“Great little fan does the job.”

“Just propped it on top of my RPI4 and it reduced CPU temp from 69 degC down to 43 degC. The fan is virtually silent. You'd have to be in a very quiet environment to hear it.”

“Easy to fit, works well. Decent little fan. It's quite noisy is the only minor issue”

“So i got this because my Kodi box has started overheating in the warmer weather while watching some higher quality videos. I'm sure the fan is very effective but i had a couple of issues. 1) I am running a Pi 3. I had to modify the case I have it in. Took a bit of work with a Dremel and it is still a bit of a tight fit but not a big deal. Just be aware that this may not be a simple plug and play job depending on your case/setup. 2) It's loud. Obviously and frustratingly loud. So loud it would drown out anything i tried to watch while running it, which kindof defeats the purpose. I've seen some accounts of hooking it up to a 3 volt pin but you would have to separate the pins and some additional technical work which i just don't have the time for. Especially since i'm not convinced it would make enough of a difference. In summary, if you are just a little worried that your pi might overheat or trying to squeeze a little extra performance out of it before it starts throttling, buy a heat sink and maybe look at ventilating you case a bit better. The only real use for this i could see is if you are using this for bitcoin mining or some other 24/7 high intensity application. I'm sure it's a very effective fan, but not right for the application i had in mind.”

“Quite noisy. The problem is thickness, it can barely fit inside a case and you can use a heat sink under it.”

“Works well on a Pi but I would run it on a 3V line as on 5V it sounds like it could take off at any minute..”
