Exhausting extra heat from your computer is just as important as extracting it from the hot surfaces contained within your computer. Otherwise, as the internal temperature rises, the efficiency of surface coolers is reduced. A computer case cooling fan solves this problem. Available as either a slot mounted or drive bay mounted unit, or as a separate customizable fan, computer case fans are perfect for ensuring reliable operation of your high performance servers and workstation computers. Most computer cases now include internal mounting locations for "square" case fans. Slot cooling fans are perfect as video card coolers for such hot-running 3D gaming video cards as 3dfx Voodoo, TNT, GeForce, and others.
The StarTech.com PC case exhaust fan is an add-in cooling fan designed to fit in the PCI or ISA expansion slots of any computer. It is used to exhaust warm air out, preventing problems due to overheating components. The exhaust fan inlet faces adjacent PCI or AGP cards and makes a great video card cooler for hot running 3D accelerator cards like the Voodoo, TNT2, GeForce256 and others. A quiet running brushless DC motor coupled with a high efficiency blade design is capable of moving 36 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of air. Power is supplied to the fan using a standard LP4 (hard drive power connector) pass through plug.
