Moves enough air.

This fan was needed to replace one in a friend's small thermoelectric refrigerator. The original fan was discarded due to age and neglect shot. When I first looked at the radiator, the intake grille was covered with dust and lint and the fan was connected to the same. The fan barely worked and was very noisy. I think the bearing is defective since that Cleaning the fan didn't help. So I decided to replace the fan before it failed and burned out the thermoelectric element. Found this fan at a very reasonable price and the dimensions are perfect. A small cut, some solder and heat shrink tubing, around the feet cover and it worked silently. Good buy.

Pros

Outer frame dimensions: 80mm (L) x 80mm (W) x 20mm (H) / Fan size in inches: 3.15" (L) x 3.15" (W) x 0.79" ( H) ); Center-to-center distance between mounting holes is 71.5mm/2.81".
