Quiet, but not very effectiveApr 15, 2008
I bought this to go in my Mac Pro on my Accelero S1 because my ATI X1900 XT had an overheating problem (which I'm fairly certain is due to defective hardware, but the warentee's expired). The S1 did better at cooling than the stock fan/grill, but not as much as I needed.
I was still having to use Fan Control to ramp up my fans to max to stop artifacts from my defective card.
Adding the Turbo Module I didn't notice much difference at all except on boot up after an overheat, because the turbo fans would kick in immediately and cool the card before my Fan Control software loaded to ramp up the case fans.
I have since replaced the turbo module with a 40cfm duel pci slot fan which pulls air from the bottom and expels out the back of the case, which works a LOT better, but is of course louder (which isn't really a problem since I have to crank up my case fans anyway). This solution lowered the pci bay's ambient temperature by almost 5 degrees, where as the turbo module only lowered the card's temp a degree or two and blew air into the case, disturbing the air flow from the front.
