can you hear the fan, how quiet is it?

Yes you can hear it at every speed, even on the lowest speed. I have the two-fan 6-inch version (total 12"x6" grille. I'm a LITTLE disappointed but not enough to prevent me from purchasing another of the same for the Receiver area of my AV cabinet. Do NOT expect these fans to be silent.

How can I control when this turns on and off without having to upgrade to the model with a thermostat? If I plug it into my Yamaha receiver usb output

It has a toggle switch. Manual, but not terrible. If it's plugged into something that you turn on and off, it'll run when that component is turned on.

Is it better to Mount where the Fan pulls out the Heat from the Cabinet or better to blow Air into Cabinet?

It's better to mount where it will pull the heat OUT, thereby bringing in cooler air unimpeded by other airflow inside the cabinet. If you blow air into the cabinet, it may not be able to exit as quickly and you would get air blowing back around the inside of the cabinet and impeding airflow into the cabinet. Think of it his way, if you blow into a paper cup with a fairly small hole in it, you can only "blow" so much air in and the rest comes back out at you. to avoid this potential problem, you will get the maximum airflow through the cabinet by pulling in air that is exhausted out by the fan.

What is the size of the hole that has to be cut in the cabinet?

The fan comes with a clear plastic template to guide you. Just tape it to the cabinet wall you are mounting the fan onto. The hole is about 5 inches square. The face/lip of the fan is about 5 3/4 inches square. You also must drill 4 holes for the mounting screws - also made easy using the template. For me, it took 10 minutes to hand-saw through the thin, paneling-like board backing of my entertainment cabinet. 10 minutes to mount the fan with 4 screws. It took 2 minutes to plug it into an unused USB port on my amplifier for fan power. Now, my whole 7 component system stays cool. After watching a movie, it took 15 minutes to clean up my mess.

Ich hab mir den lüfter als Ergänzung zu meinem AC Infinity airplate T3 für mein 3D Drucker Gehäuse gekauft. Weil es immer zu Warm darin wird und dadurch die Drucke verfälscht. Kurz und Knapp: Pro: - Funktion (macht genau was es soll) - Design (sieht einfach nur Modern und Perfekt aus) - Abluft oder Frischluft (im Handumdrehen aus Ab->Zu und Umgekehrt, einfach Lüfter ausbauen und drehen) - Bedienung (Einfach am Drehzahlregler die Gewünschte Geschwindigkeit einstellen) Kontra: - Preis (ist Ziemlich hoch für nur einen Lüfter) Fazit: Auch wenn der Preis etwas hoch ist, ist der Lüft es Absolut wert, Wertig verarbeitet, Einfach zu bedienen. Für jeden mit dem Problem das seine Gehäuse zu Warm wird beim Drucken die beste Möglichkeit um seine Drucke in den Griff zu bekommen. Aber auch für alle anderen die Probleme mit großer Hitze an ihren Geräten haben. Würde ich jeder Zeit wieder kaufen, wenn er nicht immer Ausverkauft wäre ;-)

Super quiet when cooling the media cabinet that houses my PS5. It keeps the PlayStation cool and you can barely hear it, great product

Installation was straightforward. I used this to vent my gaming computer out of the side of my desk in order to reduce the amount of hot air blowing on me from the computer. I used an oscillating tool/saw to cut the hole out of my office desk. A few things: The CFM is just okay, but the fan is quiet. There are some weird harmonics the fan puts out, which are mostly not noticeable when the computer is running. I plugged mine into the back of my PC and set my BIOS to de-energize the USB ports when the computer is in "soft off" mode. This way, the fan only runs when the computer is on. All in all, it does measurably reduce the temperature of the area at the front of my desk where my arms are placed while gaming. It's only a few degrees, but the perceived cooling of cooler air passing over me is by far the most noticeable part. It's built well; the quality is good.
