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 ...

Cooling fans are widely used and are extremely important in electronic devices, especially for those constantly running. That includes power supplies, servers, computers, and telecommunication ...

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 ...

[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 ...

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 ...

I have an NCase M1 and an open air GPU cooler so I use two fans at the bottom of the case to pull in cool air, displacing the hot air exhausted by the GPU. I'm currently using motherboard temperature ...

Proprietary components are the bane of anyone who dares to try and repair their own hardware. Nonstandard sizes, lack of labeling or documentation, and unavailable spare parts are all par for the ...

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 ...

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 ...

For those of you cooling enthusiasts, you probably know Noctua by now and they make great cooling products, so when they decided to introduce their new NF-F12 PWM fan, we were more than happy take a ...
