im looking for fan that will freeze my buns off how can i tell how much air a fan produces what should i look for

A high cfm (cubic feet per minute). The higher the better. Fans just circulate air so I'm not sure about freezing your buns. This fan is huge great for big places. Good luck.

If you want to "freeze your buns off" you need to look for a fan that will produce a high velocity concentrated volume of air. Tubeaxial fans and centrifugal blower fans will do that. No fan by itself will create cooler air temperatures, but rather helps to evaporate the body's heat produced, either through sweat or just rise in temperature. A large fan like this is designed to move a large volume of air through it's size and power, but isn't necessarily going to create a hurricane type feel that you would with a centrifugal fan (what's used in a furnace).

Freeze off buns don't know. But this is a wonderful fan and really has good air flow for what we use it for and is a big fan.

I live in Texas, and it was a huge help in cooling us off while unloading hay into the barn.

Well mine is high speed and too loud to talk around and does not move much air considering the speed.Next time ill try a low speed belt drive they are quiet and move more air.Very disappointed with my Q standard!

The air flow is not very high. and I am using this fan to expel the hot air from an arcade machine. work well, the temperature inside the arcade machine is not high.

The fan sits flat like a pancake and sucks air in through the bottom and blows it out a port on the side. It kind of turns the air 90 degrees if you think about it. Mine sits on top of my amplifier and sucks the heat off the top and shoots it out the back of the cabinet. I've been using it for months now and I'm very happy with it. It produces a nice steady flow but it is not a high pressure air stream. It's just the right amount of air to keep your components cool. Remember it's just USB powered. I highly recommend the controller for it too.

None and it pulls cold air from the room thru the front vents with the squirrel fan.

I don't know as I do not have a way to measure. It isn't very strong. I have a dish receiver with a slingox and it gets really hot. This little fan moves air (not a lot) but the bit that it moves seems to help a lot. The nice thing about this fan is that it is quiet. I don't hear it over the equipment. So, it my mind it works great for what I am doing. It states it is 45 CFM. 45 CFM seems like a lot to me and I don't know if that is true. But it is working for my application.

The fan just has a low heat to higher heat range with dots. It does not specific a specific temperature.

Before I purchased an all house window fan, I tried an experiment. I tried to use this fan to exhaust warm/hot air from my house. I set it up to blow air out of the house so cool air would be sucked into the house from a window on the opposite side of the house. The amount of air moved was completely unacceptable. On high it was moving about 310 CFM. After two hours of running, I could not measure a temp difference. This is a very good fan but not if used as an exhaust fan. I purchased an Air King 9166 all house window fan. The Air King 9166 works so well, I only use the low setting. On low it moves 2510 CFM.

It's perfect for cooling my RV fridge coils. It makes it run much more efficiently. With this fan installed, I set the temp to three or everything will freeze. Before I had to go up to five in the summer.

I would highly recommend the tower fan fora small office. It moves allot of air very quietly and without taking up allot of space. I have two now for our apartment and they have made a world of difference with keeping the air flow moving!

Sorry I didn't answer your actual question. I does have a wide range of angles that you can use to cool off whatever you need to cool off. It is a fabulous fan.

I honestly do not know. I have debated getting one with a fan just to test that out; if I do, I will for sure let you know. Good luck, and sorry I couldnt answer.

I live in Az. And purchased this in April, where the air is dry and I could not tell a difference in coolness, I returned it to amazon and bought a 20inch box fan, this was for my elderly dog

Ohh the fans are meant for two different types of computers. The reference fan is made for computers who have limited space to cool within the computer, a small tower. What it does is basically blow the air out in through the vents where you plug in your dvi, VGA, and hdmi. On the other hand, the dual fans are meant for cases that have room around the graphics card to breathe. The dual fans also keep the graphics card much cooler. If you have a small case get this reference blower. I hope this helps.

Sorry. I got a defective fan and so returned it. Didn't run it for anywhere near that length of time.

I've tried both ways and in my setup, it was better to put upside down to blow directly on the warmest component. The fans move a lot of air. Try it one way and then another and compare what feels cooler. Even better if you can measure the temperature.
