Introduction

As you well all know, heat is not exactly the best friend of computers. The higher the temperatures in your case are, the higher the risk of problems to occur, from the excessive heat. Well Zerus, knew that, and brought a solution to the market, the Zerus Twin Turbo Fan.

It comes packaged in a small box, just a little bigger than the fan itself, and includes 4 (four) screws to mount it into an available 5.25" bay. For power, it includes a 4 (four) pin molex connector that can be piggy-backed if necessary. In other words it has both male and female ends on the connector.

Upon opening the box you see the heart of it, on one of the broad flat sides, there are 2 fans. Both are used to extract air from your system and propel it out through the front grill. Now the front of the fan comes with an angled slotted grill that allows you to, either have the air vented to the left or the right of your pc. Your choice!

Installation of this fan is just as easy as taking it out of the box. All it takes is,
1. Gaining access to the available bay
2. Inserting the fan.
3. Securing it with the screws provided.
4. Plugging it in.
And that's it!

Once you power up, right away you will begin to feel the air being propelled from your PC, up to at least 4 (four) feet away. Not bad!

Now I recorded the temperatures of my system before and after I installed the fan, as you can see below, my case temperature dropped 9°, from 93°F to 84°F. My CPU temperature dropped by an even larger margin, 13°, from 120° to 107°. Now that isn't bad!

Conclusion
I must say that overall I was rather impressed with the Zerus Twin Turbo Fan. Even after thinking very long and hard, the only real "con" I see about this product is that if you do not have an available 5.25" bay, you won't be able to install it, other than that it's a great fan.
