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 ...

This Processor Fan Control circuit is intended to be used with relatively old PCs, since more recent models generally have a fan control circuit already integrated into the motherboard. These ...

The default for any control project here in 2019 was to reach for a microcontroller. Such are their low cost and ubiquity that they can be used to replicate what might once have needed some extra ...

Here is an example of the built circuit on a small piece of stripboard. The 2p coin gives an indication of size. I have not included the diode D1 in this example. Side view. General layout of ...

A cooling system can sometimes be a buzzkill. You drop your badass engine into your badass hot rod, and then you remember you've got to keep it cool. As an afterthought, you order a big aluminum ...

What exactly is a fan controller, and why do I need one for my computer? A fan controller, like the Sentry 3 I’m taking a look at here, gives you complete control over the fans in your computer. Most ...

It is clean looking, easy to install and use, and it offers plenty of power and finite controls that most enthusiasts are after. Thermaltake has delivered once again, and the Commander FT comes highly ...

Diodes Inc.has announced the introduction of a pair of all-in-one single-phase 12 V fan motor drivers for low to medium voltage brushless DC fan control in consumer, home appliance, industrial and ...

When your GPU fan goes rogue with an unholy screech, you either shell out for a new one or you go full hacker mode. Well, [ashafq] did the latter. The result is a delightfully nerdy fan controller ...

Two all-in-one, single phase fan motor drivers have been introduced by Diodes. Aimed at low to medium voltage brushless DC fan control in consumer, home appliance, industrial and office equipment, the ...

The Leviton Decora Smart Wi-Fi 4-Speed Fan Controller is a very, good product; it just isn’t the best in its class. I used to recommend picking one smart home ecosystem and sticking with it. Start ...
