GDSTIME 40mm Fan, 12V 3Pin Fan, 40mm x 40mm x 20mm 4020 0.1A Brushless CPU Cooler

I picked up three of these GDSTIME 80mm x 10mm fans for my Silver Stone mini-ITX case (SG13) since it’s the only fan size that really fits in there. I’m using two as exhaust fans out the top and one for side intake. These fans are slim, which is perfect for small cases where normal 80x15mm, or 92x15mm fans just won’t work. The fans work well and are pretty quiet. they push more air flow out an into my ITX case and I noticed temps drop for 55-65c all the way down to 35c. The only issue I ran into is more about my case’s wiring and not the fans themselves: if you try to power all three fans off a single header or cheap splitter (especially sharing with an AIO pump), you can end up with not enough voltage, one of my fans powered down. The other two are working fine because they’re plugged into a different header and splitter. You can run these fans off two pins, and they’ll just spin at full speed, which is fine for most setups. Just make sure you have a good fan splitter or hub that can handle three fans at once, or split them across different headers. Running them all off one header is too much for most motherboards, especially in small cases where you also have an AIO cooler. I’m still troubleshooting the one fan that turned off, it could just be a loose wire from moving the case, but overall the other two are running great. If you need slim, quiet 80mm fans for a compact build, these do the job. Just double-check your wiring and power setup. Don't know how long they will last but I have had them for several weeks and they seem to be running fine except for the one that powered off, I still have to figure out why it did but I am pretty sure it isn't dead its likely a loose cable or power delivery issues.

I bought a low end Acer Aspire (new not re-conditioned) computer in Dec 2025 (all we needed a basic faster computer than what we had in our 13 year old Dell), the computer was making a buzzing noise that got louder after about 1 month. I called Acer they said they couldn't send me a new fan, I would have to drop off at an authorized agent to fix it would take 5-10 days without a computer.?????????? Well I am not tecnical at all, but I figured it was probably the fan, took the cover off of the computer disconnected the fan, a simple connector, and low and behold the noise stopped. I measured the fan dimensions ordered this part (2 fans for $9.00) took the old fan out replaced with the new fan from GDSTIME and the computer is now quiet. (If this fan goes, I have another ready, a $4.50 fix) I would never buy another Acer computer the first week I had to buy a new mouse, again amazon came through with a $5.00 mouse that works perfectly. The ACER computer product is the last Acer I will ever buy, and will be telling everyone I know to stay away from Acer as well

Perfect replacement for dell/hp stock fans.

I needed a very slim fan for my Hyte Revolt 3 top fan. This one works great it has a strong and quiet motor. It really pulls the hot air out well. The quality is typical for a fan. It comes with a grill, and installation is pretty easy; you can plug it into a 4pin cable. I consider this a great upgrade at a very minimal cost worth every dollar.

Somehow better than the noctua 40mm variant! I was pleasantly surprised by these little fans. They're quiet and push a decent amount of air. I'm currently using these to cool some LSI HBA 9207-8i cards with the fans screwed directly onto the heatsinks. Will buy more in the future!

Great airflow. The description didn’t say it came with nuts and bolts, so that was a pleasant surprise that saved me a trip. I have them running at full speed, and the noise is minimal; there’s a quiet hum, but I’m using it for a 3D printer, which is louder, so it’s not really a problem. If you want a completely silent fan, you’re gonna have to pay a little more.

After two days of consistent, use two out of the six fans have developed ball bearing noise; rather disappointing.... I don't have time to go through a return process and wait another two weeks to get replacements since my project is due now I will not buy again.

Work well, runs quiet. Seem to hold up well as I've not had any fail after about a year.

I have a 14yo arcade tabletop machine with an old PC in it that had a very noisy fan. This one was a perfect fit, as it had to attach to the top of the aluminium heatsink, while having enough clearance to avoid hitting the jamma daughter board that was mounted around (and almost on top of) the fan itself. This new fan is much quieter than the old one.

Fan works great however its not as quiet as it states. But i dont care about the noise, it does the job, great for its price!

Buenos abanicos de cpu

Pues así que huy que silenciosos pues no, pero si son mucho más callados que otros, eso sí tienen buen flujo y son muy delgados por lo que no estorban para nada.

No hace ruido
