Nexus PCI-300 Extra Ventilation Black PCI Brackets, 3 pieces

Very well made and practical product with an excellent service by QUIET PC COM. I’m very pleased.

These ventilated brackets are a good investment if you are looking to improve airflow in your PC case. I bought 2 packs and am pleased with the purchase.

Please note that not all of these brackets are created equal. Luckily, they can be easily bent to compensate for potential slight factory defects.

By the way, the picture led me to believe these brackets are grey, but they are actually black. ^_^

These vents each have two ridges running along their length, making them pretty rigid. The pack of three plates comes with three fixing screws (although I didn’t use these). The plates fitted perfectly. With the PC running, I can feel cool air being drawn in through these vents.

I recently installed a passively cooled Sapphire Radeon HD4670. For improved air flow I had removed the blanking plates from three vacant PCI slots, but was concerned about dust (or spiders!) getting into the case, so these vented plates are an ideal solution.

Bought these for my son’s pc, so the review is really from him. He says he achieved a 3-4 degree drop on his GFX card when using these as opposed to the usual PCI blanks that were there.

My main gripe with this product is that the manufacturer describes them as “Strong shaped metal mesh”, when in fact a more accurate description would be “easily bendable metal mesh”.
