Is this an exhaust fan? I need one for my push pull air configuration with the enermax black twister t40 cpu coole. Thanks for the help in advance!

It works really well but the led lights are not on the blades just attached to the casing

I think it can be either or. I'm currently using it as exhaust and is working great, even for hard gaming.

Fan works either way exhaust or intake depending on which way it is facing when installed I love it I would like a purple or pink
1749973
it can b a intake or xhaust to the case ,had it mounted to top as intake but was to loud, was setting right beside me. am going to try it as a xhaust in another case with fan speed controler

Could be. I use it that way, though from the design, I think it is meant to be primarily an intake fan (positive pressure in the box). Seems to work either way.

If your looking for a fan that pulls. Just flip it if it isn't right that's all you have to do. My cpu is cool as heck right now after me being worried about it before I got this fan. It's easy.

It works for me with a Can Max Fan Mixed Flow Inline Fan, 6-Inch 334 Cubic Feet Per Minute fan #340410. The speed is adjustable and the noise isn't to bad compared to the flow it gives. I have left it on all the time to circulate air and equalize the temperature in the that room compared to the remainder of the house.

I have the dual fans (4000 cfm) ... using to cool a 355 SBC they are quality units, work fine, however, they draw a lot of juice and are noise.I had to go to a 140 amp. alternator to carry the load. I'm going to put seperateswitches so I can run 1 fan on cool days and 2 only when needed to drop the loadand noise. engine mounted in a '74 260Z roadster conversion with tight engine bayso cooling, even with an alum. rad. and ceramic coated headers a task. Fans did the trick.

I have not installed it yet, however I see to real problems. I plan to use this only on my bathroom exhaust fan only. I hope this helps

My understanding is that it is a blend of a traditional tower-type fan with a floor blower. This is a great fan. Very powerful, but very quite on it's lower settings. It you really want the air to flow, turn it on high. Best portable fan I have bought. Better than the Dyson...

Forgot to mention, the case fan is quite loud so I would either replace it with a quiet one or get a simple fan speed controller. This is what i got.

Hello Richard, I had the same dilemma and I decided that the fan would be much more effective when used as an exhaust fan. I have a very hot running tube amp and it keeps it running warm. I did angle the cabinet to the back wall so that the air would be reflected away at about a 15 degree angle. Hope this helps. Jnm

They are better as a radiator fan or heatsink. They could work as an intake if you have a lot of hard drives or wires in the way. They have a lot of pressure AND move a lot of air at full speed. Many other fans tend to do one or the other. For case fans you will tend to want high air flow and not worry so much about pressure. Fans with high pressure and high airflow will tend to create more noise and are not ideal for case fans for that reason, so if you HAVE to use one, probably exhaust.

Well, weird as it may seem, I am looking for a fan that actually makes a noticeable hum/sound. We use it as a sound conditioner and to drown out external noise when sleeping. Does anyone know of one that would meet that requirement? Ours is about to quit, and it is not the time of year to find one in a retail store. Thank you.

No brand, just check the ratings on here, want an inline fan. if you go LED you won't need much exhaust so you can get one of those regulators and dial the fan down. those are 20 bucks i think

This is a high flow volume fan. I am using it in a warehouse setting. It is not an air conditioner and not recomended for a small spaces.

Push Pull Configure is where you have 4 Total fans if its for the x60 is as follows Fan1-2 blows this way &gt; this is kraken IIII then you have the other 2 fans blowing this way &gt; that is push pull

Should this fan work great when the power is out ran on a generator? Ore could some one recommend a better one it gets hot in the summer in Houston. I will have a window ac but want to help push the cool air. Thank you.

Oh YES!! That's exactly what I installed to operate my new fan. It works great! You wont even need the pull chain to operate it, however you will be able to use either. Enjoy!

I use this fan for both. It's really heavy duty. Never a problem with them. I own 10 of these. It really moves the air. I hopes this helps.

Yes, the VM40 does use an internal fan ~40-60mm rear blower type. Unfortunately, though I wouldn't say the VM40 is loud it is definitely not silent. In a quiet room if you are even six feet away you will hear it, even at idle as a low level "whooshing" sound. I like what most of this PC has to offer but the fan is too loud for me (I'm spoiled by typically custom building silent or near-silent PCs). Shame on Asus for not including manual fan speed control in the BIOS (the latest v1202). At idle the fan spins at ~ 2300 rpm which is fast enough to be audible. At this this speed the CPU temp is in the low 60C range, quite high for a Celeron but there in lies the rub. Even if I could slow the CPU fan speed I'd run the risk of overheating the CPU. I took a look at the fan's power connector to see if I could install a manual fan speed controller but no joy: The VM40 employs a very small (five wire?) proprietary connector.

Sure it can be used as an exhaust fan. You would need a 140mm exhaust fan port on the computer case for it to be practical though. The fan is designed to be installed on heat sinks.The fan like all computer fans is designed to run off of the computer power supply 12V connectors.The fan dimensions are 140x150x25 mm.
