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

Well packed and suppliedwith mounting screws

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 installed the StarTech.com 90x25mm High Air Flow Dual Ball Bearing Computer Case Fan with TX3 Cooling Fan FAN9X25TX3H in a PowerSpec B351 desktop computer to replace a noisy OEM case fan. The StarTech comes with a standard three wire harness which was a 'plug 'n play' replacement for the OEM harness. It also comes with four self tapping screws which tap themselves securely into the plastic fan housing when mounting. No issues with unwieldy packaging, either - the fan shipped in a small box with only a single wire tie (to hold the screw package to the harness). Note that the fan can be mounted from either side (there are mounting holes in each side of the housing). In order to make certain that I installed the fan in the proper position (fan blowing air out rather than in) I checked the OEM housing to see which way the fan blades were positioned relative to the OEM housing that had the threads installed. (An alternative would have been to plug the StarTech fan in before mounting and power the computer up for a few seconds to check the air flow - or to Google which way the blades should be pointing; in my case it was expedient just to compare to the OEM fan). Driving the self tapping screws in was no chore, but one might want to use a #1 Philips screwdriver rather than one of the smaller "computer tool kit" screwdrivers; a larger handle gives one more torque to drive the screws home with less effort. The StarTech fan is noiseless in that I cannot hear it over the ambient noise in my 1 person office. I believe the dual bearing design helps in this regard over the OEM bushing design. Having put up with the "jet aircraft throttling up" noise coming out of the OEM fan for the last short period of time I'm quite appreciative of the new StarTech. I cannot comment on longevity (other than the 10 minutes it's been running) but overall it seems to be a reasonable product at a reasonable price and I wouldn't hesitate to order another StarTech fan if I need one in the future.

For how much I spent on this it more than does the job. A little loud, but that's to be expected considering the cost.

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.
