' fan speeds : max . ' shows the maximum fan speed allowed for the fan , as reported by the operating system
figure 1a shows a fan control scheme based on temperature that requires a rise in temperature to act . the thermometer has to go up to turn the fan on and make it go faster . this is not a maximum cooling scenario . figure 1b shows a fan control scheme in which fan speed is controlled by sensing supply current . this makes fan control proportional to the thermal load , eliminating time lags and insuring the lowest possible system temperatures .
if you are using a laptop or other off - the - shelf computer ( like a dell ) , chances are your computer automatically controls its fans to some extent already . if your computer is getting hotter than you’d like , or your fans are louder than you’d like , you should do a couple of other things first :
there are two main sizes for computer fans : 80 mm and 120 mm . your computer may support other sizes , including 60 mm or 140 mm . if you ' re unsure , remove one of the fans that is currently installed and take it to your local computer retailer and ask about its size or measure it yourself .

monitor your computer ' s temperature . it ' s all well and good if your fans are spinning properly , but the end goal is to cool the computer ' s components . download a temperature monitoring program ( speedfan takes care of this as well ) . if your computer is still overheating , you may need to reconfigure your fan locations and directions , or consider more extreme cooling solutions . [ 2 ]
first of all , if the fan is connected to a motherboard , then the tach signal will inform the computer with the speed of the fan . that is the original reason of existing of the tach wire .
pwm control : the prevalent method currently used for controlling fan speed in pcs is low - frequency pwm control . in this approach , the voltage applied to the fan is always either zero or full - scale—avoiding the problems experienced in linear control at lower voltages . figure 5 shows a typical drive circuit used with pwm output from the adt7460 thermal voltage controller .

smart fan control
) , but generally you should be able to find it under one of the bios menus . enable this feature , and tweak any settings it gives you to your liking . some machines may only let you set it to conservative or liberal mode , while others will let you individually set temperature thresholds like speedfan .
the following will further describe how the controller 116 can determine the actual duty cycle outputting to the fan 110 at the different altitudes and at the different temperatures , so that the computer system can still operate normally and achieve the effect of energy saving . first , a nominal state is defined . in the conventional technique , if a computer system to operate normally at any altitudes is required , the fan speed of the computer system operating normally will be generally designed for a highest altitude specified by a system specification , such as 7000 ft from the sea level or much higher . in this embodiment , the nominal state is the one having the minimum duty cycle in pwm signal outputting to the fan at different ambient temperatures for a computer system operating normally at the specified highest altitude . at this time , a fan table as table 1 may be created for a computer system by experiment at different ambient temperatures according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention . as shown in table 1 , each row shows a minimum duty cycle in pwm signal outputting to the fan for the computer system operating normally at each ambient temperature .
to install a case fan , hold the fan in place with one hand . with the other hand , tighten secure the fan in place with four screws .
molex fan connectors are older and don’t offer any controls for the fan , but they’re easy to connect .
conversion of a mac mini to accept dc power is not new , and pairing the computer with a high quality external linear power supply is one of the best upgrades you can perform on this popular computer . so why choose the uptone mmk ? because it includes the world ' s first and only linear fan controller circuit for macintosh computers .
31 . the system of claim 15 , wherein the means for outputting a temperature feedback signal is provided on or within the particular computer component .
you can repeat this process with your other fans . in my case , my cpu fan is the only 4 - pin fan in my computer , and my motherboard doesn’t support voltage control for my 3 - pin fans . so i’m basically done . but i’m going to rename the other fans anyway , and remove sensors that aren’t attached to a fan—just so i can keep track of which ones are which .
as shown in fig . 3 , as operating , the input power source 10 can be a dc power source , the voltage regulation control unit 30 can tolerate a voltage fluctuation of the dc power source so as to maintain a stable output voltage to the fan 40 , the voltage detecting unit 60 is connected to the voltage regulation control unit 30 and the voltage output terminal thereof for detecting the output voltage , and the temperature detecting element 50 is connected to the voltage regulation control unit 30 for obtaining the environmental temperature coefficient and outputting thereof to the voltage regulation control unit 30 so as to control the rotation of the fan 40 .
i use stand - alone 3 - wired fans for ventilation of a room . how could i connect the third wire to control the speed of the fan ?
the present invention relates to low - pin count fan speed control and more particularly to a low - pin count fan speed control system and a method thereof , wherein fewest pins ( 4 , 5 or 6 pins ) are used on a chip to achieve same functions of an existing solution with 8 pins or more .
if the fan isn ' t designed for pwm control , you can always make a simple low pass filter to turn the pwm into a pseudo analoge output .
are you quoting the bios capabilities or are you quoting fanxpert software capabilities ? have you installed fanxpert ( part of aisuite ) ? some notes about fan control .

( on demand )
got it ? alright , with that , let’s talk about the different ways you can control those fans .
none of these solutions is absolutely perfect , but hopefully with a bit of tinkering you can get more control over how fast ( and loud ) your fans run . got any of your own tips for fan control in your machine ? let us know in the comments .
control the fan speeds of your cpu / gpu and chassis fans based on varying temperature readings from your system . speedfan home page urltoken speedfan is freeware . speedfan monitors voltages , fan speeds , and temperatures . speedfan can dynamically adjust fan speeds based on changing computer temperatures . speedfan runs on windows 9x , me , nt , 2000 , 2003 , xp , vista , and 7 . speedfan also has 64 - bit support .
basically i ' m looking for any comparable fan to replace the existing sunon kde2406ptb3 dc24v 1 . 4w fan .
fan control uses the highest of the shown cpu / gpu - related temperatures , represented by the vertical line on the graph , to compute the requested the fan speed ( s ) according to the user ' s slider / preference settings . fan - speed requests are designed to keep each fan ' s ' wanted ' fan speed within 25 rpm of the sloped line on the graph .
if your computer ' s running a little loud for your tastes , it ' s probably because your fans are running at full speed—even if they don ' t need to be . here are a few ways to manage your fan ' s speed so they ' re keeping your computer cool when they ' re necessary and silent when they ' re not .
added support for fan control on ite 87xx chips and a mainboard specific configuration for the gigabyte ga 970a ud3 ( both based on a patch from eric hokanson ) .
gah . . . ive been trying to get speedfan to control my cpu fan for days . . . finally coming to the realization that it wont alter cpu fans
ah , most unfortunate but not unexpected . i was rather hoping that the 3 - pin headers could offer control for the 230mm fan i have on the way .
then do the mod and connect both modded as well as normal molex tot he double trow switch . then you can switch between the two voltages and use that as a speed control feature . why not just install a fan speed control ? urltoken ( many others at newegg )

i can go from another organizations web link ( our saviour new york , which should by osny on livestream ) straight to their live event on the app . but , even though i have this organization marked as
following
in this app when i try to find them they are not there ? in fact it doesn ' t show me following anyone ? very disappointing ! the other weird thing is i cannot find this organization when i do a search in the app . but like i said , if i go from their site i can go straight to the live events on livestream ?

when mogulus launched in 2007 , few people understood its name . most people still don’t because , quite frankly , it doesn’t make a lot of sense . or i should say , didn’t make a lot of sense — because beginning today , the service has been completely rebranded as something much more obvious : livestream .

i like is the chat function , but that part has been pretty flakey lately . sometimes the chat doesn ' t load at all or it doesn ' t show everyone ' s chat comments . i ' ve made some really good friends on livestream but that ' s mostly because of the common interest in the lex & terry show .
livestream - - which says that its technology allows
anybody on the internet who can connect a video camera to a computer
to instantly stream live video worldwide 24 / 7 via their own urltoken channels , or to video players embedded on their own web sites or social - networking profiles - - claims that over 300 , 000 people have registered and launched live video channels using its platform since its 2007 launch .
livestream is doing for live video streaming what youtube did for on - demand video clips ,
mogulus / livestream co - founder and ceo , max haot , said in a prepared statement .
while we didn ' t invent live streaming , we ' re removing the barriers - - making live video production and streaming easy and affordable for anybody to use and experience . consider how the demand for connecting communities and information in real time on the internet has grown through simple services like twitter . . . and , that ' s just texting ! it ' s easy to see that live video streaming is well positioned to become a key force moving us toward richer , more immersive content experiences and communication .
whether you ' re in the studio or on the street , the livestream broadcaster pro works great for encoding your video footage on - the - go . its light - weight mobile - friendly design , along with its easy - to - use functionality and reliability , make the broadcaster pro a must - have piece of hardware for anyone wanting to deliver seamless high - quality live video streams to your channel .
as we speak , the foo fighters are playing a live show on facebook , live from their own studio 606 , for their fans on the site . the concert is utilizing the same live - stream module we have seen in used in a variety of situations in the past , including cnn ' s live stream of barack obama ' s inauguration . this is combined with a live video module from livestream to complete the experience .
mogulus has seen some good growth over the past year in terms of visitors to its site , according to numbers from compete . i suspect that will rise greatly with this new domain . but it’s the features that make users stick around , and this move to one - click publishing is a good idea — keep it simple , stupid , and all that . haot also notes that livestream has over 1 , 000 paying pro members , the premium service it launched last year .
noto also said that 7 out of 10 of the most - followed twitter accounts are musicians , so the company is cashing in on the pairing . this partnership could very well pave the way for even more concert livestream deals in the future – you’d think youtube , facebook , or twitch may also want to hop on board . but , if you’re more interested in physically being at the concert yourself , keep in mind that live nation’s $ 20 deal is on for a bit longer .

i enjoy using lifestream from tv to watch our church broadcast when i’m away . however i find it puzzling that i don’t see my followed account front and center when i open the livestream app on tv nor do i find a way to quickly view all my followed accounts . seems like a reasonable assumption i’d focus on those when using the app right ? i have only the option to search making we wonder the point of “following” any account other than the emails i receive ( why not phone push notification ? ) . email seems a strange medium for “take action now” communication .

the foo fighters are playing a live performance from studio 606 for their fans on facebook .
this is a really cool thing for the band to do for its fans and something i hope we see more of in the future . as the foo fighters play , they are keeping an eye on the stream of status updates coming in , sometimes responding to comments and taking song requests .
there is an undeniable trend of live events moving online . the potential audience that can be reached is fairly significant and the costs are low . as shown by the foo fighters , a band can just broadcast a live show for their fans , from their own studio . the social element of facebook , combined with this event , only enhances the experience .

a woman eating maggots , a boy strumming the guitar whilst playing the piano with his feet and a man screaming a traditional chinese song from the top of his lounges whilst sipping rice wine . these are some of the online performances i have witnessed with my very own eyes , whereby regular people use smartphones to live stream whatever suits their whims and needs .
individuals and companies are looking to tap into a rapidly expanding mobile - video market that’s demanding something sexy , novel and edgy reflecting the new flux of young people’s tastes and interests . zhang qige , a 23 - year old girl who plays computer games and talks live brings thousands of real time viewers simultaneously . she receives more than 2 million subscribers on a typical viewership of 400 , 000 for each nightly show . “they feel like i am speaking to them face to face . ” the proliferation of websites and such illustrate the monetizing of social media in addition to the entrepreneurial drive of young chinese in a state , which encompasses 668 million individuals online .
their popularity reveals the solitude of urban life in china along with the growing excess of single men , attributed in part to the nation’s former one - child policy . much of the information on various live streaming websites could be considered seedy , and beyond the borders of good taste . indeed 34 individuals in the central province of anhui were detained after streaming live pornography . however the majorities are using these streams for innocent entertainment .
apps hosting these live streaming events derive revenue though advertisements and virtual gift giving . viewers can purchase virtual gifts like pictures of blooms or bottles of beer for his or her favourite performers . who are then able to convert these gifts into hard cash . “i believe everyone , without exception , enjoys to see beautiful girls , ” said a 28 - year old single office worker who requested that he be identified only by his surname , zhai . he said he spends 500 - 800 yuan ( $ 80 - 120 ) a week buying virtual presents on four or more distinct websites . one of the popular host websites claim to have 120 million active users who spend a mean time of 48 hours per month on their website .
this business model operates well in china building on the conventional culture of giving red envelopes stuffed with fruit , smokes or bottles of alcohol and cash at weddings at the lunar new year . ”gifting is a familiar practice offline , and moving that online to form e - relationships appears to be the natural transgression , ” said hans tung , a managing associate at ggv capital , a venture capital firm .
the largest online market continues to grow in china bringing aspects of traditional habits and culture intertwined with western popular culture to an ever - demanding young user base .

mogulus is making the change because it feels like the entire field of streaming live video on the web is on the verge of exploding in popularity , and it’d be hard to find a better name to take advantage of that , as ceo max haot tells us . naturally though , this change would not have been possible without the killer urltoken domain , which mogulus acquired recently . haot wouldn’t tells us how much they paid for the domain , but you can bet it was a very pretty penny . [ update : domain name wire claims it sold for $ 100 , 000 – thanks jeremy ]

april 22 , 2015 : live streaming has been around in one form or another since the early 90s , going all the way back to providers such as reannetworks , apple tv and roku . however , with the advent of the mobile phone revolution , users can more easily act as content creators and broadcasters . it’s imperative that marketers understand this space and decide if they need to be there . here are some details on the differing platforms , their histories , and the demographics they serve .
founded in 2007 as a means for overseas u . s . military personnel to speak with their families at home , ustream was one of the first services to feature live events with celebrities . issues with auto content blocking during live paid events has inhibited the platform’s growth , and larger services have now left ustream behind .
this platform combines gamification with broadcasting . founded by adi sideman in 2011 , you now is aimed at teens and includes a leveling system in which users are awarded system privileges for content creation and participation , in a model similar to how many free to play games work . while an older platform , it’s still popular and uses a unique , ad - free monetization model .
introduced in 2011 , this is the chat and live stream portion of google plus . google hangouts on air allows for up to eight people to simultaneously broadcast through youtube and record the stream . its adoption has been inhibited by the overall resistance to the adoption of the larger google plus product , as well as the difficulty of dealing with the product’s complexity . however , it has many fun features , and its ability to record directly into youtube is a huge plus .
urltoken is a live streaming service that was spun from urltoken back in 2011 , twitch’s parent site was shut down in august 2014 as twitch was eclipsed . it was purchased in september 2014 by amazon for $ 970 million and has since branched out into music related streams and content . twitch has been made famous by several participatory trends : twitch plays pokemon , teamsp00ky fighting tournaments for marvel vs . capcom , and several charity video game fighting events . twitch is now being instrumental in the explosion of league of legends and other moba - style games .
meerkat was released in march of 2015 at the sxsw ( south by southwest ) festival , meerkat streams straight to twitter . meerkat was notable for being a direct competitor to twitter’s competing product , periscope . twitter cut off meerkat’s access to the twitter social graph when it acquired periscope .
