## Description

desertcart.com: AC Infinity AIRPLATE T7, Quiet Cooling Fan System 12" w/Thermostat Control | Control, for Home Theater AV Cabinets : Electronics

Review: Works Great! Just what I needed! - This thing rocks! I needed something to cool my new home theater rack with a glass door. It is now much warmer inside the unit than the previous "monster" rack I had with open shelves. I looked quite a bit but kept finding all kinds of fans for computers. I needed one like this that didn't need me to wire anything and I could plug into the wall. An added bonus to me is the thermostat controller. I didn't do anything fancy. I just drove a couple of finishing nails into the back of the shelf above my receiver and hung the fan assembly on the nails. The package does come with nice plastic templates to cut precise holes for the fan assembly and the thermostat if you want to mount them in a totally enclosed cabinet. Mine has open shelves in the back, I just wanted to move some air. The USB cord between the fans and the thermostat is long enough that I could place the thermostat controller on the top shelf next to my Monster Power supply with some leftover. The power cord from the thermostat with the little brick or wall mushroom is long enough to make it to the wall outlet with no problem. I set the thermostat controller on the shelf and it looks fine. There is a temperature probe wire attached to it that I hung down the front of the shelves to measure the temperature inside the cabinet. The first time I used it while watching a movie, I was not satisfied with the amount of cooling. Reason, I had the fans blowing into the cabinet over the receiver. This was maybe cooling the receiver like I wanted but it was just blowing a lot of hot air up over the rest of the electronics stack. I pulled the fan housing off the nails, turned it around and hung it back on the nails in the opposite direction to exhaust the hot air off the receiver out the back of the cabinet. That did the trick. I was able to set the temperature down to 76 degrees (my choice for now) and it easily holds that temperature. The temperature probe by the way is hanging just above the receiver. I am confident that it is being cooled like I want now. I've watched 4 or 5 movies since installing this unit and it does not make any perceptible noise when my home theater is blasting away. It maintains the set temperature steady as a rock! I keep it running after I finish watching the movie to allow the unit to cool down after I shut everything down and the fans are very quiet. Then I just have to unplug it from the wall. I am very satisfied. This thing was easy to set up, cools adequately and is quiet. The thermostat controller does have 2 USB ports so that you can add up to two more fans if you need more cooling power. I have had no problems with this quality product. If I do decide I need another fan, I would not hesitate to order another one.
Review: Fantastic product, even better customer support - I installed these with relative ease, including a 2 fan expansion for the other cabinet AC Infinity AI-CFD120BA Dual 120 Quiet Cabinet Fan, Black , for 4 fans total. The control unit is simple to operate. So far the performance seems to be good enough but the noise is troublesome. At low and medium, both pair of fans have a bit of a rattle, grinding sound. At high all you hear is the purr of the air (which is still quite loud). I've built PCs before and fans should not sound like this, especially at low speed. I couldn't put the thermal sensor directly over the hottest part of my amp, as it would reflect a higher temp than the ambient air and constantly run on high ("smart mode"), so probe placement is important. My entertainment center is very much enclosed, so I feel like the performance is a bit hindered without an intake. It seems like it has to run a little harder than I expected to keep the temp around 75, even without pushing my amp. I have an Onkyo receiver, XBox, AppleTV, modem, and router in one cabinet (with the probe). A DirecTV box, bluray player, and XBox Kinect in the other. In all, I'm somewhat satisfied, but am left wishing for a quieter system that doesn't have to run as hard. With quieter fans, I'd rate 4.5 stars. *****UPDATE March 2, 2015***** AC Infinity has just shown some of the most incredible customer service I've received in many years. After posting my initial 3 star review on desertcart, I was contacted (within just a couple of days) with information that they had discovered a hardware bug in the thermostat controller that is the cause of the grinding fan noise, and that they have the updated model rolling out of the factory. They immediately shipped me one priority mail, which I installed today when I got back from my vacation. I am pleased to report that the low/medium speed fan noise is resolved and the only noise I now hear is the whir of the moving air. It sounds exactly as I would expect it now. As a bonus, the back-light on the display (which was always on even if the system was idle, and is quite bright) now has a timeout function. Although I didn't note this as an annoyance in my original review, after having it for a while, the bright light at night was a bit distracting. This product improvement is just another example of a company paying attention to what reviewers have to say about their products and making it right. Oh, and Jeremy with AC infinity sent a letter with the replacement apologizing for the inconvenience and also left me a voice mail while I was on vacation asking how the updated unit worked. I think that's pretty incredible in this day and age. Needless to say, I'm updating my review to 5 stars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a push/pull setup, or are the fans moving the same direction?**
A: It pull the air in, but it can be reverse if you take 8 screws and change over

**Q: Is there a way to control the display lighting?**
A: The display light comes on whenever you hit one of the buttons to change a setting, and it stays on for about 5 seconds and then turns off. I don't see any way to change this behavior. The very slim manual ( which is also found at http://www.acfdserver.com/manuals/AC%20Infinity%20AI-ATC%20Fan%20Thermal%20Controller%20Manual.pdf ) does not say anything about this either.

**Q: Can I cut a hole with a 120mm hole saw or do I need to cut a square hole with a jigsaw?  Thanks**
A: You will need to cut (2) holes.  One for the fan assembly and one for the remote control panel. Both units come with a template to assist with the hole size and shape.

**Q: Hi, is there a way to change the temperature to celsius?**
A: Yes on the temputure control you can set it to celisius.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, even better service.
*by D***F on June 10, 2016*

I purchased two of these units plus an auxiliary fan attached to one of the controllers for a 14 foot long desk I built in my home office. The desk has three seating stations with an under-desk PC in each, and six 27" LCD monitors spread across the desk, which fits perfectly across the 14 feet! Also under the desk to one side is a floor register for my home HVAC system. One of my biggest concerns was the furnace generating a lot of heat that would get partially trapped under the desk. Between the furnace heat and the heat generated by the PC's, I decided to install the AC Infinity fan units on the top surface of the desktop, one behind each pair of LCD's. The controllers and temp sensor are mounted underneath the desk. For the first couple of months, everything worked great! The fans are quiet, and move the air very well. I thought I would write a review focused not so much on the product itself, but rather what happened a couple of months in, and in particular on the service from AC Infinity. So after a couple of months working fine, one of my fans started making a clicking noise that was just loud enough to start driving me crazy. Shortly after that, one of the controller units went wacky -- the controller LCD stopped working and it wouldn't run the fans. If I unplugged the fans, the LCD came back on after the controller rebooted; plug in the fan again and the LCD went dark. So I called AC Infinity for help. Tommy in support answered the phone immediately. No phone tree hell, no hold time. Live call answer by someone who knew what they were talking about. We went through a few steps to confirm the troubleshooting I had already done, and Tommy concluded we needed to do an RMA. He sent me a pre-paid UPS label and mentioned that AC Infinity had just received a new batch of units with upgraded components, and I should be getting one of those in exchange. Not sure if that's what I got, or how to tell. So all around, these are classy guys that really stand behind their product and provide no-nonsense quality support. The only feedback I would add is, given the detailed troubleshooting and documentation of the steps to reproduce the problem that I provided, it would have been nice if they offered to cross-ship the replacement. But I got the unit six days after I shipped out the old one, so that's not such a big deal. Thanks Tommy, and AC Infinity -- great job.
