## Description

desertcart.com: AC Infinity AIRPLATE S7, Quiet Cooling Fan System 12" with Speed Control, for Home Theater AV Cabinets : Electronics

Review: Absolutely Brilliant - AC Infinity has always done right by me and this is no exception. I bought this fan because I installed a mini fridge in a kitchen cabinet. I had drilled out some ventilation holes but they weren't doing enough to get the fridge to work properly. I installed this fan and it did the trick. The quality of their products is second to none. Even the packaging gives you a feeling of quality and it's just cardboard. The product itself looks great and works just as described. It comes with a template to cut out any of the wall or cabinet where you are installing it. The fans run ultra quiet and are very smooth. It comes with a USB or power adapter. I opted for the power adapter to make sure that it was getting the correct amount of power to make sure that it was working as it needed to. I have the fan on high and you can't hear it at all. Moves plenty enough air for my needs. There aren't any cons to this product. The price is extremely reasonable so don't even bother looking anywhere else.
Review: Quality & Quiet - Bought this solidly built fan kit to cut down on heat build up inside an A/V equipment cabinet that houses a 5.1 receiver and DVD player. Ordered using standard (free) shipping and received in 3 days, Unit is well packaged with good instructions for mounting. Clear plastic template for cutting the mounting hole and drilling the mounting screw holes is included-- a thoughtful touch. Installation was straight forward. I mounted the fan near the top back of the cabinet facing out to pull the hot air out. Existing openings allow the fan to pull cool air in from the front/bottom of cabinet. If the cabinet was sealed tighter, I would buy a 2nd kit, use the USB daisy chain to power it, and mount it facing in on the bottom of the cabinet to really move some air through. The only challenge was installing by myself: How to turn a screwdriver on mounting screws outside the cabinet at the same time as holding a pair of pliers on the mounting screw nuts on the inside of the cabinet?! A pair of vise grips locked on the nuts held them in place so I could tighten the screws from outside, thankfully. Otherwise, you may need a 2nd person for a few minutes. Fan can be powered either by USB or AC power. Fan also has a 2nd, short USB "dongle" for daisy-chaining additional fans: Another thoughtful idea. I plugged the fan into the switched AC outlet on my receiver, so the fan starts automatically when the receiver is powered up. Fan also has an easily removed foam filter. Kudos for a well thought out, well built unit. Most importantly, the fan keeps things cool-- even with both the receiver and DVD player running. With the sound off on the receiver, I can just about hear the fan if I put my head right by the open cabinet door. With the doors closed and with the sound on, there is no discernable noise from the fan. I'll be buying another for cooling a computer enclosed in a cabinet in my office. Highly recommended.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this an exhaust fan or an input fan. (Does it draw air out or push air in?)**
A: You shouldn't need powered fans drawing air in. If you have the fans blowing warm air out near the top, you can drill some ports for the cool air to be drawn in from the bottom. on the other side of the enclosure.

**Q: How much air does these blow? I want to use it as a window fan to blow out hot air from inside the room.**
A: I did this, with 4 fans and the controller, in a high-up-near ceiling casement window to remove that 'stuck' layer of hot air up there.
Took some fiddling to reverse the airflow and add a filler plate, but it went in very cleanly. With a top-down bottom-up cellular shade, it can either blow air directly outside, or down the inside of the closed window and out the bottom of the shade when the AC is on to circulate air so the AC unit can 'grab it' better. 
Pretty amazed at how well it works for both purposes. It does not move a huge amount of air; didn't expect it to - but it is nearly dead quiet from 10ft away (it's 15 ft up), the temp sensor makes it 'set and forget', and all the supplied cabling was just long enough where I needed it to be.
Very happy with it - and an awesome product.

**Q: Are the fans quiet?**
A: At 1 meter I read 58dB on my SPL meter.   That is not quiet.  It's very annoying in my theater.  Luckily they are standard 120mm fans.  I'm going to buy better fans and replace them.

**Q: Can this be added to a setup with an existing Airplate T7?**
A: Yes it can I bought both the T7 and S7 4 fans and one thermostatic controller.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AC Infinity 4" fan effortlessly vents wooden desk enclosed CPU compartment even with a hot running computer.
*by P***H on February 26, 2017*

I bought one 4" (80mm) AC Infinity fan without the controller to cool the enclosed CPU section of my desk. I have a desktop computer housed in the desk CPU enclosure that puts off a substantial amount of heat and within 1-2 hours, I measured the temperature inside the desk CPU enclosure to be around 84F. Electronic components typically don't like being run in temperatures higher than 85F and will have a reduced lifespan if they are run hotter than 85F. My desk already had a preexisting opening from under the desk surface (where my feet go) to the top of the CPU enclosure. This opening was designed to allow monitor cables to be run from the top of the desk into the CPU compartment and measured 3.9" x 6.9". I installed the fan (blowing out) at the top of the opening and closed off the remaining bottom portion with a plate. The AC Infinity fan runs off an integrated USB port located on the back of my computer and (seemingly without effort) keeps the desk CPU enclosure at almost room temperature (plus maybe 1-2 degrees). Note: I did NOT have to use the USB "turbo" converter that came with the fan. I also did not drill any new ventilation holes into the desk CPU enclosure for air intake. It would appear that the natural 1mm cracks around the closed doors on both sides of the desk CPU enclosure are sufficient for allowing room temperature air to flow into the desk CPU enclosure. The really cool thing (no pun intended :)) is that when the computer goes to sleep, it not only stops producing heat but ALSO shuts down the integrated USB port which in turn shuts off the AC Infinity fan. It is a perfect system that negates the need for the optional AC Infinity fan controller. The AC Infinity fan runs so quietly that in a dead silent room, I can't tell if the slight hum I hear is from the AC Infinity fan or the louder fan located in my computer's power supply within the cabinet. I HIGHLY recommend this fan for this application! I have also used the AC Infinity 6" (120mm) fans in my much larger home entertainment cabinets and they also perform very well and very quietly. Update: After writing this review, I tried running the fan on the low setting and the temperature inside the CPU enclosure did begin to (very slowly) creep up. Also, on the low setting, the slight hum disappears (to my ears anyway). So, the fan running on high setting does add to the hum. I'm going to watch to see if on the low fan setting the temp stops rising at some point. If not, I'll run the fan on the high setting and not worry about it. I still don't need to use the "turbo" wall USB adapter that claims a 25% increase of airflow. But, it is nice to know I have that option if I add heat producing components to my desk's CPU enclosure.
