I can tell you that the fans probably wont last as long at 21 volts than at 12 - but i can tell you this - they move some air :005: - i also have 5 volt fans - Maybe ill use a 12 volt and a 5 volt on my heatsink - Easy enough to do -I had my quark mounted to my custom rear plate with a heatsink mounted underneath and i had some problems with thermaling - i changed my design - used my heatsink and recessed my quark into the back - mounted with thermal paste and 2 fans. I ran 7400mah 5S - thru her yesterday - and i was hard on the trigger trying to get her as hot as i could - she got warm - but it didnt thermal - even after 35 mins of racing on the track. It worked awesome - im redesigning my heatsink to see if i can improve the performance - Overall im happy - For now anyway:cool:
