Adafruit has announced the availability of a new temperature sensor and fan controller they have created in the form of the EMC2101 I2C. Priced at just $5.50 the fan controller and temperature sensor ...

The high temperature of power components is a well-known phenomenon in electronics. To overcome this challenge, designers mount heatsinks on the components to dissipate the heat. However, in many ...

Proper thermal dissipation is an essential rule for nowadays electronics. The best operating temperature for the electronic components is 25 degrees (standard room temperature). Thermal dissipation in ...

Modern motherboards offer a plethora of useful features, some not least of all relating to fan control. Many even include a modicum of automatic control too, allowing you to apply fan curve profiles ...

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 ...

PC running hot? Replacing your case might not be the solution.

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 ...

[Alan] noticed that his external hard drive was getting quite hot to the touch after a few hours. He says that it was probably designed to handle the heat sufficiently, he thought it would be fun to ...
