If you are a PC user who needs to monitor the temperature constantly and ensure that is not high during intensive processing, then an incorrect CPU temperature reading can create issues. This post ...

There can be many reasons why your CPU might have sudden temperature spikes and dips. This will explain the reasons, and then share how you can fix it: If your CPU temperature increases and decreases ...

The project illustrates the control of a PC fan speed and using an Arduino microcontroller to read a LM35 temperature sensor. The use of an optocoupler is covered along with Pulse Width Modulation ...

A broken fan can cause your computer to overheat and damage internal components like the CPU, video card, hard drive and motherboard. Computer fans usually adjust their speed depending on the heat ...

IIRC the extra pin on a 4 pin motherboard header may report if the fan has totally stopped, like a failure line, to tell the mobo to shut the CPU off. I've got an old 4 pin fan here from a '94 vintage ...

Proper thermal dissipation is an essential rule for nowadays electronics. The best operating temperature for the electronic components is 25 degrees (standard room temperature). Thermal dissipation in ...

So I built out a new box some months ago with the help of the fine Ars folks and it's been running great until recently.. for some reason the fans seem to randomly ramp up high for a few seconds then ...
