Reddit mentions of AC Infinity MULTIFAN S3, Quiet 120mm USB Fan for Receiver DVR Playstation Xbox Computer Cabinet Cooling

If it's a big issue. Get a couple PC USB fans. Put them behind the Xbox to push the hot air out of that space.

AC Infinity MULTIFAN S3,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G05A2MU?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

May not be the best or cheapest but you can Daisy chain em or just use the remaining USB port to power other things

Have you already bought the fans? If not I’d say go with the AC Infinity MULTIFAN S3, Quiet 120mm USB Fan for Receiver DVR Playstation Xbox Computer Cabinet Cooling ones by ac infinity. They have a controller in line and it’s plug and play, no secondary power sources to power the controller to go back to the fan.

I originally got this fan controller with the two recommended buys which are the 4 pack of fans and a molex power supply.

This will let you have 4 fans all controllable. So you can always have two buckets side by side in the future and have them share a fan controller. That is what I was going to do, but ended up going with the prewired because of the fan cfu between then and easy I’d install.

Hope that helps. Sorry it didn’t use your adapter, but you can always use that for a 1-2 meters of led strip if it’s 2A

I personally have that box /u/BJWTech linked. It gets a little warm to the touch, but I picked up a simple USB Fan that blows across the box (and some other network gear) and it keeps it just barely warmer than room temp. Processor reports around 30c now.


120MM USB Fan

I love the Ubiquiti Unifi POE switches for VoIP. Easy to configure, simple vlan implementation (just use Unifi's default vlan mechanism, untagged access port with PVID, no need to set vlan ID's on the phones).

But for VoIP, the more important thing is the router/firewall/UTM, and the configurations that may be specific to each vendor.

A tip: if you want your networking gears to run nice and cool with minimum risk of failure, grab some 120mm USB fans like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G05A2MU/ and put one on top of each of your POE switch/router/firewall etc. Those things tend to run hot, because they're usually minimally or passively cooled, and heat is your no.1 enemy for electronics. With a simple inexpensive fan like that sitting on top (the model I linked is also whisper quiet), each of your boxes will easily drop 10C in temperature or more. I have one for each one of my Mikrotik CCR routers, SonicWall UTMs and Unifi switches, even on some Unifi APs, all running soothingly cool.

for fan.

Quiet, blows tons of air. Suggest you use power adapter and not pull from usb port.

Also, undervolt helps.

Chrome is UGLY when it comes to cpu resources. Try the new chromium based edge DEV beta. Better with all the features of Chome.

For the person with the nvidia driver issue. Why use the MS provided old drivers? Go to nvidia's site and get newer ones.

Why not just run a quiet fan all the time in a cabinet? I have two of these in my cabinet, one directly on top of my AVR, and I don't hear them at all.

Drive around until you find somebody who's chucked a cabinet on the side of the road. Pick it up and use a big boring bit or jigsaw to cut some holes in the side. Then buy a couple of these to move air through the cabinet, then just mount all your components to the shelves or back.

hell yeah motherfucker

Easy if nothing is in the rack. Used these for the cabinet fans https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G05A2MU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_HA-CAbRCS8KKK

That said as long as you have decent access to the underside, it’s just a few screws and these are way quieter.

well PC fans are already designed for small spaces. you're only trying to ventilate a few cubic feet of air with a space bucket/tote, after all. I've read that the rule for grow tents is to replace all the air inside every three minutes. an average 80mm PC fan is rated for 30CFM or so, and 5 gallons is only 0.67 cubic feet - even a tiny 80mm fan is plenty. they're also quieter than desk fans, and some manufacturers make high static pressure PC fans that can handle a small carbon filter.

wiring fans to AC adapters does require a bit more spending and work, but AC fans like this one are plug-and-play, though a bit louder than I would want.

Could be a faulty receiver. You could try adding a USB fan and connect it to receiver so it turns on/off with it.

This is the one I use and it works well.

The TB15 was $299 when it was on sale from Dell.

The main issue with the TB15 was that Dell's branded Wi-Fi cards were creating a lot of interference with the Thunderbolt 3 chip due to improper shielding in the dock. If you have an Intel or Killer Wireless Wi-Fi card, thus won't be a issue for you.

Overheating is a secondary issue and only occurs when the Ethernet Jack is plugged in or if the rear USB ports are used while multiple monitors are plugged into the dock. I placed the dock on top of this fan and the problem is solved.

So no, you're not better off in dongle hell. If you're getting a TB15 around $100, then it is pretty close to the of a dual monitor TB3 dongle anyway but it is much more capable.

You may even be able to leverage Dell into replacing the TB15 with the new TB16 when it is released. There's a lot of us that will be trying that pretty soon.

Don't run an extension cord into your shower.

I'd suggest cutting a piece of coroplast to fit the open window, and then make a round hole in the coroplast to fit something like:

A USB fan run from a phone-recharging battery-pack

An O2COOL battery fan with rechargeable batteries

An automotive aux cooling fan run from a 12v battery pack (such as a pack for radio-control model cars)

huh, never notice that with mine. Get one of these, I use it with my receiver since it sits inside a cabinet. Works great.

Mine ran very hot when I first received it. They really should have a small fan inside the USG 3P.

After a few days I purchased a USB Fan that I plugged into my Raspberry Pi next to it, and it runs much much cooler. I bought this one and run in at the slowest speed. It's been great, very quiet.

Yes - we made one this year and used it. The biggest lesson we learned was that the usb powered fan we used (https://www.amazon.com/AC-Infinity-MULTIFAN-Receiver-Playstation/dp/B00G05A2MU/ref=pd_bxgy_147_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00G05A2MU&pd_rd_r=CN7CZE2K5CBCZ4GSY40M&pd_rd_w=lIUEB&pd_rd_wg=eBdrH&psc=1&refRID=CN7CZE2K5CBCZ4GSY40M) had quite a low air flow rate, which was the achilles heel of the cooler.

Combined with the fact that the tents were not insulated, it did not appreciably decrease the overall temperature in the tent - you would have been better off with just a more powerful, normal fan.

However, the air coming out of the swamp cooler was definitely much colder - so if you duct it right into your face, it was awesome - but this meant only the person in front of the duct got the cooling action.

If you do it, I recommend:

• get maximum fan power
  
• make sure you duct it properly so you can direct airflow exactly where it needs to go
  
• add an insulating layer to tent (the military learned the importance of this: http://sprayfoam.com/foam-news/spray-foam-insulation-saving-lives-billions-of-dollars-in-iraq-afghanistan/1160)

Ah! Thanks so much for the link. I used the same brand, and didn't realize they had a more powerful version. I've been using this.

Next bucket, I'm going to use this. Or just replace my current exhaust fan with this.

You're the man but you already know that. For those that don't know he's sorting (mythbusting) 60 pages worth of info on non-married batteries in a dual setup. I hope it's BS so the 7+ year debate will end.

I don't know if you improved the crazy ghetto fan setup yet but I have some extra high quality 120mm fans if you need them. If I remember correctly you had a hub with tons of 80mm fans all over the place. I'd love to see that picture again if you have it because that was awesome.

If that's the case you should reach out to the public because this is what you really need and besides making life easier it would help data: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G05A2MU

It comes with an extra USB port and If I think you can daisy chain 8 of them. I got it for my router so when I throw Tomato's firmware and overclock it more than my 2500k it stays ice cold.

AC Infinity makes usb fans for cooling ht components,

120mm - $11.99

For future reference, AVR's are passively cooled so even a small amount of airflow introduced is a lot of airflow. No need to waste $60 coming up with a diy usb fan.

Yeah. It might be overkill... that thing circulates a ton of air. I've been having some issues with temperature so I might try switching it out with something a little less beefy and way quieter like this.

Is it better to have an extra fan that blows hot air out sideways from behind the rig, sucks hot air up from the rig, or blows hot air up and out from the bottom of the rig? These fans:

can be positioned any number of ways.

My router cooler of choice is the AC Infinity fan. (120/140)

I keep all my consoles in my TV cabinet slots. Like others though I would not recommend doing it without adding in at the very least some vents. I went a bit further and cut a hole in the back and added this USB PC Fan to improve the air flow.

I also use one in the slot for my receiver. They work very well.

It sounds like you need a new PSU. On a side note are you monitoring the temp while gaming I have a HP-8200 SFF with a gtx 1050ti & I had to cut a hole in my case & install one of these on the outside to keep the temp down.

I'm looking for faster USB 120mm fans to replace existing ones that cool off my gaming PC and server. These fans are controlled by custom USB hubs that power these fans ON and OFF via my server based on certain conditions.

Denon recommends at least 5" of space on top and 2" on either side. There is no way I can get space on sides in this entertainment center. Not sure how to deal with this.

The amp is for bass shakers in my couch. I like it better here than next to my couch.

Edit: I guess placing a fan like this AC Infinity Fan on top of the receiver as an exhaust would help. But I don't know from where the receiver takes its air. If it's from the sides, then I'll still have a airflow problem.

I just took off the front chassis, then zip tied the fan to the case. Bought this fan, and plugged it into the usb port in the front. Played around to see where it would work best before zip tying it...I think the parity drive gets used/heats up most. Usually keep it at the lowest fan speed setting but when doing a parity check, will bump it up to medium speed (prob not necessary). I don't spin down disks cause from what I've read it doesn't seem to prevent disk failure?

Ah ok

​

Step by step on how to do it? What fans do you get because I can't find any small fans like these or I'm just not smart looking for things like this?

​

Does any USB fan work?

Like this? https://www.amazon.com/AC-Infinity-MULTIFAN-Receiver-Playstation/dp/B00G05A2MU/ref=sr_1_17?hvadid=78065424219528&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&keywords=usb+fan&qid=1567190144&s=gateway&sr=8-17

​

Do the fans blow inside the headset to keep you cool?

Playing a 6 ohm speaker on a 8 ohm setting on my Onkyo-8020. It tends to get pretty hot when I'm jamming.
Would purchasing a fan like this and placing it horizontally ontop of the receiver be recommended?
edit: maybe even get two of them?
