AC Infinity MULTIFAN S5, Quiet Dual 80mm USB Fan, UL-Certified for Receiver DVR Playstation Xbox Computer Cabinet Cooling

I use these, they're not bad

Depends on the receiver, how you're using it, the ambient temperature of the room, etc.. But think about this way: the heat coming out of those vents isn't going anywhere - it's just trapped in the inch of space between the receiver and the bottom of the shelf. It's not doing the receiver any good.

These things give off a lot of heat, and one of the thing they tell you is to give the vents as much room as possible to allow air movement, to draw the heat out of the unit.

Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable with an inch; however, if you don't have a choice, maybe see if you can set a USB fan up on or around it somehow to draw the hot air out. Something like this.

the advice to move the receiver was unintentionally ambiguous regarding where to move it. I could't speculate whether the inverse is best practices (i suspect it's not). I've got these fans on top of my amps/receivers- which keep everything cool, even during "concerts" pumping

USB fans are a good option if you have a screen or egg crate lid! If you're not using a lid, you can get clip on fans that attach to the rim of your tank and can be angled downwards. I don't suggest using frozen water bottles or ice packs. As they melt they can cause temperature fluctuations which can stress out your lotl.

The cord is very thin and just closes in the door. Here are fans I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IJ2J2K0/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apap_DjA8mJSm1bMoc

Hey there. i know im late to this post but my x7 gets the same problem really hot within 10 -15 minutes. I found a a way to ventilate the x7 and these fans keep the x7 cool to the touch for hours. https://www.amazon.com/AC-Infinity-MULTIFAN-Receiver-Playstation/dp/B00IJ2J2K0

Its cheap and worth getting to protect and enjoy your g6 for years to come hope this help someone.

I don't have any pictures, but I just bought these and put them on top just like the last picture.

i used these due to having power usb already in my cab. also, this has 3-speeds. it fit perfectly for my cab.

They’re usb powered so I just plugged into an adapter for an outlet.

These are the fans I used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IJ2J2K0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_VEimFb07EZBFG

It’s these fans here:

I don’t even know which way they need to be placed for best ventilation.

Thanks! Here a link to the fans on Amazon.

You can use these. I'm assuming an 80mm hole. USB powered for ease of use.

I play via open RCT2 on my late 2011 macbook pro. I elevate my computer with a stack of books on the right side, and some external fans blowing up on the left side. With that set up, the internal fans are going at their normal speed as if my system was idle on the desktop.

This is what I bought for it, one is on top, one in back: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IJ2J2K0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Lol I bought 80mm fans to test out. And they help a little https://www.amazon.com/AC-Infinity-MULTIFAN-Receiver-Playstation/dp/B00IJ2J2K0

I was thinking into buying the 120mm version that is 2 fans and mount them in the corners of the cabinet. Maybe doing 1 intake in the top right, and 1 exhaust on the top left.

NAH

His point makes sense. I totally get wanting things to look nice though. How about a compromise? Just cut a hole in the back and put in a mini usb fan like this one. Ventilation that you can't see.

Nice. Just yesterday I put my router on top of these. It isn't a ton of power but it seems fine at the moment. It's better than nothing. I just wanted to reduce the soak a bit.

No extra steps. The fans are USB powered and there is an included 120 plug.

What are you feeding it from? PC?
I experience this cut outs through HDMI when my PC is not rebooted for some time and have all the memory eaten. Restart helps for a month or so.
Also such cut outs can happen when HDMI board is overheated. Try putting small PC fan on top of your receiver if it's in tight space and don't have enough ventilation. You can feed fan from USB port of your receiver if you are handy enough or buy something like this

I'd say it's premature to trash it.

Just buy usb fans like these. I don’t understand why you cant

I did the exact same setup but I picked the version half as tall and it was a mistake. This is so much better. I put in two in/out fans in the lower shelf below the console (super quiet that and low power I don't mind forgetting to turn it off). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IJ2J2K0/

oh sure. yes they are super quiet even on highest setting and it dosent pick up in my recordings at all but pushes some serious airflow through! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IJ2J2K0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use cheap shoe racks like these , Velcro wire ties, and if heat is a concern a usb fan or two can work wonders.

I bought this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01H1RDJOI?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title for my enclosed cabinet to take away the guessing. I have same setup..(kinda) but with us-48 and a xg-16 with these exhaust fans https://www.amazon.com/AC-Infinity-MULTIFAN-Receiver-Playstation/dp/B00IJ2J2K0/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=usb+exhaust+fan&qid=1589271923&sr=8-3 my temperature hovers between 80 - 84 degrees with ambient basement room temperature of 65 - 70. Both might be a good investment to keep your cabinet happy. Although I'm planning on upping my game to 120v fans witch are faster and speed controlled.😲GL

Ok so, idk how much work you want to invest, but, a hole saw for the hole and vent fans, pushing air out, to keep the PC from getting too hot. I would put

These are what I use and I have two of the 120 mm ones one of which blows out of the back of the cabinet and the other sits on top of the consul blowing heat away from it so it doesn’t get sucked back in… I know it seems a bit much but for a gaming console that’s as powerful as mini gaming PCs it’s great. And it’s almost not audible when running.

It is around 145 F. https://imgur.com/a/H9Xzspu . I have these fans running on them to cool it down : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IJ2J2K0 .

That stuff will probably be fine without a ton of airflow. All of that is passively cooled anyway.

This is kind of exciting because she's teeing you up for purchasing a new network cabinet. Dont forget to hide the cords running to/from it with something like this.

Alternatively, if you are just going to tuck them away in a regular "kitchen cabinet" or somewhere similar, these little usb powered fans are fantastic for airflow. They are designed for electronics like this. One of those devices probably has a usb port that can power them so you dont even need to plug anything else in.

I have and i7 mini as well and its a great little machine, just that as you said, it does have some thermal management issues. Here are some stuff that you can do to:

1. Apple wants its products to be super quiet, so they purposely don't allow the Macs fans to spin faster until the cpu is VERY hot and thermal throttling. The 1st and easiest thing you can do is to get an app called MacsFanControl. MacsFanControl is an app that allows you to control your Macs fan speed. You can set it to run at either a constant speed/rpm all the time or you can set it to run the fans based on the CPU PECI sensor temp reading. I personally set it to change the fan speed according to th CPU PECI sensor temp reading. I have it set to start speeding up the fans at about 55 degrees (celsius) and to have the max speed set to around 80 degrees. If you don't mind some extra fan noise, than macsfancontrol is a great tool! there's a free and paid version, but I suggest you just stick with the free one. If you are interested, here is the link: https://crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control

2. The second thing that you can do to your mini is to take off its bottom plastic cover. You can take it off using something like a guitar pick. If you can't figure out how to do it, you can just search up RAM upgrade videos and they show you how to. The reason why you take off the minis bottom cover is to improve the air circulation. The second thing you do is to raise the mini above the desk. Another thing you can do is put a fan directly on the bottom of the mini to better improve the air circulation. Here is a very cool project/example that someone did where they did all of what I just explained: https://egpu.io/forums/psu-cables/2018-mac-mini-cube-200mm-cooling-stand/

3. The third thing you can do is sort-of similar to the 2nd one, just that instead of raising the mini above the desk, you put it on its side using one of these special stands Mac mini Stand. You then take the bottom plastic over off to improve the airflow and as a bonus, you can buy some small 80mm fans like these ones Dual 80mm USB Fans and put them on top of the mini.

Hope this helped :)
