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 ...

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 ...

This post is a quick sequel of my previous article jam-packed with my personal experiences and observations while I was fiddling with standard 4-wire PC cooling fans. Today I will be talking about the ...

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 ...

When implementing cooling solutions for electronic equipment, system designers are confronted with a complex set of variables. The cooling requirements are typically dynamic, and ambient temperatures ...
