StarTech.com Expansion Slot Rear Exhaust Cooling Fan with LP4 Connector FANCASE (Black)

Have mounted this beside my PCIe NVME 1 TB SSD PCIe adapter add on unit. These drives tend to run hot. Immediately noticed the lower temperatures of my SSD after installing the PCI slot fan. Currently running about 20 degrees F cooler than before the fan was installed. Exceeded my expectations.

I had an old legacy graphics card running on my dual-boot Win 10 Pro 64 bit & Win XP Pro 32 bit. The card, and motherboard, started creeping into the high 70s, even with mild internet browsing or video watching - NO games or intensive power-hungry programs. While watching videos, or with more than two browser tabs open, the PC would crash. Installed two of these fans and the graphics card and motherboard are now operating around 40 - 50 degrees under load. The packaging was minimal, which is great for the environment, and the install was easy. I flipped the fans the opposite direction by inserting a narrow, flat-head screwdriver under the frame and using the screwdriver as I pry bar while simultaneously depressing the tabs which attach the frame to the fan body with a secondary screwdriver - you'll understand when you look at the units. Even with flipping the fans, install, including powering down and rebooting the PC, was less than ten minutes. Although there was a mild whirring sound, that soon faded. In fact, I no longer heard the fans after a couple hours; probably I had become inured, but it was a fairly quiet drone, nothing annoying. Purchased two SATA to LP4 adapters to power the units, an additional $14 total, with my entire outlay being less than $35. My system no longer crashes due to overheating components and my graphics card will easily last a few more years. Highly recommend the seller and these specific fans. Even if you've never cracked a PC case before, these fans are easy to install.

Bajo 4-5 grados Celsius la temperatura de la tarjeta grafica, en m caso esta se ajusto perfectamente debajo de esta, basicamente ayuda a recircular el aire de adentro del gabinete hacia afyera de este mismo. Es importante que se use asi como se indica, de esta manera evitas que entre polvo dentro del gabinte.

Bought this after searching for a while to get aCase Fan that can sit below your video card. Its the only one I could find to suck hot air straight out the back of the case. My only criticism is the power connector is old school - like me. Suggest it get switched to a more modern 12 v plug...otherwise it does a great job and my case runs much cooler now - even when playing hi res games.

Threw it on top of my GPU and it dropped my temps by 4C under load. Way more than I expected for how inexpensive it is. Moves more air than either of my other exhaust fans. Super easy to install. You'll need a molex to 3pin adapter if you want to hook it up to a fan controller. You can also easily take off the little metal mounting piece and put it back on upside down if you'd rather have the fan intake from the bottom. As to how loud it is, it isn't nearly as bad as other reviews led me to believe. It's definitely audible, but nowhere near the jet engine I was anticipating. It's a little thicker than I thought it would be, but I was still able to mount it in the PCI slot directly above my GPU. It would probably be even better if I could move the fan up a slot and have an empty PCI slot between it and the GPU, but my configuration doesn't allow for it. Would definitely recommend for any niche air cooling application.
