Computer Fan with AC Plug, 12V Axial Fan 110V 220V, 120V Muffin for PC Computer Cabinet Server Biltong Box Cabinet Receiver Xbox DVR Greenhouse, 2 Pack

Periodically, my PC would turn off because my GPU would overheat, even though I had a liquid CPU cooler with fans. This, of course caused endless amounts of frustration, not to mention the risk of damaging my GPU. I did have "cooling wizard" software that came with my motherboard, and it did kind of work. But it was slow, and kind of a hassle to use. You had to be constantly be checking the temp and making adjustments. After making sure my liquid cooler, and extra fans, were installed properly, I decided the best, and easiest solution would be to buy an external small desk fan and place it behind my PC. Then I discovered this fan, and am glad I did. You can attach it to your PC, but you power, and control it separately. That means your motherboard won't recognize it, but it doesn't matter, it works wonderfully. It keeps my CPU cool, even when multi-tasking, or playing games, It is not exactly quiet, when turned on full power, but it is not really noisy either. To me it is worth it for peace of mind.

I have tried several fans of this size, and this model is, without a doubt, the best. What impressed me the most is how quiet it is, even at medium speeds. Compared to others I've had that sound like a jet engine, this one is barely audible.The speed controller is fantastic. It gives you the power to adjust the airflow to exactly what you need, from a light breeze to powerful cooling. It's perfect for finding the ideal balance between performance and noise.It moves a great amount of air, and the build quality is solid. A 5-star purchase, fully recommended.

I wanted a quieter fan for my wall mounted rack cabinets and this worked for me. I installed one of these fans in each cabinet and wired another DC fan in parallel. The AC power is also controlled with a temperature relay so the fans only run when needed. When on, the fans don't need to run at full speed to vent the hot air, so I'm able to adjust the speed to make them quiet and effective.

DATE OF ORDER: 02/06/24DATE RECEIVED: 02/14/24DATE OF REVIEW: 03/10/24PERSONAL BUY/PRODUCT TO REVIEW: Personal BuyDELIVERY: UPS - Nicely packaged with additional items.QUALITY: On initial inspection, these appear to be decent industrial type variable speed fans for control cabinets. Hard plastic, roller bearings, metal fan guards. Package includes screws for mounting in thinner metals with about 1/4" to spare.INTENDED PURPOSE: A Make-shift heater box. A rheostat would be used to control the 900W heat strips output. The fans would be used to blow air across the heater strips and into a separate area.RECOMMENDATION: The fans are working for this purpose. They are mounted to the bottom side of a 10x10x6 metal NEMA 1 Junction Box. The holes were cut with a Jig Saw using a metal cutting blade. The heater strips are located within. The 2 fans are mounted tight in the bottom of the J-Box. They take up the space with about a 1/4" of room to spare.As long as these fans work long term, I will be happy with this product. They have a nice air output (probably similar to the small clip fans you might use in your vehicle or a hair dryer on low setting). There are 2 to a package in this order. They are easy to install. 4 screws each. They run on 120V with a variable controller. The fans are made in China. We'll have to see how long they last. They plug into any 120V source. The fans 'plug' into the variable speed controller box which converts 120V to 12V (similar to a laptop power source). The controller is a floating box. In other words, there is no way to hard mount this to a surface using the box. You would have to figure something out if you want to mount this in a permanent way. It is not weatherproof and not recommended for outdoor locations unless you find a way to protect it. As for noise, they are industrial fans. They are not exactly quiet. They are not too loud. But you can definitely hear them. If I were guessing (since I don't have a db meter), I would say that they are louder than a refrigerator. If you have a wood stove with a fan on the back running on high, that might also be a similar noise level. For the application I have intended, it is working as expected for now. If this product lasts long term, I would be willing to buy another one if needed. I will update in the future.

Works great as a cooling fan for freshly roasted coffee. At first, I set batches of roasted coffee on a colander with this fan underneath, but this blew coffee chaff everywhere. So I now put the coffee into its storage canister with the fan facedown on top. The air blows into the canister & cools the coffee quickly.

Awesome fan. So much more power than the hardwired or USB counterparts. Used this to cool my um773 mini PC. Went from 110°+ to 75° even when playing resource heavy games. It moves a ton of air so yes, it is louder than a fan that barely moves any air.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I bought this for my Dad’s brand new computer. His tower doesn’t have a lot of ventilation or fans. Reviews say it has a history of overheating and malfunctions occur. When we hot this, it was on the louder that I had hoped, but it was variable, and lots of wind, which is what we needed. Lots of ventilation, so overheating due to that would not be an issue!!After only a little over 1 month, is not working properly! It is not running at a regular speed. I turned it off at the on/off and then back on .Running very slow and not working all the time. This is HIGHLY disappointing. I picked it on a history of reviews, and recommendations. Now we’re out the money and have to replace it with another fan.I will contact the seller, and see if anything can be done.
