case.

This card was easy and quick to install (1-2 min), and its very quiet. It lowered my temperature from 40C to around 30ish. So it does its job. If you need a cheap fan I highly suggest this one.

This fan does what it says it will do. It cools sensative parts of your computer such as your RAM bridge. But it has another function which I expected but did not intend. It has a nasty habit of creating excessive buildup of dust on your ram slots. Cleaning once a month simply is not enough. In my expierence (in a relatively clean house) you will have to clean more often. But if cleaning is not a problem for you, then by all means take get this product. Only other complaint is that the power connection is not long enough to reach the drive bays of my tower for my Fan Control Unit. But that would be my fault I suppose.

Great product for 20 bucks. my ram was getting to hot with overclocking and this cooled it right down. took about 5 mins to install and been running great for 2 months. my ownly complaint is the blue leds are not very light but that might be because of my cold cathode lights.lol.

This fan solved my airflow problem in my case. I just got a pair of Radeon HD 4890's that impeded airflow enough where my temps rose 5 degrees C across the board. Using this fan and mounting it in the area to get airflow moving again helped immensely.

Put this in my case and aimed it at my motherboard chipset and my graphics card. It's got three fan settings which is nice. Another plus is it's really quiet. The led's on the fan are bright which I actually like. The blue lights match my other fans.

Got it home, opened it up and installed it. Tested it before putting the case cover back on my computer, LED lights came on and the fan turned for half a second then stopped. Thankfully BB switched it out for me, even though I didn't have my receipt, and the second one worked. It's a pretty good concept, and the design is slick in my opinion. However, I would have preferred a longer power cable, and possibly see the power cable hidden along the neck, as the current design of having the power cable so short, and coming off the side of the fan itself really limits placement options. Especially if, like me, the closest mounting option was near the center of the mobo and the only power source was several inches away by the CPU. Which brings up my next suggestion: It would be nice for this to have a piggy-backed power cable. As I mentioned, there was only one fan power source on my mobo, and I had to unplug the built-in case fan (a little 40mm job). I'd rather have both going, but now at least there's a fan cooling my CPU instead of just a heatsink (yay for 7 year old Dells!) Another good thing would be to throw in a 3 pin to 4 pin adapter.

I used this to replace the northbridge chipset fan on my computer because the intel DX58SO board comes with a horrible sounding fan. This fan is silent in comparison, and I can flex the fan right over the chipset for perfect airflow probably better than the tiny fan the board came with stock. This is easy to install, just remove a mobo screw, slip the base of the fan under and screw the mobo screw back in. Video attached to this review is over 2 years ago when I bought this fan, so don't make fun of the now out of date components, things have changed a lot.

I have a watercooled system and recently had to take off the memory coolers that had started leaking. The replacement coolers would have been $35 each and so I decided to try this $15 fix. Pros: -This fan is great because it had 3 settings -Easy to install -Fan can rotate Cons: -The adjustable of it to stay stiff seemed limp to say the least, I had to use something else to hold it in place and I would have preferred the "stem" be more stiff. -The fan seemed to easily pop out of it's rotation socket with little force, works fine though as long as you aren't touching it on a regular basis.

When the bearings in my video card fan went out, I removed it and the heatsink cover and pointed this puppy right over the top of it. Now, not only is the excessive noise gone, I can over-clock the card with no problem. Caveat: Make sure you have a plug on the motherboard to power it.

I bought this fan to spot cool my motherboard chipset. The instructions say to mount the unit on the motherboard mount holes which I did but the mount area is metal and if that touches any part on the motherboard (transistors) it will short circuit the board, well atleast mine did.

I wntd som red leds on dis shiznit blue sucks amg amg amg
