VERY NOISY!!!!! but you should feel the breeze this sucker puts off!!! Droped my Northbridge temp to 23C :D. This is just a very old fan that i got out of a old power supply. very affective!

Probably won't be effective for long. Running a 5 volt fan at 12 volts is just like overclocking. It shortens its life considerably. Be wary

Probably is better with 7v, more power & longer life :-)
