Comment:
Nice design drops GPU temp a few degrees,ang gets some hot air out of the case.Looks superior and does its job. none

Good DesignGood Blue ledUse a Fan with Fan blades rather of the standard ''hamster wheel''Really Silent. Only Molex connector.Cable is kinda short.Over Unit is flimsy and does move a lot even when its installed in the case.Take about 5 minutes to spin to its maximum speed and cfm. Overall its a nice fan, it does push 22 cfm but it take time to start off up, also they employed a fan with unique blades rather of the ''hamster wheel'' so it doesn't develop into dust clogged following 2 weeks.

Affordable Low-cost, Says 21db could clearly hear it more than my case fans rated at 24db. CAUGHT ON FIRE!!! (see other thoughts) Turned on my Pc 1 morning, and smoke began pouring out of my case. The plastic on the wires burned/melted off. Worked good for a month, i didnt touch the inside of my Pc since i installed them, just randomly happened. (owned two, 1 burned, trashed both)

I truly purchased this card to cool my northbridge, and its doing a pretty great job. The Blue LED lights are good but not extremely bright.

looks good, gets hot air out of the case, (see other thoughts about airflow) I bought this with the aim to have my GPU fan blow into this one, moving that hot air out speedily. It lowered temps by roughly 4C. I will be acquiring a second to use for my CPU. Oh yea, not to pricey! not genuinely a con, but I would prefer it to stick out further in to the case, but that is because i would like my fans to line up, . There have been critiques about lack of airflow pushed by this. One more reviewer already stated this, but this can not be stated enough as it is a underlying principle in fan cooling theory; intake = outake! The amount of air your case lets in will be the similar as that that moves out. so bad intake will cause this fan to "not push substantially air" it will cause an airflow bottleneck and wear out your fans quicker, as they will chug harder to move the air.

I spent a long time attempting to find 2 PCI-based fans that I could install to assist cool my two 8800GTS SLI cards. I wanted to mount them so that they drew air across the back of the card and out the back of the case. No existing fan seemed to offer this. I ordered these mainly because I believed that they were reversed (it turns out the picture was misleading given that the case is transparent). Nevertheless, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could very Carefully separate the fan from the PCI slot mount and reverse it! Now I have specifically what I wanted AND two far more blue LEDs in my case. With these as exhaust and a side window fan as input, I've cut five-7 degrees off of my GPU temperatures. None so far. Really nice item for what I want it to do. Thermaltake when again gets my organization.

cools down temps.blue LED.uncomplicated installation. took it out of the package and it seemed flimsy to me, it was rather inexpensive which would clarify it but i bought it for my xfx 8800gt 640񳍜 card to aid cool the temps down on that baby. its pretty superior, its worth getting if you want to cool your high end card down a couple of degrees and its dirt affordable.

Blows air away from graphics cardsLights up blue not as strong of a fan as I thought it would be I wasn't expecting it to be a whirlwind but a little much more airflow would've been nice

Comment:
It moves hot air out of your laptop or computer. It doesn't make you toast.

Comment:
possibly low cost and has LED. The Fan's shape is diverse from the one in the picture. The actual thing doesn't have a groove on the side creating it impossible to fit on some situations in particular ones with clamp-on pci cardholders. The fan must be an intake rather than exhaust due to the reality that gpu fan doesn't basically blow the heat from heatsink, rather it sucks the air suitable in to the heasink and exits to the back end of the card. putting it underneath your graphics card only deprives it of air. It *should* supply air into the gpu fan instead.

Does what a fan is supposed to do..move air. Significantly superior high quality than comparable items provided on the egg. Cooled my Lian Li ITX case by 12C and processor temp dropped 8-9C. Blue lights are not extremely bright. Several mounting arrangements. Louder than the 21 decibel rating, but could be my case. I wish it was a 15-18 decibel fan. I was going for a silent rig but load temps of 58-60C produced me think twice.

Comment:
Silent, its affordable. does its job doesnt appear like its pushing 22 cfm its quiet and affordable for the cost it is defintiely worth it

Comment:
Inexpensive, looks excellent, one more place to evac some air. Low-cost construction, doesn't move a lot of CFM. You get precisely what you pay for. As long as you anticipate that, it's a superior fan.

Comment:
Quiet. Could be a little "longer". Bought this to sit in the slot next to my new "silent" graphics card. Assists draw air across it and out the back.

Comment:
At full speed (12V) i was able to drop my internal temperature by 6-8c but it produce a heavy noise more than 22db (My video card do around 35 db and it was more than my video card). I used a resistance to drop it to 6V but now it don't drop the temperature at all. The quality is not very good, it's a metal bracket with plastic and the plastic keep shaking. I guess if you don't mind the noise at all (in my opinion it's very loud) this is a good fan but if the noise matters, don't buy them.

looks good is really quiet workes great i was a littel wored at first on geting this item do to some of the feed back i had seen but im glad i did get it it really was what i neaded did the job great keep my pc at just the right temp and stoped it from geting that hot pocket right on the bottom

I have lost two GPUs to overheating. The case that I have doesn't have much space for fans. When I saw the expansion slot fan I knew that was the answer to my problem. The fan is quiet,glows a nice soft blue and is keeping my GPU cooler. I can't ask for more than that. I would purchase another couple od these items if needed.

Comment:
Good little fan for what it needs to do. Haven't had any breaks for complaints for the multiple i have bought and put in various systems.

Comment:
Cooling is important and ez to install

Comment:
Good fan, could do without the LED. i would like my power going to something more usefull. Anything but lights! Nice and quiet!

Comment:
installed below my silent 9400 gt, dropped temps 20 c.

Comment:
Fan works good, moves the air through the box nice, just could have a brighter lighting to it.

Comment:
These are cheaply priced, look good, and get the job done. I installed two of these in my 9600gt SLI setup, and they keep my templs below 60c under the load of Crysis Warhead running all max. Good bang for your buck.

Comment:
I bought two of these and had them for three months... one of the plastic blades cracked and came completely off and went flying through my case... it is very poorly made... do not buy this product.

Comment:
Fan worked great for a month helped to cool my small HP case well, Installed easily but bearings failed about 35 days after it was installed. You may have better luck but buyer beware.
