Brilliant keeps the pi cool. Very cheap, full of features, easy to install and it is so quiet you don't even know it's there

Very easy and quick to assemble and install, even for the non-technical user. No extra tools required for assembly. Works perfectly, with almost zero noise when running. Only minor quibble: if you follow the instructions for the software exactly, it will be installed off of the user's home directory -- should probably add a step to move it into a more suitable location for services/daemons after download.

Really simple to install the hardware. Without any software, it simply spins all the time. Very quiet with a casing, not too loud with the casing off. Really easy to follow the software install instructions if you want the LED, auto on/off capabilities. Definitely worth the price and has kept my Pi CPU much cooler.

Assembling and installing the shim was very easy. After running the installation scripts the fan works just as I would expect it to. Highly recommended.

I bought this shim 6 months ago and now the fan has gotten seized up, worn, or otherwise in a state where the shim can't run it anymore. I can turn it with my fingers and that used to restart it but it now won't turn at all. Electrical contacts seem fine and nothing else has changed since I installed it and had it working.

Works well, sound is far acceptable and software to control the fan is really cool.
