Review on 🌬️ CLOUDPLATE T9-N Rack Mount Fan Panel 3U for Intake Airflow, Cooling AV, Home Theater & Network 19” Racks by Julio Diaz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not exactly quiet, but very well made

Undoubtedly a very well made fan cover. The stock fans are good and can generate a lot of airflow, but can be a bit noisy, probably due to the dual ball-bearing fans. While ball bearing fans are really good for durability, they may not be ideal if your server rack is in your bedroom like mine. Of course, this wouldn't be a problem if installed in a server room, which is what the product appears to be intended for. Geeks do, but use JST XH 3-pin connectors instead. I couldn't find a ready made adapter but I found some JST XH connectors and built my own from scratch which worked great. The onboard controls work great and help keep my gear cool. The temperature sensor is a bit slow to report changes, but it doesn't really matter much. In general I am very happy with them. I'd really like to see standard fan headers in the next version. Not only to make modding easier, but also to make repairing easier in the future when the fan fails.

Pros
  • Very good price-performance ratio
Cons
  • Quality
