I recently upgraded my house to 10 Gb/s ethernet, and I discovered that high-speed networking equipment runs very hot. One of my Thunderbolt ethernet adapters kept overheating. I started looking into other adapters that might work, but I found Amazon reviews for nearly all of them that mentioned overheating. Apparently it's a common problem with 10 Gb/s ethernet adapters.
Then someone in one of the reviews mentioned AC Infinity fans as a solution. I decided to buy the AC Infinity Controller 2 along with a 140mm fan. Wow this works great! I placed the fan next to my Thunderbolt ethernet adapter, and attached the AC Infinity temperature probe to the top of the adapter with some thermal tape. Now the fan turns on whenever the adapter reaches 90 degrees. I have the fan set to the lowest setting, and it's so quiet that I can't tell when it's running. I'm very sensitive to sound, and this doesn't bother me at all. However, it lowers the temperature quickly. What a perfect solution!
Anyway, if you have hot electronics on your desk that need cooling, this is a perfect solution! The comfort level exceeded expectations.
Just as pictured. My college aged daughter loves it The comfort level exceeded expectations. Assembly was straightforward.
When my wife bought these, I wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of these, the easiness of installing them, and how they looked once up. We liked them so much that we ordered another set within a couple of days. My wife is using these for her Stampin' Up dies and stamp cases and it works perfectly for these and DVDs. The comfort level exceeded expectations.
