Here is a simple mod to allow the speed of any 12V fan to be varied. All we need to do is insert a rheostat or variable resistor in the 12V wire to the fan. The rheostat should be rated at least 3 ...

This post is a quick sequel of my previous article jam-packed with my personal experiences and observations while I was fiddling with standard 4-wire PC cooling fans. Today I will be talking about the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Typically, CPU fan noises are heard when you reboot your PC (the whirring sound you may have heard upon startup) and it goes on to decline as the startup process completes. The purpose of fans on your ...

I have a Darlington transistor to keep cool. It is a lovely chunky TIP147 in a TO247 package, attached to a PC heatsink (£6 from ebay) to get the heat out. PC heatsinks are great as they often include ...

The project illustrates the control of a PC fan speed and using an Arduino microcontroller to read a LM35 temperature sensor. The use of an optocoupler is covered along with Pulse Width Modulation ...

The following are the best free Fan Speed Controller software for Windows 11/10 PC. The list is in no particular order, as every app here has some unique ability. Let us start with a one-stop shop for ...
