AIRPLATE S3, Quiet Cooling Fan System 6" with Speed Control, for Home Theater AV Cabinets

I’m using the AC Infinity AirPlate S9 at the rear of my TV cabinet, paired with an AIRCOM T9 on top of a Denon AVR. The two link together easily and work exactly as intended — drawing hot air out of the cabinet and keeping temperatures under control. Build quality is excellent and feels solid. Installation is straightforward, and one thing I really like is how easy it is to reverse the fan direction depending on whether you want to exhaust hot air or pull cool air in. Once installed it’s unobtrusive, quiet, and does its job without any fuss. When paired with the AIRCOM controller, it becomes a really effective cooling solution for enclosed AV cabinets. Highly recommended if you need reliable ventilation in a cabinet or rack.

I purchased the AC Infinity fans to install in a new electronics cabinet I was building to help keep myour systems cool. I purchased both the set that have the controller and an eXtra s9 3 fan unit to use as an air intake. The fans are incredibly well made. The aluminum face plate has a nice brushed metal look to it. NOTHING about the fans or controller feels cheap. I would definitely buy them again. Installation was easy. The fans and the controller come with plastic templates that you can place on the side of the cabinet to mark where to cut. I drilled the 4 corners of my marked out area and used a jigsaw to cut the holes. The entire installation of the 2 fans and controller took about an hour. Operation is simple. The instructions are in English, include pictures, and actually make since. Programming the controller is as simple as pressing the up or down arrow to change your set point temp. You have the option so to set your fans to Auto, on, off, and smart setting. There is also an option to set a temp buffer of 2 or 4 degrees for the fans to turn off once the set point is reached. It's probably one of my favorite settings because the fans don't have to run all the time. The fans are quiet and move a lot of air. There is also an alarm temp setting to alert you if your cabinet is too hot. My only suggestion for anyone purchasing this product is to get some velcro cable ties so you can bundle up the extra wire. The fans come with plenty of cable to reach the fan controller. The cables are standard USB so if you need a longer one a USB extension cable could be used. Overall I am impressed. This is a great product for anyone who wants professional quality and results.

AC Infinity has always done right by me and this is no exception. I bought this fan because I installed a mini fridge in a kitchen cabinet. I had drilled out some ventilation holes but they weren't doing enough to get the fridge to work properly. I installed this fan and it did the trick. The quality of their products is second to none. Even the packaging gives you a feeling of quality and it's just cardboard. The product itself looks great and works just as described. It comes with a template to cut out any of the wall or cabinet where you are installing it. The fans run ultra quiet and are very smooth. It comes with a USB or power adapter. I opted for the power adapter to make sure that it was getting the correct amount of power to make sure that it was working as it needed to. I have the fan on high and you can't hear it at all. Moves plenty enough air for my needs. There aren't any cons to this product. The price is extremely reasonable so don't even bother looking anywhere else.

I bought one 4" (80mm) AC Infinity fan without the controller to cool the enclosed CPU section of my desk. I have a desktop computer housed in the desk CPU enclosure that puts off a substantial amount of heat and within 1-2 hours, I measured the temperature inside the desk CPU enclosure to be around 84F. Electronic components typically don't like being run in temperatures higher than 85F and will have a reduced lifespan if they are run hotter than 85F. My desk already had a preexisting opening from under the desk surface (where my feet go) to the top of the CPU enclosure. This opening was designed to allow monitor cables to be run from the top of the desk into the CPU compartment and measured 3.9" x 6.9". I installed the fan (blowing out) at the top of the opening and closed off the remaining bottom portion with a plate. The AC Infinity fan runs off an integrated USB port located on the back of my computer and (seemingly without effort) keeps the desk CPU enclosure at almost room temperature (plus maybe 1-2 degrees). Note: I did NOT have to use the USB "turbo" converter that came with the fan. I also did not drill any new ventilation holes into the desk CPU enclosure for air intake. It would appear that the natural 1mm cracks around the closed doors on both sides of the desk CPU enclosure are sufficient for allowing room temperature air to flow into the desk CPU enclosure. The really cool thing (no pun intended :)) is that when the computer goes to sleep, it not only stops producing heat but ALSO shuts down the integrated USB port which in turn shuts off the AC Infinity fan. It is a perfect system that negates the need for the optional AC Infinity fan controller. The AC Infinity fan runs so quietly that in a dead silent room, I can't tell if the slight hum I hear is from the AC Infinity fan or the louder fan located in my computer's power supply within the cabinet. I HIGHLY recommend this fan for this application! I have also used the AC Infinity 6" (120mm) fans in my much larger home entertainment cabinets and they also perform very well and very quietly. Update: After writing this review, I tried running the fan on the low setting and the temperature inside the CPU enclosure did begin to (very slowly) creep up. Also, on the low setting, the slight hum disappears (to my ears anyway). So, the fan running on high setting does add to the hum. I'm going to watch to see if on the low fan setting the temp stops rising at some point. If not, I'll run the fan on the high setting and not worry about it. I still don't need to use the "turbo" wall USB adapter that claims a 25% increase of airflow. But, it is nice to know I have that option if I add heat producing components to my desk's CPU enclosure.

All you have to do is open the package to know it's a high quality product. You know how you get stuff on Amazon and it's basically loose in a box with no instructions, well this is the opposite! The box is worth saving. Haven't installed the Fan yet as my project to wall mount it to circulate air from a gas fireplace isn't ready yet. Tested it and it works very well, and very quite. Removed the faceplate because I need to paint it. It's actually a shame because it has a brushed aluminum black anodized finish which is perfect. Faceplate grills are rubber mounted to reduce noise, just another example of quality.

Solidly built and easily converts from push to pulling air. The fans are very quiet, ideal if you are using in a media or av cabinet.

Good performance. Been using this for several projects.

I have a few of AC Infinity products for ventilation of AV equipment. I would recommend any of their products

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.
