ive heard these things work wonders for GPUs, i figured for 5 bucks it would be worth it.
Thoughts anyone.

maybe if you mount it above your video card in an empty slot in your case if you've got one it would be pretty neat.

I don't think it would make much of a difference, best bet would be to save your money and get an arctic silencer.

well for $10(with S&H) its worth a shot. I have enough for an Arctic Silencer, but as of now im trying to conserve money, (buying my sis a B-Day pres.)

ahh gotcha. I've seen some reviews on pci exaust fans, most of them are sleeve bearings though and don't last long.

well i think ill do a little more research on them, but im probably going to go ahead and get one.

yeah true, at a price like that who cares if they don't last 10 years.

well i got it today, and i must say it works really well. When playing BF2 i used to get up to 70-72*C with the Fan at 100%(extremely loud) the CPU would go up to about 42-44*C, and now the GPU only goes up about 65-68*C with fan at 50%, and the CPU only goes up to 40*C And the new fan isnt loud at all and pushes alot of air out the back(45CMF). So this little thing is working pretty good.
