I ordered a couple of these 200x60mm fans off Amazon along with a variable AC voltage controller to adjust the speed for my PC intake fans. 425cfm x 2 😅
I 've had 2 of these fans for several years now. I use them for for moving air in my grow room, I have them permantly mounted to a parabolic hood pulling the air through the vent holes. They are about 6''' away from a 600w HID lamp, and remain on for months at a time. They have worked flawlessly just plugged into a simple usb phone charger plug. When I bought them there was mention of a higher powered dedicated psu for them, which was supposed to increase the output, but I could not find it on sale here in the UK. I also have a single one that directs the air flow at 90 deg, i.e. one side of the fan is enclosed and the air is directed through a side vent. I've been well pleased with them, and often thought of getting more for use in computers.
I have similar fans for my gaming PC I hid in a cabinet. I had cut holes out for it to breath but the grates I put over the openings to keep the cats out was just enough that the PC fans couldn't move enough air. The PC was having to shut down from overheating without doing anything. I got 2 pairs of these, one for intake air and one for exhaust air and it dropped the tempurature by 20 degrees C.
how they held up so far? any noise or issue you encounter ? looking to get some for my router and modem? and i'm looking to have them underneath but not sure which side i should be placing it on? logo face down or logo facing up? thanks again for the review
Working great. I meant to only turn them on when gaming or video editing, but, I often leave them on all the time. Usually always on low, and sometimes on medium. Very minimal noise on low, can't really hear them. On medium they kind of just sound the same as my case fans. On high I can slightly hear them. They blow towards the label.
Put the fan on the router face up.Logo face up and ensure good airflow from the bottom as well. Like on a solid surface as dust-free as possible. So you will draw cooler air through the components from the bottom. Medium speed seems to work unless you're really rocking hot router.
thinking of getting fans like those. My use would be for a projector I'm using and I would have the fans over the vent to improve the cooling. Stupid question but if I did that where do I place the fans? The projector has 2 vents one for inlet and the other for outlet and the outlet has the heat come out. Also which direction to point the fans as I'm not tech savy when it comes to this.
Yup, still have them on top of my case, and I use them probably 50% of the time. I often turn them on when I am gaming or video editing. I usually set to medium, but sometimes high or low. Sometimes I forget to turn them off, so they run a few days without me even noticing. But yes, working great still.
@tslonaker4609 Can be powered from PC UBS, so probably would work. And just like on PC, depends if the port is made to shut off when power is off. Some are, some aren't. Does a cell phone or controller charge when the Xbox is off? Is so, the poet says on.
Could it be that the ziptie and one piece thingy is just for routing the cords where you want them to be and ziptie them in place, like along your wall or something..?
That sounds smart! The little square sticky thing does have spaces for the zip tie to fit through. So I guess yeah, you could use them to stick the square somewhere behind an entertainment cabinet or something, and have the cords zip tied to it.
I did try to see if the piece that controls the fans happened to magnetically attach to the little sticky square. It did not. But, I guess you could also use it for that. Although the sliding selector may be hindered with a zip tie around it.
So yes, I could do this on my computer. I have USB ports that power when the desktop is off, and also USB ports that turn off when the computer is off. So, instead of plugging into the wall, I could plug into a USB port that goes off when the PC is off.
@earthling1984 I only owm 2 gaming consoles, unfortunately, so I have no idea how a USB port would work with consoles lol. I'm not knowledgeable on these things.

Awesomely done. Even a few degrees lower does help.
Thanks Zak. Yeah, I'm happy with it. My desktop is stuck in the corner so this helps keep air moving in and out the case.
What rpm are they?

I used these fans to make a homemade poultry egg incubator. Well, they were two of the parts.
I just got a usb fan and i don’t know where to put it or plug it in into my pc

Have one fan push into the inlet, and one fan suck / pull out of the outlet.
Are these things still kicking? Looking to do the same as you did here.

Can they be powered by plugging them into the USB port on an Xbox? And will they shut off & on automatically as you turn the xbox off/on?

Or for the piece that controls the fans!
yeah i would guess so too. If they did provide it for routing the cords it seems one is just not enough though :D@@earthling1984
Is there a way to have it turn off and in with a gaming console instead of having to manually turn them on?
Only way I can think of is if you had a USB port to power them that turned off when the device was off, and on when the device was on.
So yes, I could do this on my computer. I have USB ports that power when the desktop is off, and also USB ports that turn off when the computer is off. So, instead of plugging into the wall, I could plug into a USB port that goes off when the PC is off.

@@tacoma81 Maybe use a smart plug. So you can talk and say "Smart Plug" turn off Console. Or, click a button on your phone.
@@earthling1984 ok thank you
