Review on πŸ’¨ 80mm x 80mm x 25mm 24V Brushless DC Cooling Fan for Optimal GDSTIME by Craig Pham

Perfect mod for QSC GX5 amplifier

I have a QSC GX5 amplifier that I use for my home stereo. It has a standard fan that runs when the amp is on and its decibel level at its lowest speed is over 35 decibels. The standard fan could be heard from all over the room, which was very annoying when the music was not playing or the volume was low. I've heard of many people modifying the amp with a lower volume, lower speed fan to keep noise down. I ordered a GDSTime fan to make this modification. Its decibel levels are in the 20-20 range and it was the same size as the 24V fan I pulled from the GX5. Connecting was easy. I simply cut off the connector from the GDSTime fan and connected it to the wires from the GX5. The fan volume has been drastically reduced so I can't hear it unless I'm near the amp. Remarkable improvement! It still cools the amp well, just at a much lower decibel level, which is amazing.

Pros
  • One year trial period
Cons
  • Useless features
