Got this cooler a few days ago -the stated temp reading fluctuates every few min by a few degrees &amp; the fan comes on every few sec (about as loud as my refrigerator, but the hissing fan sound comes and goes -definitely not very silent as many claim)....

Sounds like you have a defect since mine is almost a year old and I have not experienced those problems.

There is very little noise with my unit when the fan isn't running. And the only times so far that the fans have kicked in were when I had it hooked to my TV as an external display. Don't get me wrong, the fans are far from silent when they do kick in, but with fairly normal use, they usually don't.

Haven't got a clue Todd, never happened to me. Mine has worked flawlessly other that I have to set the temperature to about 72 to get my desired room temperature of 68 degrees.

I have the same problem sometimes. I think that I turn it all the way clockwise then back all the way to the left or just turn it until the fans kick on. Is everything installed correctly? Won't hurt to double check and make sure the temp probe is secure.

Not sure if that is normal or not, mine does not do that however I run fairly heavy loads (800 watts) so my fan will come on and stay on for 20 seconds or more until unit cools enough. If you are running a light load that may be normal.

Sounds like it might be commerical Frig. ALL Frigs have fans, but not high spped. My no-profession opinion is Place It Somewhere It Is Not In Direct air blowing from the fan if you can. Blowing air over something usually has a cooling effect. This unit has very good accuracy specs.

Eric:Like you, I was unable to get a direct read from either of my 2 remote sensors. It, supposedly, will use the readings to "average" the temps, but like you, I would love to see a direct read-out on the face of the stat!Sorry I couldn't help you . . .Mike

Mr. Heater seems to keep improving these units. I just bought mine in September of this year, and it was manufactured in May of this year (2013). I bought it at a local big box store.The fan on this unit seems pretty quiet. Certainly not noisy as others have reported in the past. You will hear the fan, but is smooth sounding an not obtrusive. My guess is that they've improved the fan quality in these current units.

Verify the fan direction, u can see it by the indicating arows at the side of the coolers, both should have the same direction. Verify if u are using the low noise adapter it slows down the speed of the fan.

I'm not sure, I just recently made a PC for a buddy of mine with this CPU and its driving me crazy. But his was a super budget build and parts that I had to assemble weren't the greatest, but still I'm getting some what the same temps. I told my buddy about the temps, and how I felt like they were a bit too high so he bought a Corsair H75 CPU fan, which I just installed last night, and even though the loads were really wacky, and not normal. It pretty much says the same temps your getting, and now my buddy even has a CPU cooler on the CPU. Funny part is, the cooler is totally blowing out cold air (comparing, my main gaming pc, which blows out hot) this CPU cooler GOTTA be working. But honestly, I have no idea, I'm trying to understand this CPU myself, I thought I did research everything, but it seems that people online are reporting that this CPU reports wrong temps in pretty much ALL temp programs for Windows. Everyone is saying look at the BIOS temps, which is only idle though. To continue on if it helps you, here's just a recent question I asked Amazon buyers, I did ask several community sites online but didnt find much help.

All there is is a little fan to cool it. I have a smaller one in the living room. Yes, when I'm in the kitchen with the 11 cu ft, I'm aware of the fan being on which assures me it is working. It isn't on often. The sound is not a bit bothersome like the last refrg/combo I had. (not Danby) It was the combo that made it so noisy.

I don't know if it's normal or not but mine does the same thing. I think that this is supposed to happen but I also think it reduces the efficiency of the unit. It blows out very cold air but does an inadequate job of cooling the room which is fairly small. Not happy.

Hmmm...not sure about the fan, but I haven't heard it and I normally sit within arm's reach of it when using it. I am not using it in a super quiet location, such as a studio, however. When packing up after two hours of use I haven't noticed that the unit is hot.

It was audible in my system.... enough so that I stopped using it. You can lower the fan speed all the way, but it was still audible, and of course it won't cool as well. When the fan is at max speed it cooled my nvidia card around 8 to 10 degrees C. Giving your video card a good cleaning will help a lot too.

It's not all that loud, but the fan does go on and off frequently. It keeps the temperature exactly where you set it.On another subject, though, the shelves while beautifully made are way to tight for many bottle types. I can't recommend this unit for that reason.

I am currently using the stock fan. At stock speeds my computer stays pretty cool, 15-20 C. When playing online games however, they go up to 40-45 which I guess isn't too bad. With higher settings on games/programs the fan then turns into something like a Bulldozer running over C4, extremely loud but does a pretty "Ok" job at keeping the CPU cool if it isn't put under anything over regular use stress. I would highly recommend getting a better fan if you have the money, but if not, you should be fine until you manage to get your hands on one.

Unit runs quiet... My Temp is set @ 49 degrees... When inside reaches 51 degrees unit kicks on & lowers it back down to 49. Been using the unit for a month....no issues
