AC Infinity AIRPLATE S1, Quiet Cooling Fan System 4" with Speed Control, for Home Theater AV Cabinets

Not as mentioned

I ordered this fan to add to my battery spot welder as the internals get very hot and cause electrical component issues. It is a flush mount fan, therefore I had to make a spacer so that the fan does not hit any internal components. High fan speed is a little slower than I expected, but again, I don't think this is to be used as a velocity fan, but more of an air circulation fan. The 2 styles of USB connections don't seem well placed, or not useful ( in my application) but again these types of power connections may work well when used in their true purpose as entertainment cabinet fans in conjunction with other electrical devices. Very happy with my little fan!

I bought this fan to rig up as a small kitchen exhaust fan in my tiny house. I needed something that would allow me to exhaust through an awning window and this fan attached to a board works really well. It sucks up a ton of humid air and pushes it outside quietly and efficiently. It was pretty expensive for what I was hoping to pay but the quality of the product is very pleasing. This product both functions very well and looks very nice. If it happens I need another one, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from this company again.

Solidly built and easily converts from push to pulling air. The fans are very quiet, ideal if you are using in a media or av cabinet.

The AC Infinity AIRPLATE P7 has been a great addition to my media cabinet setup. I installed it to improve airflow for a mini gaming PC with the cabinet door open, and it performs exactly as I hoped. Installation was straightforward. The included template made cutting the opening simple, and mounting it was easy. In its standard configuration, the airflow direction pushes air toward you when facing the control panel. I initially tried reversing the airflow, but that introduced noticeable fan noise, likely due to turbulence from the grill design. After switching back to the stock configuration, it became extremely quiet, even at maximum speed. From about six feet away, it is barely audible. It moves a solid amount of air for its size. Depending on your enclosure, running multiple units together would likely create very strong airflow. The added outlets and USB ports make it a neat solution for AV cabinets where you want both cooling and integrated power control. The unit offers four fan speeds and two operating modes. You can run it in temperature mode, where it automatically activates at set heat levels, or in a standard manual speed mode. Fit and finish are excellent, and AC Infinity has a strong reputation for quality. If you need clean, quiet airflow for a cabinet, rack, or media enclosure, this is a very well-designed option that I would definitely recommend my only wish would be for optimized fan/ grill for reversing airflow direction and having color matching screws instead of bright silver against the dark brushed finish of the fan system.

I bought one 4" (80mm) AC Infinity fan without the controller to cool the enclosed CPU section of my desk. I have a desktop computer housed in the desk CPU enclosure that puts off a substantial amount of heat and within 1-2 hours, I measured the temperature inside the desk CPU enclosure to be around 84F. Electronic components typically don't like being run in temperatures higher than 85F and will have a reduced lifespan if they are run hotter than 85F. My desk already had a preexisting opening from under the desk surface (where my feet go) to the top of the CPU enclosure. This opening was designed to allow monitor cables to be run from the top of the desk into the CPU compartment and measured 3.9" x 6.9". I installed the fan (blowing out) at the top of the opening and closed off the remaining bottom portion with a plate. The AC Infinity fan runs off an integrated USB port located on the back of my computer and (seemingly without effort) keeps the desk CPU enclosure at almost room temperature (plus maybe 1-2 degrees). Note: I did NOT have to use the USB "turbo" converter that came with the fan. I also did not drill any new ventilation holes into the desk CPU enclosure for air intake. It would appear that the natural 1mm cracks around the closed doors on both sides of the desk CPU enclosure are sufficient for allowing room temperature air to flow into the desk CPU enclosure. The really cool thing (no pun intended :)) is that when the computer goes to sleep, it not only stops producing heat but ALSO shuts down the integrated USB port which in turn shuts off the AC Infinity fan. It is a perfect system that negates the need for the optional AC Infinity fan controller. The AC Infinity fan runs so quietly that in a dead silent room, I can't tell if the slight hum I hear is from the AC Infinity fan or the louder fan located in my computer's power supply within the cabinet. I HIGHLY recommend this fan for this application! I have also used the AC Infinity 6" (120mm) fans in my much larger home entertainment cabinets and they also perform very well and very quietly. Update: After writing this review, I tried running the fan on the low setting and the temperature inside the CPU enclosure did begin to (very slowly) creep up. Also, on the low setting, the slight hum disappears (to my ears anyway). So, the fan running on high setting does add to the hum. I'm going to watch to see if on the low fan setting the temp stops rising at some point. If not, I'll run the fan on the high setting and not worry about it. I still don't need to use the "turbo" wall USB adapter that claims a 25% increase of airflow. But, it is nice to know I have that option if I add heat producing components to my desk's CPU enclosure.
