I bought a passively cooled GPU a couple of weeks ago and needed something cheap, cheerful and, ideally, quiet to help keep its temperature down. I bought one of these on the principle that if it's rubbish it didn't cost much, but now I've got it fitted I'm amazed at how well it works - and how genuinely quiet it is.

So much so called "silent" stuff turns out to be louder than I expected, but this little beaut really is silent! It's also doing a great job at keeping everything in my box cool too.

If you're looking for something quiet and cheap to help with your cooling, you'll be hard pressed to beat one of these. The only downside is that it's noticeably cooler under my desk now ;)

Was struggling to get a Small form factor PC to run silently, and eventually cut a large hole in the case over the CPU heatsink and fitted one of these. When I turned it on, I had to check the fan was turning, it was so quiet! Excellent - and surely the answer if you are building a media PC... 9/10 because I can never get the silicone rubber 'bolts' to fit, but that's just me.
