Reddit reviews iMBAPrice USB-MFAN USB Mini Desktop Fan

After the line fills with beer is it leaving the tube? Is it leaking everywhere? A big possibility is that the tube is warmer than the keg, and that will cause the co2 to leave solution, and then you'd have co2 pockets in the tube (causing foaming). Your kegerator might have really stratified temperatures, so you could get something like this if you've narrowed down temperature as the cause.

But again, there SHOULD NOT be screen flickering. I'd suggest asking some folks at r/pcmasterrace or r/nvidia about that because it sounds more like a hardware problem...? What temps are you getting to when this starts to happen? I traditionally don't get any higher than 75-90 C at worst, and but my game room is in the basement so it's naturally quite a cool environment. If it's a warm day and I know I'll be gaming for a while I use a laptop cooling pad (Notepal X3) and then diy'd a USB fan-heatsink combo that I put on top of the laptop where the metal gets hot. This normally allows for sub 75 C temps which is more than safe. It's also noisy but I sit away from my laptop (big screen gamer) so that doesn't cause an issue.

A USB powered fan should do the trick nicely. I used to power one off of a solar battery charger when I went tent-camping to keep my tent from getting stuffy in warmer times.

You can run it off of a 12V charger or if you have a laptop like mine that keeps a USB port active for charging, there's that too.

hi, just happened upon this post while searching for other stuff in this subreddit.

If you're interested in cheap quiet USB fans I did a comparison between these in order from loudest to quietest:


bendable stem 2 blade fan -- $6.50 for a 5 pack (unbearably buzzy and really annoying to mount)

IMBAPrice plastic fan -- $7

Generic brand metal USB fan -- $7 (surprisingly quieter than the plastic one)

Summer Fruits plastic Fun Fun Fan -- $11.50 (most quiet by far)


These will all sit nicely in a hole 12cm diameter except for the hard-to-mount bendable stem fan (you can unscrew the stand for the IMBA and metal fan). I can't say exactly what makes a fan quiet, but if it's the number of blades (which it might be based on my study) then the arctic breeze fan you linked might be OK, but it would also be hard to mount.


And you can get a cheapo USB adaptor on Amazon. Don't worry about the higher amperage on the adaptors -- the fan only draws as much as it needs (0.5A is what the Fun Fun Fan says).

Boom.

With $20 leftover for that small fan and a thermometer/humidity meter, which cost a total of $10.
