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 ...

Withclosed loop speed control, the fan controller ensures that the fan isrunning at the desired speed by measuring the actual speed and adjustingthe duty cycle accordingly. Here the host specifies 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 ...

Enhancing your product with speed-controlled fans can be a quick and significant upgrade — reducing noise, reducing energy use, adding system health monitoring, and providing an important ...

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 ...
