Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have an entertainment stand that is all enclosed with glass doors.There is no ventilation anywhere within the cabinet, and I have an Xbox 360, cable box, receiver, and modem/router all running within the confined space.I noticed upon playing Xbox that the temps inside the cabinet skyrocketed, to the point of red rings and equipment overheating and acting funny.Well, not even 6 months after purchasing the console, the Xbox fried, so I knew I had to add some sort of cooling product to alleviate the problem or else I would fry my new Xbox in another 6 months.Enter this product from [...].
The product is exactly what I needed.Using a jigsaw, I cut out the opening in the back panel of the entertainment stand (the thin wood that covers the back... this would be a tough install on a solid thick backing).One tip I learned is that you have to cut out a rectangle a little smaller than the supplied panel cover.I tried to just cut the circles out for the fans, but this made it way too hard to install easily.I went back and cut the full rectangle shape out and voila, went together as easily as everyone else's reviews said.
It took me about an hour to put together and cleanup.I turned on the Xbox, receiver, cable box and modem and played continously for 2 hours.Normally, the Xbox would sound like a 747 taking off at this point, but no, it was very quiet.I opened the glass doors to feel inside.What normally felt like an oven (no joke, probably usually 120 degrees plus) was now very comfortable and only felt slightly warmer than room temp.This thing works!In addition, it is truly silent.I just cannot hear it. The Xbox is way louder than the fans, even when the xbox is running low speed. In all, these work as advertised and aren't terribly difficult to install for anyone handy with some power tools.It will certainly cool your components when the furniture design is a dud to begin with.It does seem pricey, but I do believe it will lengthen the life of my components.
