Great little gadget. April 27, 2008
This fan is very study and quiet. I wish they made a 110v AC unit. I'd buy several. Hard to believe it's only $10. The speed adjustment knob feels solid and turns very smoothly (infinite adjustment rather than clicks). I lowered the temp of my external hard drive by 20. I can turn up the speed if I want to cool it even more but 102 is OK for zero sound.
Cool Office Desktop Fan !!!! April 20, 2008
Ok, I was looking for a small quiet fan to move the stagnate cubical air around... And this was the perfect solution... Move's more than enough air around and when set to half power you can barely hear it. Even the price is right.
Any conventional fan that can knock 30 degrees off my hard drive is OK in my book. April 13, 2008
I put together an external disk and enclosure for use as a "Time Machine" back-up drive, for my Mac Pro.
As the external drive enclosure lacks a fan, the hard drive - at idle - ran at about 104F. Peak temps reached 112F+ when doing lengthy backups; and, this is with an ambient room temp of only about 76F. I imagine that it would get much worse when Chicago's hot August rolls around.
Placing this Thermaltake fan (approximately)two inches in front of the drive enclosure (the enclosure has an open grill, "cheese grader" like face, like the Mac Pro), has easily dropped the drive's temp to 92 degrees at idle; and this is with the fan set just slightly above it's lowest RPM. Out of curiosity, I left the fan at full RPM, for an hour or so, and it dropped the drive's temp to 85F.
Even though I don't have an immediate use for them, I may just pick up a few more for the future. Remember; aside from moisture, heat is an electronic device's worst enemy.
CONS (for the picky): The fan is *barely* audible, except at it's highest speeds. However, if the fan speed is set at it's lowest RPM, there is a very very slight high pitched whine that you can only hear if you're listening for it. Though, maybe that's just a defect unique to mine.
Cheers
Does the job for XBOX 360! April 7, 2008
I recently purchased 3 of these items for use on 2 Xbox 360 consoles. This external fan can be powered by Xbox USB and still work if you shutdown the console!! (As long as the main power supply is plugged in).
Since then none of the consoles crashed or faced any overheating issues.
Not to mention that this fan is surprisingly quiet!
Forget the intercooler and other relevant fan add-ins behind the console since they cause power supply problems and rings of doom.
I highly recommend to purchase this item, Thermaltalke is a guarantee!
Good Design, Solid Product April 4, 2008
This does about what you'd expect it to: plug in via USB, adjust speed by turning the knob, etc.. It was even designed with a retractable USB cord, so you don't have excess cable lying about!
I bought two of these to help cool a machine in a poorly ventilated cabinet, and they work well enough.
The worst part about the fans is that the shipper I bought from (through Amazon) shipped in an envelope where the plastic of the container was cracked in pieces by the time the fans arrived.
Overall, I'd recommend this purchase.
