The fan is pretty strange in its design since we've yet to see anything which even remotely resembles the unit. Overall though, a fancy design won't always get your computer running cooler. With the onslaught of small formfactor PC's and VIA's EDEN motherboards a noiseless fan such as this could fill out the role of home entertainment system, or MP3 player quite well.

Additionally, since the fan is just the right size for a powersupply, it might be useful there where it can serve as a less noisy fan for cooling the internal electronics. In this task the verax fans might just ultimately be suited best for. Given that the internal thermistor which measures temperature and consequently adjusts fan speed is located in a small recess in one of the motor braces. That location makes it ideal for tracking the input air temperature and pretty bad at adjusting to the temperature of the actual heatsink.

For our tests we had to make a small adjustment to the placement of this internal thermistor in order to get some respectable performance out of the Verax P14. Prior to this very minor and very simple adjustment the fans were stuck at a lower rotational speed which resulted in temperatures on the 100W test platform in excess of 107 degrees Celsius. To make the fan react to the actual temperature of the heatsink we moved the thermistor out from its location and bent it is so that it would be in contact with the tips of the aluminum heatsink fins.
