Most of us using desktop computers, and plenty of us on laptops, have some sort of fan or pump installed in our computer to remove heat and keep our machines running at the most optimum temperature.

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 ...

Serial would mean the +V of one fan is connected to the Gnd of the next, and assuming each fan is identical, each fan would only get a fraction of 12V (2 fans @ 6V each might make them spin slowly, ...

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 ...

AUTO /MANUAL manual mode automatic mode switch. Big LCD screen to display the temperature, fan speed, alarm temperature, hard disk state, to constantly know the the working condition. Smart adjust the ...

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 ...

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 ...
