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 ...

The high temperature of power components is a well-known phenomenon in electronics. To overcome this challenge, designers mount heatsinks on the components to dissipate the heat. However, in many ...

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 ...

Moving air with spinning blades is the most popular way, but it is not the only way. Using the PCB actuator technology he has been working on for the past few years, [Carl Bugeja] built a small ...

Controlling fans in a PC is something every builder has run into at some point or another. Whether sticking with an all air cooling build or even going with custom water cooling, you always need a ...

The Sentry name has hosted quite a few fan controllers from NZXT. From what I can recall, the Sentry 1 was pretty hip for its time. It had an LCD display and some shiny chrome buttons, but only ...

With the proliferation of high airflow cases around, the enthusiast is full of the desire to keep things as quiet as possible. Gone are the days where one needs to run massively-loud high-CFM fans and ...

When it comes to taking control of your PC's fans, a fan controller can not only allow you to tweak them to your heart's content, but also add a significant amount of bling to an otherwise ...

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.
