Vantec SP-FC70-BL Spectrum System Fan Card with Dual Adjustable 70mm UV LED Fans (Blue), 195x92x20mm

I just purchased/received/and installed the Vantec SP FC70-BL Spectrum Fan card with the adjustable 70mm x2 UV LED Fans. First of all, it was extremely simple to install AND IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY SURPRISES THAT ARE UNWANTED. Slide the plastic PCI inserts included on the fan card directly into a blank PCI slot and connect the power supply and you are off and running. Secondly, this little double 70mm fan card setup is very powerful and pumps out some serious air flow (3500 RPMs). I used it for extra dual GPU SLI cooling. I put it right between my two EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTX 560ti video cards and it fit "perfectly". It increased the air flow to both of my GPU cards by at least 50%. The video cards already have a single fan installed on each of them, combined with the Cooler Master HAF-X tower's air duct 120mm fan that blows air directly onto the video cards, and the large 200mm case fan that pushes air directly onto the sides of each GPU, the Vantec fan system provides another 3500RPM per 70mm fan, the GPU's provide fan speeds up to 5,500RPM each, the 120mm duct fan provides air flow up to 1500RPMs. This extra air flow the Vantec provided brought my over all GPU temperatures down from approx. 70 to 80 degrees Celsius to 60 to 65 degrees Celsius. You can run your GPUs hotter than any other hardware in your computer. Temperatures up to 95 degrees Celsius are not uncommon, but not recommended over long periods of of high load usage and serious high end gaming. Also, I almost forgot to mention that the Vantec fan card is 100% manually adjustable from the outside/rear of your case in the back where you installed the card into the PCI slot. Thus, at the lowest setting the fan is still spinning, but only at about 700-1000 RPMs, which you can not hear at all. However, when you crank it up for some serious additional air flow you can really hear the super fast 70mm fans spin up to 5000 RPMs producing a lot of extra air flow to what ever component you have it directed at. I would most definitely recommend this modular fan card for anyone who is serious about reducing overall inside tower temperatures on you computer. Oh ya, it also looks pretty cool as well. It has an installed blue LED/UV light that looks good under any circumstance, especially at night. Every now and then you run across something that does "exactly" what you want it to do and what it is advertised to do and this was one of those devices that did exactly that. FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!!

I purchased this Vantec PCI slot fan 10 months ago, and I'm coming back now to write a review because it is such a good little fan card, especially compared to others on the market. It is still running strong, I can easily dust it using compressed air along with the rest of my computer components, and it's very, very, very quiet. You -might- hear something if it is turned up all the way to high but, then, what do you expect?The fact that I can lean behind my desk and adjust the speed slider depending upon the season or ambient temperature is a HUGE plus! I generally leave it at 1/3 to 1/2 speed throughout the year and turn it up to 2/3 speed in the summer. I don't have AC (air conditioning) and this little fan has saved me a lot of headache!It also works really well in conjunction with the Antec Cyclone Blower but -only- if make sure that the fans are not "fighting" one another (blowing in opposite directions). However, you will want to keep an eye on the Cyclone Blower because it does accumulate dust like nobody's business and that Cyclone Blower will eventually need replacing. (But that is a review for another product.)I did want to also add that this card -can- be flipped, but you sacrifice some stability because it requires removing two eyeglass-sized screws on one side of the card. Remove all of the screws, carefully remove the knob on the speed slider, and then you can remove and flip the bracket. The two screws on the end you can replace, but the two on the side will no longer have holes, so keep them in a little baggie somewhere safe in case you want to flip the card again. The knob for the speed slider slides back on just as snug as before, too. As long as the card is nestled comfortably in a PCI-card slot it has more than enough stability to keep it running even without two of the four screws in place. It doesn't vibrate that much in the first place!In any case, this little fan is a worthwhile investment in your computer's future!

Don’t even know why I bought this? But then I needed it after I threw it away :( don’t like the blue LEDs either

Well, I read all the reviews for this fan, and everything looked great, so I bought it. What no one mentioned for some reason is that the power cable that comes with this is a "4-pin," which is usually associated with older computers. My computer doesn't have any 4-pin connections inside it. It only has the SATA cables, which are more common in newer computers. I just have a regular Dell computer that I bought in the last couple of years, so I suspect a lot of buyers may encounter the same problem.Basically, you need to open your computer case before buying this and see if you have any 4-pin connectors in there. Otherwise, this won't work. I still don't understand why no one else has mentioned this problem.As far as the product goes, the cable is fairly cheaply made, but the rest looks pretty good. I'm not sure why they couldn't make it powered by the PCI slot itself, but whatever. It's cheap, so I'm sure it works well enough if you can actually get power to it.By the way, if you do decide to get this, you may need to order one of these with it: [...] This should convert your SATA to 4-pin. You could add this into your order pretty cheaply and probably get free shipping.Good luck. :)***revision: I have updated the review to 4 stars now, as I think I got my point across. Hopefully I will save a few people from buying the wrong cable due to a lack of clarity in the item's description. I actually got a new computer a couple of months ago, and it had the right connection in it, so now I'm able to review the actual fan, and it is working quite well. It's loud when it's turned up, but I don't think it's a problem. For the price, this is a good little fan. It's nice to be able to crank it up when you know you're pushing your graphics card hard.

Works great
