CButters Tech Performance Fan

Be sure to determine if you want USB-C or USB-A version and purchase accordingly!

NEW! Special Edition Stinger Yellow Fan! This version comes with 4500RPM fan instead of the 3500RPM fan. It's Louder, but slightly more performant for those of you who value performance over quieter operation. It also is built with a more durable plastic, and a sandstone finish instead of the holographic finishes like the other fans.

Enthusiast Built
I've been reviewing and sharing my findings on the effects of cooling the chassis of the Surface Pro devices for almost a decade starting with the Surface Pro 3. I Designed this fan from the Ground up specifically to work with the Surface Pro 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11. The USB-C model attaches easily and seamlessly with magnets to the Surface Pro 7,7+,8, 9, 10 & 11. No fiddling with other unstable USB fans that tip over / cut your hands

Efficient
When choosing a fan for this application, its a balancing act of noise, performance, and power consumption. The fan chosen for this surface fan uses only 1 watt to operate, is slim, no blade edges sticking out and provides the cooling necessary, while being smooth and quiet compared to most other solutions. It also doesn't hurt that it looks pretty nice too.

Performance
This fan can boost your performance substantially. Surface devices are programmed to throttle hard if the temperature of where you place your hands on the chassis become too hot. By keeping the outside cool, you'll actually see your CPU ramping up it's clock speed (and getting hotter even!) because you've now eliminated the system from worrying about the chassis temperature, which allows it to pushing higher clocks and performance.

FAQ

How does the CButters Tech Performance Fan work?
The surface line of products will throttle the performance if it senses that the chassis temperature is getting too hot to touch. (These are tablets after all) If the chassis is too hot, the Surface Pro will limit clock speeds and performance. By keeping the chassis cool; you allow the device to perform sustained workloads at much higher performance. In my testing we can see in some instances we were doubling the performance for those sustained workloads vs. no fan in the same ambient temperature.

Why is your fan any different from a fan I can just buy off amazon?
The biggest difference is that my Fan; especially the USB-C version for Surface Pro 7-11 is unmatched in ease of usage. It pops right on / looks great, takes up very little space / attaches magnetically and is unlike anything else I've ever seen for this purpose. It's also a great opportunity to support my channel. The fan is also hand-made in the USA by me, and not a mass produced item.

When Should I buy the USB-A version over the USB-C Version?
You should only buy the USB-C Version if you have a Surface Pro 7-11 device, the benefit of the USB-C version is it pops right on; no cables and the fan is in position. Some Surface Pro 7+/8/9/10 users may STILL want to buy the USB-A Version if they need access to both of their USB-C ports while using the fan. I originally was going to just produce the USB-C version... but realized that I could better serve users better by offering both options.

Is the CButters Tech Performance Fan 3D Printed?
Yes, the housing is 3D Printed. Expect a few visible layer lines as to be expected with this manufacturing method. This is a short run device made by me personally and 3D Printing is the BEST way to get this very niche product to market quickly and affordably. I have a lot of experience with 3D Printing if you watch my channel and I've designed these to the highest level of quality possible and use high quality materials. There may be additional color options in the future as well. 

Why is Shipping so expensive?
If you're asking this, you’re probably one of my valued international customers. US customers close to me usually pay very little in shipping. First, please know that I do not upcharge on shipping at all. The exact price I pay to ship is what you pay. I don’t make any profit on it.Unfortunately, as a small one-person shop in the middle of the United States, getting these items to countries like Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, the UK, and many others costs quite a bit. I really wish I could change that, but the small volumes I ship simply don’t make it possible to set up operations overseas to try to lower the rates. Consider my Factory 2nd fan option if you need to save a few dollars to put towards the shipping cost.

These are boutique, handmade, and specialized items, so shipping can unfortunately be expensive. I’m sorry it adds up, but I want you to know exactly why.The good news? So many customers reach out to me to tell me how much they enjoy their fans, I don't filter my ratings at all and they have almost a perfect 5 star score. Customers who pick up these fans rarely regret it. In fact, I've never had a single return! (only replacements if it was damaged on shipping.).I hope this helps you understand. Please feel free to contact me if you know of any tricks to improve the shipping options, I'm open to feedback
