The point of this guide is to show the latest and greatest in fan control technology on Intel Z270 motherboards and to help you understand what each brand has to offer in their high-end products. I ...

I have a Darlington transistor to keep cool. It is a lovely chunky TIP147 in a TO247 package, attached to a PC heatsink (£6 from ebay) to get the heat out. PC heatsinks are great as they often include ...

Diodes Inc.has announced the introduction of a pair of all-in-one single-phase 12 V fan motor drivers for low to medium voltage brushless DC fan control in consumer, home appliance, industrial and ...

Windows PCs and laptops require a dedicated fan to support heat dissipation. The fan helps keep the hardware cool and ensures it doesn’t overheat in any intensive work or task. During peak performance ...

When implementing cooling solutions for electronic equipment, system designers are confronted with a complex set of variables. The cooling requirements are typically dynamic, and ambient temperatures ...

This post is a quick sequel of my previous article jam-packed with my personal experiences and observations while I was fiddling with standard 4-wire PC cooling fans. Today I will be talking about the ...

I was pondering possible interfaces between a microcontroller and a 12 or 24V 5015 blower fan. The challenge is that the MCU can only drive 3.3 or 5V, while the blower needs needs a voltage as low as ...

A few weeks ago, I saw a reader’s question about how to run PS3 cooling fans using an external electronics circuit. At the time I was busy with some other projects. The other day, I decided to put my ...

Withclosed loop speed control, the fan controller ensures that the fan isrunning at the desired speed by measuring the actual speed and adjustingthe duty cycle accordingly. Here the host specifies the ...

Typically, CPU fan noises are heard when you reboot your PC (the whirring sound you may have heard upon startup) and it goes on to decline as the startup process completes. The purpose of fans on your ...
