Anyone know about PCI slot fans?

Does anyone know about fans that sit in PCI slots? How well do these work? Especially for cooling video cards and getting better airflow.

They work quite well , lowered my vid card 10 degrees celsius.

Good idea to peel off the label on the underside and put a drop of good-quality oil (TriFlow or automatic-transmission fluid) on the sleeve bearing every six or eight months. They move a fair amount of air but no one believes the "42cfm" rating they typically advertise. Maybe 20cfm?

I use them in my rigs, they always bring video card temps way way down.
