    Good quality

    posted by bucha2211 on 03/25/2012 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Simple fan for old processors. I bought 2 of these to use in an old computer that the system need to be running in Windows 98, so the processor is very old and still uses these small fans. It does the job very well and since the computer need to keep runnin...
    Cons:
    No cons at all. Maybe it could be cheaper, since it is really simple and small.

    I plugged it into an electrical current of 12V 5A and it is working very well for the purpose. I've always had problems with ADSL modems that they lost the signal or lagged by overheating, he resolved my problems.
    Cons:
    The wire it is very short, so I had to pull the molex and solder the wire running to it so that there would be dropping and I h...

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    -Verrrry cheap. -12v and brushed, so can be hooked directly to a 12v battery. -Seems to work, cools down surfaces.

    Cheap chipset/CPU fan

    posted by cwezk2 on 09/06/2008 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Cheap, working on 12V, great for old CPU's or chipset coolers. Or for your DYI projects, I'll probably use it to cool my overclocked Linksys router.
    Cons:
    No screws included, so don't lost screws from your old fan. One of my 2 fans have a little "tight" bearing, it's not ...

    Great fan

    posted by shusting on 06/14/2008 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Great airflow for the size (obviously you can't compare it to a 120mm fan) Build quality seems excellent Compact - bought it to fit in a tight corner of my case (not as a direct-screw in chipset fan)
    Cons:
    Cable could perhaps be a bit longer. It is ~20cm, JUST enough to reach where I needed it to - the SYS fan header is on the oppo...
