Antec cyclone blower

I bought this at compusa and I was wondering if it works. Its suppose to blow warm air out.

If you do have a spare slot under your video card, it will pull most of the video card's heat straight out the back. People have decided they don't put out nearly the amount of air advertised, but I think it's still worth a few bucks if you have the room and don't have a side blowhole or Card Cooler already. BTW, you may want to peel off the square label on the bottom and oil the bearing with some TriFlow oil, then replace the label and use shipping tape to make sure it stays on.

hell, I only bought it because it was only $8 at millisec. 42cfm is not realistic, you can clearly tell thats it not. 15cfm is more reasonable

I found it to be useful, and it lowered my case temps by 1-2C.

Rather than put it right below my GeForce2 pro I put a LAN card in PCI number 1 and the blower below for the reason that I thought the blower may interfere with the fan on the video card and the LAN card now allows the (rather crappy) GeForce fan to do what its maker intended!

but 1-2c lower worth $20 or whatever it costs?

I got one, and found it was nice because it was quite. Adding airflow without more fan noise can be quite challenging sometimes.
