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 ...

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 ...

Cooling electronic systems has always been an important design consideration. As electronic systems continue to shrink and become more powerful, heat dissipation isn't just important—it's a critical ...

A partial solution to quietening noisy PCs can be to reduce the speed of internal cooling fans. Low-cost fan speed controllers are available, but they often employ inefficient, heat-generating linear ...

A good way to reduce acoustic noise in a system is to adjust the cooling-fan speed as a function of temperature. The standard way to do that (shown in simplified form in Figure 1) includes an IC that ...

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 ...

NZXT's GRID+ V2 is where all fan controllers will eventually go! It is small, powerful, can be hidden, and once the CAM software is involved, there truly is endless controls offered to the user. We ...

The Leviton Decora Smart Wi-Fi 4-Speed Fan Controller is a very, good product; it just isn’t the best in its class. I used to recommend picking one smart home ecosystem and sticking with it. Start ...
