moeburn Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 I don't know how much space you have in your HTPC case, but a fan controller might work. Or you could do it the moeburn way, and try and make your own PWM controller out of a simple 555 timer! http://3lectronics.com/pwm-controller-regulator-diy-555/ That one is a broad-range controller for anything that runs on 12v, but is specifically stated to work as a fan controller. And the author has even included how to lay it out and solder it on a standard breadboard! You'll need a fancy MOSFET (Q1) though, which isn't always something people have lying around in their electronics bins like a 555 timer. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Topham Hatt Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 If you need to convince yourself of this, just try standing behind a fan rather than in front on a hot summer day. This sir is a very good point well made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
