Can I run the fan without the ion? I am not fond of the ion air and hopefully it's possible. Thanks.

Yes, the initial setting appears to be for the Ionizer as well as the "oscillating" (back and forth) to be "Off" - meaning you would have to "turn it on" first.

There is a little green light that comes on"If you want the Ion" If not, press again and the light will go off. That's what my manual says. hope this helps.

Yes. with little activity the fan hardly runs. With more processing it really blows. I found the problem with mine was some Toshiba installed gaming that was running all the time. causing the fan to run on high all the time. I couldn't figure out how to turn the game off (or how it even got turned on) so I just uninstalled it and my machine now runs quiet.

No for the fan alone. But it does have options for System: Cool, Heat, Em(ergency) Heat, Auto and Off. So if you don't want the fan to run, you'll need to turn the system off.

i can power my fan off a USB port in my laptop. I see the fan as being a nice extra, but is it really needed? How hot does your Mac get without it?

No, the adapter plugs into a USB port. If you already have an a/c adapter that accepts a USB cable you can plug it into that. This fan moves way more air than one would think.

No it will not run off a wall outlet. It's suppose to be for your computer.. and since it's connected to the computer motherboard, it uses a DC voltage output from it.This is also not a USB fan. Based on your question, it's likely not what you want or need..

It seems to run so cool for some things that the fan never comes on. I have had the fan come on (which is pretty quiet) occasionally, and it was still running pretty cool. My thought would be that you'll be fine, as long as you have a clear path from the fan area to a good supply of air.

You have to look that up through the manufacturer's specs for your machine. Yes you have to either use the existing fan in your unit or purchase a new one. You are far better off just buying a new machine as I purchased this processor through Eagle Eye Electronics and got it D.O.A and then the seller kept my money anyway, even after I returned the faulty processor to him.

Hi Liz, Our fans do not run on batteries. They can run off of solar power or DC power. Please let me know if you need any further information.Thank you,Nextek Power Systems

The fan runs when the dc power is connected. I don't know if it will hash without it.

I use the same wall plugs for this that I use for things like my Kindle and phone. They have a USB opening but plug into the wall. I don't use my fan at my computer. Works great!

Just use the provided fan and I'd you dislike it then you should get a new one. I'm currently using the stock fan.

I bought an extra fan but never used it. I placed a fan running from my liquid cooling on the back and then I have one on the front and top.

i already had a fan, but they have plenty on amazon to do the job.make sure you get the arctic silver thermal paste too. this will keep theamd running cooler.

I have the dual fans (4000 cfm) ... using to cool a 355 SBC they are quality units, work fine, however, they draw a lot of juice and are noise.I had to go to a 140 amp. alternator to carry the load. I'm going to put seperateswitches so I can run 1 fan on cool days and 2 only when needed to drop the loadand noise. engine mounted in a '74 260Z roadster conversion with tight engine bayso cooling, even with an alum. rad. and ceramic coated headers a task. Fans did the trick.

Yeah I had that in my fan info too. But the info with this control says not to use it with a solid state fan. Who even knows what these "solid state" things are. You should be fine.

My experience: I have a fan-less PSU and the stock setup is adequate. However, I do not use their included fan splitter, because my motherboard supported multi-zone tuning (no evidence that this is better/worse... YMMV). Fans are off/low most of the time under normal load. Hope this helps...
