The simplest of fan-control schemes — an on-off switch — is simple but inefficient, because it provides more cooling than necessary most of the time. When on, the fully powered switch-controlled fan ...

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 ...

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 ...

PWM or Pulse Width Modulation has generally been regarded as too complicated for PC fan speed control compared against using rheostats or linear voltage regulators such as the LM317. I present here a ...

The TC654 is a dual SMBus™ PWM fan speed controller with fan fault detection. This device is suitable for brushless DC motors. It permits temperature proportional fan speed control which lowers ...

[hedgehoginventions] wrote in to share a little modification he made to his video card in order to keep it from overheating during strenuous 3D tasks. Having swapped out the stock cooler on his Nvidia ...

Arctic Cooling today announced the release of their latest AMD socket AM2 based cooler with PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) fan control. Utilizing a unique design with 6 vertical copper heat pipes, ...

I have an NCase M1 and an open air GPU cooler so I use two fans at the bottom of the case to pull in cool air, displacing the hot air exhausted by the GPU. I'm currently using motherboard temperature ...

Normal fan ports are only 1 amp, so I don't typically like running more than one fan per. That's only 5 watts, after all. Normal fan ports are 12V, not 5V. A lot of 12V fans won't even start at 5V, ...

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 ...
