From how far can you stand away from the fan to feel the warm air when operating? Thanks in advance.

You can hardly feel the air when you put your hand right next to the fan. I think it's main function is not to blow warm air, rather to circulate the warm air.

In simple terms, NO. The fan turns over the air in my PC cabinet that is 6' long, 2' high and about 15" deep enough to drop the temperature 15 deg. I don't know how much CFM this would be but it does what I want it to do. If you want to feel the air, forget it. With the back of my hand 3"from the fan unit I can not tell if it is on or off.

The fan on my unit comes on as soon as I plug it in. I assume it is malfunctioning! If you operate it without the fan running it will probably overheat and burn out the components.

You asked question loooong time ago, hopefully you have answered yourself. Unit should not be in direct path of cool air, otherwise temp setting can be adjusted for location. Mine is only 5' away but on the other side of a wall that blocks direct airflow.

The thermostat turns the unit off when the temperature drops below 70F. You would need to decide whether you want the fan to operate in temperatures below 70F (example: sunny day with temperatures in the 50s or 60s)

Daniel, from the coolerguys website: Personally it I can feel it lightly at two feet. In my tv closet, I have it blowing out to draw air in rather than blowing air over my equipment.Fan Specifications (per fan):Dimensions:80x80x25mmRated Voltage: 5 VoltsConnector: USBTail: 16 inch /From each fan to the USB plugRPM: 1500 +/- 10%Airflow / CFM: 20Noise / dB: 19.7 Bearing: Dual Ball BearingMTFB: 50,000 hrs (over 5 years)Combined specs:Airflow / CFM: 40Noise / db: 22.7

Probably couldn't hurt if you have the room, I thought about doing the same. The fan is decent for what it is, but doesn't push all that much air. You could wire both fans to operate on the same switch. I have noticed that the fan does help the performance of the unit in hot temps. Good luck dude.

YES . I have two. I use them as both fan and air cleaner. i can feel them 8 feet away. buy it you will not be sorry.

If it's a couple feet away from curtains you should be ok. I meant that in an enclosed area it gets the ambient temperature hot. Air circulation and heat are always the issues inside. If heat is a concern then go led and or ad fans.

The fan continues until you power off the system. Same for heat and cool cycles.

Hmmm...not sure about the fan, but I haven't heard it and I normally sit within arm's reach of it when using it. I am not using it in a super quiet location, such as a studio, however. When packing up after two hours of use I haven't noticed that the unit is hot.

Not sure if I understand the question correctly. I live in the tropics with tenperatures between 72 F at night and 94 F in the day. The fan has never given me any trouble. I turn it on and it works every time until I turn it off.

There is no fan. It is quiet. Keep some space around the heat sink, as it runs rather warm.

Fan strength is good. If you get about 3 or 4 feet away you don't feel much heat. But I live in Vermont and I use 2 of these to heat my 1100 square foot house and it has been well below zero for a few weeks and they keep up pretty well.

I have one that I leave connected to my computer constantly, and I rarely turn it off. The hard drive only spins up when it's in use, so if you don't use it much, heat isn't an issue. And as long as you are in a temperature-controlled room that stays below 85 to 90 degrees, it shouldn't matter how much you use it. A fan is only necessary if the ambient temperatures is very hot.

Hopefully, you have air slots or vents in the hotter components. If you have air vented slots on the sides and bottom, mount the fan below, if you have vented slots on the top, mount the fan unit above to draw the heat away.If you have room in the rack to space the components from each other, that is best. It is a little noisy, but works well. If you can, put the fan closest to your most critical component that is effected by heat

Not that I'm aware of. I imagine if you knew what you were doing, you might somehow override the settings and stop the fan - but I don't see why you would want to when it so effectively projects the heat outward in order to quickly heat an area. Without the fan, the heat would largely remain localized, so anyone/anything more than a foot or two away wouldn't feel it.
