AC Infinity AIRPLATE T8 White, Quiet Cooling Dual-Fan System 6" with Thermostat Control, for Home Theater AV Cabinets

It took a while to find the right fan for my project. We removed an old oven and added a microwave into a new closed space. I’m working on new building new drawers underneath now. I may add another air vent later, if needed. Anyway, I was worried it the microwave might overheat so I added this two fan system. There’s also a fan underneath the microwave and it draws air in and then the fan in photo draws air out on the outside. I set it up so that the fan turns on at 90 degrees right now. I very happy because I don’t have to manually turn the fan on when I gets hot. Also because it looks great and is super quiet. It really works awesome. I had looked at fans that were specifically made for putting in walls and there was nothing even close to quality, quiet-ness, options and price point. This is basically every a really I am computer USB fan. I really couldn’t be happier. In fact if this fan ever broke, all I would have to do is buy another usb computer fan and replace it. Computer fans are really easy to find and they work terrific. That said, I have no reason to buy it from another company I’m just making a point that these are just really high-end computer fans. If they can work in a $3000 computer, they can work for a $300 microwave. This company makes a really awesome products. Fyi, I did scratch the white paint on the edge on one of the fans a little when installing it. I was trying to sand some paint on the wall. Had I done it again, I would have uninstalled the fan before sanding or covered it with some painter’s tape. It really was my fault.

Replaced an entertainment center and found that the new one had nowhere near the airflow and clearance that the old one had, causing a couple electronics to overheat. I found this set and it has been an amazing find that exceeded expectations. First, the quality of these fans and the controller are fantastic. The build quality is perfect, no cheap fittings or material to be found. Installation is a breeze if you just follow the instructions and the provided template. The fans fit like a glove. Setup is simple, plug in the fans to the controller and a few simple preference settings and you are done. The cabinet stays ventilated and cool, one fan flowing intake at the bottom and one exhaust at the top. Where I was seeing overheating warnings above 100-110 Fahrenheit and beyond, this setup has kept the temperature well below 100F with a PS5 running and audio equipment. Well worth the purchase and peace of mind.

Answers to questions I had: Do the fans go in the same direction?- no, one sucks air in, and one blows it out. Do both sides of the fan have a cover?- no. One side will be a "wire cage" that really isn't decorative, so if you're putting this in a cabinet, I recommend putting the fan in the back or somewhere that the other side of the fan won't also be visible. THIS SYSTEM IS AMAZING! I just put this in an entertainment unit that has a closed door where my PS4 Pro is. Before putting this system in, the cabinet would be well over 100* with the door closed. Now, the thermostat reads 79 after playing games that ran hot for over 3 hours. I can't even feel any temperature difference when I open the cabinet, except it almost feels slightly cooler than the room. The system was actually cooling my PS4 even while it had been running for hours, where it would usually be pretty hot even in an open air environment, my PS4 was barely even warm. The fans are insanely quiet. They really are nearly silent. I can't hear them when the cabinet is closed, and even when it's open, I couldn't hear it unless I had my face in the cabinet. They came with templates for the holes that needed to be cut, which made installing them very easy. I'd recommend a Dremel or something with a circular blade, but I used a drywall knife and it worked fine. Was just a lot of work. The only complaint I have, is that the hardware is very long, so it sticks out the back of my cabinet pretty considerably. Worth every penny of $100, and I'll definitely be buying more systems from them.

This set of controller and two speakers was easy to install (EXCELLENT templates!), looks really great after install, and appears to be doing an excellent job of cooling. The only thing that mars satisfaction with the product is that the fans are not nearly so quiet as the manufacturer would have you believe. Even on low speed they are audible and on high they are quite annoying.

Good system. I used this to turn an Ikea BESTA with a metal mesh door into a computer cabinet, and I was able to fit both fans onto the flimsy backboard. I attached the controller to the front of a shelf with command hook/loop fasteners. The fans run quietly and efficiently. The "smart" mode is the best. Nothing has burned out... yet!

I just bought a small upright freezer and stashed it in a cabinet I had already built. I drilled holes to help the heat vent, but I was still worried it would get too hot inside and burn out the condenser. I was going to rig-up my own system with old computer fans, but I wanted more control over when the fans would turn on and off. Enter this great system. If you are super handy (and I am), you can go the DIY computer fan route with arduino etc..., but if you are not super handy or just don't want that hassle, this is the system for you. It is well worth the higher price, IMHO, if it saves the life of my freezer and all the food inside, not to mention the hands-off convenience of setting my trigger temp and then letting the unit decide when best to turn on and off with the heat sensor. They provide plastic templates so you can trace where to cut out for the fans and where to pre-drill holes for the screws. They also diagram the best placement for intake and outflow positioning of the fans. My only minor quibble is specific to my set-up: its a very tight squeeze in the cabinet and the USB plugs into the fans and control unit stick out perpendicular to the plugs. I solved this issue by buying right-angle USB adapters, but just something to keep in mind when measuring your cabinet for installation.

So far I am really happy with this set up. This is definitely a premature review, as I have yet to really put this entire system to the rest considering I am waiting on internet/cable installation, so the cabinet I installed these in is empty, but despite the necessity still to test the product accurately, I really like the set up so far. Installation was a breeze. I decided to bring some "2020" vibes to my "custom" IKEA media center (sounds fancy/, right? Not really - they offer configurators on some of their product lines now, which allows you to get somewhat creative with your component choices) and installed this ventilation system. I decided not to mount the controller and instead affixed it to a small stand using some zip ties. So far the functions operate according to the description, with one fan acting as an inlet, while the other acts as an exhaust (fan direction can be changed via provided instructions). The programmable settings are intuitive and they really thought out a lot of the features, like being able to shut off the screen while the system is still on/in use/in program&alarm modes, and the automatic thermostat temperature setting. For my configuration there was a lot of wire slack, but I was able to round it all up using the protruding machine screw posts to provide a really sleek installation. Pro Tip: Don't forget that if you are using the T8 set up without any additional ventilation fans, you can daisy chain one fan to another and then simply use a single USB to power both fans from the controlle, which substantially clears wire clutter. I will update once I have some more usage time with this set up, but I highly recommend it at least for the (seemingly working) theory, overall ease of installation, and great aesthetic.

Great product! Purchased this for an ikea besta tv set. It helps to improve airflow for the compartment that holds the WiFi router. Installing it was a breeze and it really helped to decrease the temperature.

This is a very reliable product, easy to set up. The fans can be separated from their frame to reverse their direction to push or pull air as needed. You can use the control buttons to configure this system in many ways to suit different scenarios. It includes a printed colour manual that is easy to read. I am using it to cool an AV rack housed in a cupboard. I set it to adjust fan speed based on temperature, and to beep if it exceeds a specific temperature. The power adaptor included in the box has a US plug.

Easy and well put vent system. Looks great when mounted 👌🏻

Perfect for my enclosed A/V setup. The smart mode works great! You can reverse the fan directions easily.

Bought them for a friend and he love them

Mechanical fan system by AC Infinity for heat management in a tight kitchen cabinet system for air-flow around refrigerator equipment. Price seemed too expensive for white color versus black color for the system (in my mind - should be same price), but hopefully cheaper than replacing a new fridge. Looks nice in off-white cabinetry.
