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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Deciding between PWM and DC case fans can be confusing, but it’s important for the optimal performance of your computer. In general, PWM fans are quieter, more controllable, and more durable than DC ...

I was pondering possible interfaces between a microcontroller and a 12 or 24V 5015 blower fan. The challenge is that the MCU can only drive 3.3 or 5V, while the blower needs needs a voltage as low as ...

Well, I'm using Noctua fans which are damned well made. I was originally going with Redux fans, but I found them too noisy, so I'm going to return them in favour of NF-S12A PWM which come with a 1:2 ...

Enlarging its portfolio of premium quality quiet fans, Noctua today announced PWM versions of its renowned NF-P12, NF-B9 and NF-R8 fans. Having received more than hundred awards and recommendations ...
