" ...  The AC Infinity AIRCOM T8 has a lot of important features so that the cooling is effective for my situation. ... If you must have AVR cooling to protect your electronic equipment, I would recommend this unit.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It keeps it cool on lvl 2 fan setting, anything higher than that would start fan noise in a noticeable level.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I have had an AC Infinity cooling fan in my audio cabinet for a few years. ... It cooled the cabinet just fine but the receiver was still quite warm.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It cools off my Denon 8500.  ...  "

" ...  Since my first experience with an AIRCOM T8 about a year ago, I was quite surprised at how sturdy it felt when I unpacked it.  ...  "
comment
" ...  There is obviously not quite enough clearance above it (3.5 inches or so) I purchased one of these as I think it is cheaper than relocating the AVR.  ...  "

comment
" ...  The feet are exactly 6mm high, so purchasing "D" type weather stripping, 6 - 9mm in height is ideal.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It is quiet, noisless behind doors, and it controls the fans in the back of the cabinet.  ...  "

comment
" ...  The smart setting is great!  ...  "
comment
" ...  This unit is packed with features! ... I found that the auto and smart features are the most useful for me. ... Smart mode will basically adjust the fan speed depending on how far above or below the set temperature you determine. ... This product is great for those who need additional cooling for their AV components and want to use the smart features of this unit.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Set on 87 degrees on the “smart” auto setting, it maintains the setting by varying the fan speeds, even in a cabinet with limited openings and an ambient temp of 82 inside the cabinet.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I like the features on these units automatic thermostat temperature readings they kick on when needed and you can Adjust the fans up-and-down when needed.  ...  "
comment
" ...  My first thought was to use auto mode to switch the unit on and off as needed but the fan speeds were audible at the levels preset on the cooler. ... I then set the unit in smart mode.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It’s super quiet, and has a bunch of different auto options.  ...  "

" ...  Not really quiet, but does its job well  ...  "
comment
" ...  I restrict the fans to a speed setting of 2 to reduce noise and it still does an excellent job.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The fan speed is 4 bars of the total 5.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The T8's fans are now even quieter, and never need to run any faster than their lowest speed.  ...  "
comment
" ...  So far, so good and does the intended job.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It Works Great and it keeps my Amp at 85 degrees at the lowest fan speed.  ...  "
comment
" ...  If it should ever get hotter for some reason, the higher speeds will automatically kick in to take care of it!  ...  "
comment
" ...  When/if the fans fail I'll try modding it with Noctua quiet fans and that should make this thing amazing, again this is still a good buy regardless.  ...  "
