It’s straightforward… and that is something very TECHNOLOGICAL in contrast to books that give you this mindf*ck*ng edge that makes you want an answer right away. this little fan is the FAN that CAN the CAN CAN!

I was looking at this and i was like…WOW this looks very promising.
It doesnt work…I Don’t know how to get it to work..but it just doesnt push any air threw. I thought when you stuck your hand up to the fan it would suck your hand in…But literally it sucks no air… it pushed ALOt of air out of the vent….but its cold air actually generated from the fan

This item is not a good purchase here, look on ebay or other web sites for a better price.

First, in a tower case the fans have to be located below the motherboard and power supply since that’s where the expansion slots are. Heat rises, and the intake on these fans isn’t strong enough to pull it back down and push it out. That means you can catch the heat from other expansion cards (like video cards), but the hottest parts of the computer get a very limited cooling effect.
If you have your tower in a desk enclosure it’s worse. The fan slots can’t be angled to blow the air out of the enclosure. That puts all the hot air around the back of case, which heats both the air back there and also heats up the wood or metal in back of the desk enclosure, so most of the heat gets pulled right back inside the case again. Using two (or more) of these helps a little by creating a better, stronger, air flow. Using them with a conventional add-on case and/or power supply fan (like the Nexus Real Silent Case fan) helps much more. Just don’t expect that adding only one of these by itself is going to make a whole lot of difference overall.
