Manufacturer description

The GDSTIME Dual 80mm USB Fan puts two slim cooling fans on one USB-A plug, so you can move air over hot electronics from two angles at once. Each fan measures 80 x 80 x 15 mm (3.15 x 3.15 x 0.59 inches). At 15 mm thick, the pair fits in tight spots behind a TV cabinet, on top of a router, or beside a game console. An inline controller on a 4.8-foot lead switches between Low, Medium and High, so you choose between quieter running and more airflow. At full speed the fans reach 2700 RPM and are rated at 30.8 CFM with a 32.6 dBA noise rating. They run on 5V USB power at a rated 0.4 A. That…

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I power this fan from the USB port on my game console or router?

Yes, as long as the port provides standard 5V USB power. The fan uses a USB-A plug and is rated at 5V and 0.4 A, so it can run from the USB ports on many consoles, modems, routers and AV receivers.

How big are the fans, and will they fit in a tight cabinet?

Each fan measures 80 x 80 x 15 mm (3.15 x 3.15 x 0.59 inches). The 15 mm slim profile is made for tight spaces like media cabinets and the gap behind a console.

How loud is it and how much air does it move?

At its maximum speed of 2700 RPM, each fan is rated at 30.8 CFM of airflow and 32.6 dBA of noise. The Low and Medium settings reduce speed for quieter running.

How does the speed control work?

An inline controller on a 4.8-foot cable switches between Low, Medium and High. You set it by hand; there is no automatic or temperature-based speed control.

Is it safe to use around kids or loose cables?

Both sides of each fan have an 80 mm metal grill, which keeps fingers and foreign objects out of the blades. Check the product listing for current warranty terms.
