Will one of these keep the computer tower section of my desk cool or should I get more than one?

Are you replacing the old one? If so, see if you can find the cfm (cubic feet per minute) of air movement the old has and compare it to this one.

This is a cabinet fan, I installed 1 to bring in cool air and 1 to get the heat out, on a cabinet for a wine cellar compressor. They're doing fine job. It's quiet and should do the job for your desktop, Install 1 only (It's big) at the source of the heat to bring it out.

Mine does fine for a mini computer in an entertainment system cabinet, but you might need two to keep a full on tower cool

I would start with just one. You can always add a second later, but I would be surprised if you need a second one.

I would imagine you could. But a friend of mine and my brother who work on computers don't advise having the bottom of your lap top to close to a surface so the fans have room to cool. This is why I bought this. Because I'm in my bed a lot due to spinal surgery and other medical problems. I want to do every thing I can not to have the expense of having to buy another lap top. I've added little rubber feet to keep it on the stand.

This is an inexpensive card for this type of component. Fans are better generally, but they get dusty, are cheap and tend to fail. A heat sink is what it is. It could be limited in performance in the summer if the computer is in a place that gets warm. So as usual, you pick for your situation and usage.

That was my concern as well as I have a home office and did not want to have AC or a fan blowing when I use the PC. This PC is very fast and quiet; and in respond to your question; I have never felt any heat coming from under my desk. Some PC radiate heat and acquire allot of dust which can affect the performance; I had this PC for over a year. Hope I have answered your questions.

It depends on your case. I have a full tower and I had room for 2 of these and my CPU is liquid cooled. The radiator for my CPU is mounted at the top of my case. One card cooled from the front of the case, the other through the back.

I've played games using it for a few hours, maybe 6 maximum, so yeah it should keep cool enough.Be sure to keep your entire case cool as well with proper air flow.

it comes with 1 fan i think you can add maybe 1 or 2 coolers more on this as this is not a high end case it may only be able to add 1 more maybe 2 idk i would check at there website over the case

I have two monitors on one section with my tower underneath. The build feels quite stable, I don't think it would be a problem but I can't honestly be sure.

I have one blowing in and one blowing out. I also added a cooling tray under my components. it has been over a year and it seems to be working very well.

I love the fans. They are quiet and keep the air moving. I have a Dell studio 17 with 2 hard drives and it gets noticeably hot if I accidentally unplug the fans. I also put Velcro on the battery and stand so it doesn't slide on the tray. It's only a problem when I set it down after using it.

I have 2 of these in my tower (one 4 bay and one 3 bay) and they work great. The disks fit snuggly in the bay cartridges and I can't say I notice any vibration at all. I have the fans set to run at max speed for maximum cooling (can be set variable speed) and even then the noise isn't bad. They are well made units.

You can also fit one on the right side but I put a cooling fan there instead.

The card with the 2 fans can probably cool itself and the case better.If your gonna put it in small computer case the cooler the better.If your putting the card into a mid size or full size case, the 1 fan will suffice.

If under your desk, probably. Heat will always radiate if nothing stops it.

Hi, i have 2 in my tower, the fans are really quiet but makes a little of noise.

I think so...I have a 17 in old MacBook Pro. Your computer would hang over a little on each side. It cools it only so much and my old macbook would get hot anyway. I bought mine I think over a year ago so I am guessing there may be better ones out there too.

Agree with Pbear's response. Love the fans -- I have installed three of them.
