The plan was to replace the existing 3 x 40mm fans with 2 x 120mm fans using my own fan controller...

    I am trying to figure out if I need only one fan for my heatsink or more? I asking cause the fan that I have selected do not cover the entire heatsink area. Does it means that I need to have more fans in order to maximize the cooling from the heatsink? In that case, if my fan needs to have a...

    Upgrading antique automotive heater components

    Hello, I hope this isn't too far outside this forum's usual fare. My pride and joy is a 1959 Morris Minor.

    Fanless design or not?

    This is a recurring problem for me. Do I need to use forced air cooling with fans or not? And although I always have this situation, I can never decide what to do, or to put it better I don't know how, on which criteria, should I decide about this. What my designs usually have is a power hungry...

    DC fans creating electronic noise issue

    Hi! In order to cool a telcom device I am using 4x 12Vdc fans from Delta Electronics (the exact type is FFB0412VHN-F00). The fans have a 3-wire interface and I operate them by sending PWM pulses at their power supply wire. The pulses are generated from a PIC-microcontroller and are "converted"...
