I'm running it on a separate airplane 3s lipo 1500mah I haven't seen any smoke yet but the fan runs so fast and keeps my temps under 130 is that ok?

Using it on velineon 3500 brushless with both 3s 5200mah and a 2s without any problems, but the fan is being powered from the receiver tap.

I would think as long as the temp is down there should not be a problem. Just keep an eye on it.

I do not know about running it with lipo's. I will say that the fan runs very fast and loud on my NiMH 7.2v. I would just concentrate on the motor temp and call it good.

honestly I haven't experience any and I'm running an R9 290 in there. Air flow will be restricted, I just swap out the intake fans for some SP and dropped my GPU temp from mid 40's to high 30's on idle, and no PSU problem as long you have the intake fan on the PSU facing down. I love this case. So clean and minimalist, I would not crossfire/sli in unless they were some Blower Cards.

I've had mine for a month (the blue N120-13GBL with the longer battery) and I haven't needed a cooler -- I've left it on, on battery power, all night cycling through a long podcast playlist and it did fine, no heat problem at all.

nvm, i kinda see what you mean now, i switched from extra performace mode to battery saving mode the fan started running really loud.

well i tell you this I run the fan on a real small car battery about twice or three times a bigger than a motor cycle battery and it runs super fast at highso low is little faster than the regular fans, the fan works and saves energy or it gives you a breeze, better than the small fans that you see at walmart,it works , the price is another thing, its light the size is big and the fans are thin and not wide.

I know this fan moves some air. On a 12.6V battery I get a drop to 11.7 while running but not sure how many amp hours are used up. I put this in my camper bathroom and it works like a champ.

I don't think it's normal. That is why I returned mine. Would not run for more than a few minuets before overheating and the safety would shut it off. I know of people who have had success with it but not me and looks like not you either. I'd return it because overheating that quickly could lead to blown fuses or fire.

I have read in other posts to let your copter and battery cool. So after each time you run a battery let it cool a bit. Also let the battery cool before charging.

Thomas, That is exactly what my husband is doing with this fan. The max temp is up to 140 F (60 C). It works great, better than expected. He is also using a speed controller on it. It is really quiet too.

Mine doesn't get that hot or even warm. It has a small cooling fan that isn't loud. I haven't mounted mine in a vehicle but under a front seat might be a good spot. You want to keep the 12 volt cables as short as possible, especially if you want to run close to the rated output.

The internal fan is very quite but not up to the task of high loads (20+ amps) for long periods. I hooked a 120mm 12v computer fan up to the terminals and just place it on top of the unit with the fan pulling air through the power supply and out the fan. I can touch the rear heat sink now when I have heavy loads, before it was way to hot. 12 volt computer fans can handle voltage from 6-15v just fine. Just a tip.

I have the dual fans (4000 cfm) ... using to cool a 355 SBC they are quality units, work fine, however, they draw a lot of juice and are noise. I had to go to a 140 amp. alternator to carry the load. I'm going to put seperate switches so I can run 1 fan on cool days and 2 only when needed to drop the load and noise. engine mounted in a '74 260Z roadster conversion with tight engine bay so cooling, even with an alum. rad. and ceramic coated headers a task. Fans did the trick.

I'm using the stock fan with an i7-4770. No heat problems, and it's pretty quiet.

Yes, I run 5400KV leopard 3650 motor on 3S Lipo with out even braking a sweat, no heat issues at all. Hope this helps.

I think you will be fine using the stock fan with the usage that you laid out. It's a really impressive little chip, enjoy.

I am using two units on my RV, one for the coach batteries and another for the chassis batteries. The RV is outside and our temps got down to +14 deg F last week. There does not seem to be any problem with them operating at least down to that temp.

2s lipo for sure, 3s will run hot and cause the esc to do a thermal shutdown after about 2 mins on a Stampede 4x4 geared 11/52 with proline trenchers
