Review on Coolerguys Programmable Thermal Controlled Cooling Kits For Cabinets, AV, And Components (Plastic, Single 80Mm) by Clay Ijaz

Revainrating 2 out of 5

NOT IMPRESSED ! on my review.

Sorry I have to go against the general 4-5 star opinion. I cannot believe the raves about how "cool" this unit made everyone's electronics? Really now, 46 CFM brought your cabinet temp down THAT MUCH! First time on Best Buy that the reviewers threw me a curveball. 2 stars for a well made well thought out unit but that it. Loses 3 stars on performance. Ran this unit on my computer cabinet with a midrange server and tested it a my Fluke 51ll Electronic thermometer type k thermocouple and pasted the Fluke and Coolerguys side by side for 3 hours. Cabinet dropped a total of 2.7 degrees from 87.7 to 85 sat steady state.Shipped back, I ship back very few things to Best Buy. 2 Globe 115v running at 105 CFM each that I will mount in a panel. and get 4 times the CFM output for the same price.

Pros
  • ‎Single 80mm
Cons
  • May not offer enough cooling power for high-end gaming PCs
