If you don't want to spend $61 on a fan, these are a good alternative. They have good static pressure so they work best for heatsinks/radiators.

      Bought two during the last Centre Com sale. Quite impressed with the dual-ball bearings, solid build quality, and strong, steady performance. Better than Noctua IMO

        Better value probably. Better? No

    I have a 2 cubic metre cabinet that needs ventilation. Is this one good? Thanks

      Depends how much heat is being generated and how much fresh air can get in, but it's probably overkill. That said, for $15, that's not really a problem. You do need to look at how to power it, so a USB fan might be a better option (adaptors aren't expensive either, but it's still additional cost).

      This fan is also designed to keep pressure on whatever it's pushing air into, you're pushing air into nothing. So it's not well designed for your use case. You should be able to get a fan that's a mix of cheaper/quieter/pushes more air for your money.

      You won't want to overdo air exhaust because it needs to suck air in from somewhere and it'll likely bring in extra dust with it. That's why computers have vented areas to bring air in too.

        Thanks. I have a laundry cabinet with a dishwasher and a heat pump dryer, which has a door that will be closed when they are running. I want to extract warm air via a hole on the top of the cabinet. Is there any USB fan designed for that purpose?

          A cabinet like that should have a dedicated exhaust fan 🤔

          If you have spare pc fans laying around, you can use a 5v to 12v USB to 4 pin fan converter.

          I've used this exact cable to power an old 230mm PC fan to ventilate a storage room.

          As the above poster said, dedicated exhaust fan. It’s not just heat you want to get rid of but humidity. Having a wider area should help with that and pc fans aren’t made for moving damp air. I suspect you’d burn them out or just wind up with tonnes of condensation on them. IMO I’d be looking for a way to vent that damp air outside, otherwise you risk a lot of mould.

            @freefall101: Thanks. But a heat pump dryer is not expected to generate any damp air at all. Our current laundry space initially was fully closed, and after having the dryer run for 2 hours, when I opened the door, I felt either the humidity or the temperature increased a bit. I then replaced the solid door by one with some slots for passive ventilation, and it worked.
            Now I'm putting the laundry into the kitchen, and I don't want to have ventilation slots on the kitchen cabinet door.

      I did something similar for my gaming tv unit when the PlayStation consoles kept overheating

      One fan connected to draw out excess heat powered by USB makes all the difference

    I need 1 or 2 fans for TV cabinet - been using these (upHere 120mm Quiet USB Powered Fans 5V ): https://www.amazon.com.au/upHere-Powered-Computer-Compatible… as they can just be plugged into USB power brick and their speed can be adjusted (no need for full blast) - but after few years they now have become a bit noisy what do you suggest for this application/replacement?

      Buy pwm to usb adapters with a speed controller and fans.

    • BROKENKEYBOARD on 18/07/2026 - 17:09

      The specs imply it'll run at 450rpm at 5V which is pretty useless. Fans that have a higher base RPM like 2500+ would be better if running off 5v, maybe the P12 Pro?

    Rkn you could use these to make a Corsi-Rosenthal box? Would be an interesting project, but would also like to have clearer air since I am not far away from a major road.

    my friend has the cheapest version of one of these attached to the outside of their 12V fridge for better cooling and make it more efficient.

    if I buy this as a gift for them, will it perform better??

    or am I just being fooled by marketing "Gentle typhoon". seems to have more blades than the fan they currently have.

      Gentle Typhoons have been around for a long time and they're fantastic performers. Almost certainly better than whatever they're using, if it's indeed a regular 120mm

      • skibidigrimacmoggr67 on 19/07/2026 - 19:35

        yes it's a 120mm. but theirs USB powered.

        didn't realise this about the Gentle typhoon, but a adapter shouldn't be hard to get (but maybe a bit less reliable than fan with USB already built in?).

        edit hm I can see in the Gentle typhoon picture now the cable is separate and not attached. so might be just replace with USB cable. easy.

        Google said

        To convert a 4-pin PWM PC fan to a USB connection, use a 5V USB-to-Fan adapter cable.
        Key Details to Consider:Voltage Drop: USB ports output 5V, while standard PC fans run at 12V. The fan will operate, but it will spin at roughly 40-60% of its maximum rated speed.

        this is fine because they only ever run the USB 120mm fan at 1/3 speed only (slowest).

        Start-Up Voltage: Always ensure your fan's starting voltage is at or below 5V, otherwise, the fan will not spin.

        this might be a issue with adapter cable.

        this version might work. https://www.amazon.com.au/tunghey-Voltage-Step-Up-Sleeved-Ad…

        💗 12V voltage step-up circuit: Inside the USB housing is a voltage boost circuit that takes 5V and outputs up to 12V 0.4A for full power operation. Additional devices such as fan hubs and speed controller can also be used.

        12V Voltage Step-Up USB to 3-Pin and 4-Pin PC Fan Sleeved Power Adapter Cable

        it has the proper Step up to 12V function.

          ok but realised now with the proper cable, it will run at max speed which might be noisy.

          the cheaper adapter cable says. https://www.amazon.com.au/4-Pin-Sleeved-Power-Adapter-Cable/…

          Silent & Efficient: Operates cooling fans at a reduced 5V voltage for high efficiency and lower noise levels without the need of additional fan speed controllers

          so slower speed, but might not start up the fan if it is 12V fan. hmm.

            @skibidigrimacmoggr67: Even at full speed the noise these make aren't offensive. It's the sound of a lot of air moving rather than any mechanical noise, if that makes sense

    Worth putting these on the Thermalright phantom spirit?

    Have some Corsair RX120's i'm thinking of trying first though if it would even make a difference

      As long as you're not expecting a huge difference, at higher RPMs it does well but it might only result in 1 or 2 degree difference
