High-frequency dc fans feature pulse-width-modulation (PWM) fan-speed control that eliminates motor commutation noise. The PWM ramps up linearly from a 20% duty cycle up to the fan's maximum rated ...

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 ...

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 ...

The simplest of fan-control schemes an on-off switch is simple but inefficient, because it provides more cooling than necessary most of the time. When The simplest of fan-control schemes — an on-off ...

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 ...

Thanks to PWM control, the speed of the Sharkoon SilentStorm PWM fans is controlled exactly as required by the mainboard, offering up to a maximum speed of 1,400 revolutions per minute. The ...

[hedgehoginventions] wrote in to share a little modification he made to his video card in order to keep it from overheating during strenuous 3D tasks. Having swapped out the stock cooler on his Nvidia ...

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 ...

What Fans Are We Testing? With much gratitude to Scythe, they have provided us with several samples of their fans. While they are all RGB capable, there is a wide variance in the model’s specific ...

If your computer still has these connectors inside, you could be in danger ...

The following two Scythe coolers are a hint more performance oriented. The Scythe Mugen 3B is priced at 33 EUR/USD. Making it very affordable. Version 3 of the Mugen provides higher compatibility with ...
