Windows PCs and laptops require a dedicated fan to support heat dissipation. The fan helps keep the hardware cool and ensures it doesn’t overheat in any intensive work or task. During peak performance ...

Many of the parts inside of your business computer generate a great deal of heat that gets removed by the cooling fans inside of its case. If the fans run slowly, they remove less heat but also make ...

My CPU fan is currently set in the bios as manual (PWM). it's set to roughly 90% of maximum speed right now which to me is the ideal balance between noise and cooling (cpu at 50 *C idle, 60 *C 100% ...

Under normal circumstances, the CPU in your desktop PC generates modest amounts of heat; a smart fan on top of the CPU runs just fast enough to keep it cool. At this speed, you barely hear the fan.

About a year ago, I read a comment on Reddit suggesting that instead of dealing with fan curves and sudden noise jumps, you could just run your CPU cooler at a constant speed. Naturally, I had to try ...

A CPU fan is more than just a fan. It is attached to CPU with power pins/wires and a sensor that tells it how fast to run. If the CPU is heating, the sensor will make the fan run faster. As such, the ...
