crisisfromthesky Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Hi. In a bid to make my PC a bit quieter I thought it would be good to build a temperature sensitive fan speed controller with a sensor that I can place somewhere near my CPU or maybe near the fan. Perhaps with some sort of adjustment to adjust what speed for a given temp. I have done a bit of a trawl and there seem to be some good ideas out there, but unfortunately they all assume quite a lot of knowledge of components, circuit design etc. I have none of this! I can solder, and I'm not afraid to muck about with some proto-board to get the results, but I need some help to get me off the ground, maybe a circuit diagram I can understand that uses components I can get in my local Maplin.Has anyone got any suggestions? Could be quite interesting, and I'm sure lots of people would like such a device. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crisisfromthesky Posted September 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Thanks for your prompt reply. That site was really useful. I especially like the fact that they show you how to actually construct the circuit in practice. Just the right amount of detail for a newbie like myself. It might be a while before I actually build the circuit and test it, but I'll try to post back my findings when I do.Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
