I have heard it said that PWM fans are controllable by software. I understand the PWM connectors are the 4-pin But speedfan was around pre PWM wasn't it? So for 3 pin fan connectors. Could it control ...

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 on, the fully powered switch-controlled fan ...

This circuit is a fan controller which is using the pulse width modulation (PWM) method. It is tiny (33.78mm x 54.76mm) and easy to build. Functions of the circuit parts are listed below; VR1: 10 K ...

Speedfan, is right not an option, as it does not support my motherboard. I don't like MSI dragon center, and I dont want to have to go to BIOS to adjust fan speed. What software is there, aside from ...

The Arctic P8 MAX looks pretty much as you would expect, It’s an 80mm fan, so it’s pretty small. Of course, that’s not much use in most mid-tower or most standard PC builds. However, there are plenty ...

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 ...
