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 ...

I realize I am resurrecting a rather old thread, but has there been any updates on this? I too have PWM fans I bought for a 3 year old motherboard that I thought had PWM fan headers. I can't seem to ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

So my PC was noisy and I invested in 120mm Akasa Apache fans. Now I have 4 Apache fans (2 on the CPU cooler), 1 sucking the air out at the back and to balance the pressure, one Apache blowing cold air ...

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 ...
