Review on πŸŒ€ Scythe Mini Kaze 2 Silent 40mm Fan, 3500RPM, Single Pack by Ryan Brunson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Taped over TRX40 chipset fan cover, -4C

I have an Asus Strix TRX40-E gaming motherboard with hot chipset, it went from 76C to 73C after changing the thermal paste but it was still too very close to the "critical" temperature of 75Β°C that Asus uses to spin the chipset fan to 100%. Use 3M double-sided tape to "mount" this fan over the chipset fan shroud (with the chipset fan still running normally) and then some tape on the sides to seal airflow. 73Β°C -> 69Β°C. Good. It is set at 70% speed with constant current control. Heard (if you try) 100%, but otherwise silence. Does the job!

Pros
  • Computer Components
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
