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 ...

Normal fan ports are only 1 amp, so I don't typically like running more than one fan per. That's only 5 watts, after all. Normal fan ports are 12V, not 5V. A lot of 12V fans won't even start at 5V, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Since the early 1990s, the power requirements for VCC core voltages for leading-edge processors and ASICs have become increasingly demanding, with chip voltage decreasing and current increasing. Early ...
