Coolerguys Dual USB Fan, High Cooling Capacity, 50Mm, High-Performance Efficiency, Dimension: [1.97 X 0.79 X 1.97 Inches], 5V, Ultra Quiet Cooling Blower Fan Review

I've been using these fans for years in my home theater setup. I bought them when I noticed my Xbox was generating enough heat that the top of my entertainment center was extremely warm from the Xbox, which was in the first cubby directly below it. I bought these and initially just set them up standing on either side of the Xbox, one pulling air in and the other pushing it out, creating a circulatory airflow. It worked great, and after a few weeks, I was satisfied enough with their performance…

There are already a lot of reviews that cover most everything, however for those who may be more of the hardware hacking variety, this review is for you. First, these two fans feature a very nice dual ball bearing design. Due to this and the RPM speed, they run silently (meaning as silent as fans go). A bonus feature is that you can mount the fans in either a vertical or horizontal position. Although as the specs show, these are not powerhouse designs and work best at removing ambient heat from

These two 60mm fans don't move a lot of air so they are best mounted right next to the heat producing component such as a disk drive or cpu heat sink. One could use them as a case fan if you only need a little airflow on something that isn't supposed to need a fan, but really does. I measured the RPM at 2000 in open space (no air resistance), even blocked the fan only goes up to around 2100 RPMs. This is well below the advertised spec of 2700 RPM +/- 10% so CFM is likely overstated.Together…

I find my modem and router get hot especially in warmer weather. I hang this product behind my Asus router w/modified metal paper clips holding the fans in place and utilize the USB 3.0 port for power. Really work well. Really cool! :) Great product. Quiet too. Just be sure when hanging on the plastic rear grate you do not leave too much of the metal clip that it could short the internal board.

I purchased two of these for use in my home theater center. I have a surround sound receiver and PC which fit into the main shelves in my TV stand which is closed in the back apart from a hole for cord/wires and is open on the front. These devices, especially my receiver, were running extremely hot. And the power source fan and motherboard heat sync fan in my PC were running constantly and becoming quite loud.I put a set of these fans in each shelf with my receiver and computer. Since…

I was having some heat issues with my HTPC and game consoles inside my media cabinets, so I bought a few of these fans to help with that. I drilled 3" holes (80mm) in the back of the cabinet, and then mounted these fans on the inside to aid in exhausting the hot air. They get the job done very well.Before installing these fans, I had to leave the door on the game console cabinet cracked while playing games or watching Blu-rays for long periods of time. I also had to leave the door on the…
