GDSTIMEQuiet 80mm Fan, 12V 3PIN 80mm x 80mm x 10mm Brushless DC Fan for CPU Coolers

I have a new fan-less dual core i7 based mini PC with 8 gb ram, 256 gb ssd with just 2 side vents but the core temp kept rising to 90 C and I was worried I'd cause damage and the aluminum case was almost too hot too touch. There was room to fit this fan inside by taking the bottom plate off, drilling some air holes and fitting the fan to suck air in from the bottom. The small motherboard even had a CPU fan connector. Now the case is just luke warm to touch and the core temp sits around 40-50C depending on load. Intel N3540's are fine as they are designed for tablets without fans but i7 CPU's need fans even lap top versions. Use two washers to stand off the fan from the bottom else the blade will rub.

A good or better than original. Nice and quite.

It's not the greatest fan in the world, but it does the job. A little on the noisy side, but for 12 bucks you can't expect perfection. I just placed an order for a 2nd one, the first one died after 8 months, but again, it's only 12 bucks, I'd say I got my money's worth.

I use this on a Thermaltake SD101 case and it’s the only native fan (I added others via case modification) and after 7+ years of constant 24/7 use this is the 3rd fan I’ve replaced.It’s good, does what it’s supposed to and isn’t noisy.
