excellent air mover for this size. Used for cooling entertainment center electronic components, including 46" Sony Bravia TV, Yamaha YSP4000 surround sound bar, lighting, and dvd player. I had to also purchase an adapter to make the unit run on 120V ac power (regular outlet) but it works as described. There are 2 negatives to consider if purchasing for AV equipment: 1) The humming of the fan blades is loud when listening to the TV at any average volume level. Though I searched for and found only this unit is quieter than most - wow, what do the other fans sound like?! 2) The temperature gage is useless since the unit is made to turn on around 70 degrees. It didn't occur to me until after I installed it that I keep the room temperature anywhere from 70-74F in the winter, and 78-82F in the summer!

Do not buy this fan. That's the best advice I can give you. - It's noisy and the speed cannot be changed - The screws supplied do not 'in any way' fit - Onboard sensor connector does not work. I used this for 24 hours before the noise drove me to disconnect it.

I had the fan in place, the bios read its speed correctly, yet it never changed its speed. Its normal speed was so low that I couldn't even tell which way the air was flowing from it. I turned the fan around and it created the same airflow out the back of the computer. If you have a duo core processor, don't get this piece of sh**. An overclocked duo core @ 3.7ghz couldn't even get the fan to increase its speed. Avoid this fan like the plague
