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 The simplest of fan-control schemes — an on-off ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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, ...

My recent build has been nothing but headaches. Everything is stable and functional now. However, my CPU fan runs full speed 24/7. So that hinted to me that something was amiss. HW Monitor and ...
