Review on 🔧 StarTech.com Socket 478 CPU Cooler Fan (FAN478) – Efficient Cooling with Heatsink & TX3 Connector, Black by John Munajj

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Bad experience with this product

I've been trying to install this product in my mobile phone for several days. Although both are standard and the holes and latches match it's impossible to do this, it's just awful that the plastic latches never fit the mobo holes properly. I managed to fit 3 of them but never made it to the 4th. The mechanism for this is terrible, the design from this point of view is terrible. The fan has a 3-pin connector...why? Why are you doing this with a 3 pin connector? Most mobile devices have 4-pin CPU fan headers. I had to buy a separate 3 pin to 4 pin adapter so I could connect it. Support never answers. Since I bought it abroad, it costs me the same as the return. I ended up having to order a new CPU cooler (screw one). Terrible experience for me with it and waste of time and money. Terrible product. Honestly. i feel robbed
