LED Slot Fan Card

i was looking to purchase this slot fan i was wondering if anyone else possess it.
does it blow air out or just suck heat from your videocard or where ever placed?

It may work, but will only really be useful if the card in question desperately needs extra cooling. Otherwise, cable-gami and zip ties will get you better net results.

what is the fan config on your PC... there might be a quieter solution

it sucks heat from your vid card and blows it to where hopefully other fans can get it...i dont really care about noise at all but i suggest not going this way...tie up ur cables and get another fan or something...a side placed fan maybe

edge fans rattle like crazy unless you can find one with a dummy pci slot connector...

OH my god your temp's are crazy high... Wow I have a xp2400 running at 2.3gig and my temps are only cpu 36'c and sys 27'c and I just got done playing Doom 3 for like hour and a half you need more fans and better breathing.. tie up your cables use the things from a bread bag if you gatta and try to keep your air flowing dont have 2 fans both drawing air out as good as that sounds all it does is make them work against each other.. I have a fan like the one you are looking at right below my vid card blowing out I have 2 80mm blow holes in the top blowing out I have 2 80mm in the front below the floppy drawing in and a 60mm delta in the back drawing in and a 92mm delta on my SI-97 blowing down at the cpu... and the last one is in the side drawing in air for the vid and cpu to share.. bottom line the cool air comes in from the bottom and goes out the top heat rises any way so I am just helping it..

Based on the photo, it doesn not blow out the back., but just around the case.

Those temps you have aren't terrible if you don't have some monster fans and heatsinks, but you really should do some cable management, as they should be better. Even a pretty quiet rig like that shouldn't have a case temp more than 5C over ambient (typically 25-30C).

Spend some time getting cables out of the way, and make sure to have an intake fan (even at the expense of exhaust, unless your case has lots of air holes about it) for positive pressure.
