Simple temperature regulated FAN speed controller This regulator uses a P-FET to change the positive supply voltage

to a FAN an NTC resistor mounted on the device that needs cooling will change the fan speed, the temperature on the heat sink will therefore be constant, while the FAN speed will change, depending on power disipated The RPM output signal from most FAN types will continue to function, due to the positve voltage regulation. There is many other ways to do this, but since I have fine access to P-FETS and they have super hight gain, a perfect solution !

The Fan regulator schematic, the gate capasitors filter the NTC voltage so regulation is nice smooth, The output capasitor remove FAN noise when it is running on low voltage, the FAN draw it's current in pulses so without this cap it will noise. If you have a 10K NTC you use a 10-22K trimmer, if you have a 22K NTC use 22-47K trimmer, 47K NTC use 47-100K trimmer and so on.

Here is the PCB and components placement, seen from top side.

Here are all the components you need.

Components on PCB.

Be carefull to use heat shrink tube to make a good looking NTC cable connection.

Now ready to install

It can be installed on an unused rear plate.

Maybe it is a better idea to solder wires and connector for MOBO input like this.

It can also be installed in an unused plastic front plate.

if you are carefull, it is possibe to drill the holes from rear side, with out making scratches.

Nice close up picture.

The switch short the FET to make MAX fan speed in position up, the LED is then RED, position down, LED is green, and fan speed is now controlled by the preset temperature set using the variable resistor.

The two green wires makes the FET short circuit via the switch.

The NTC temperature sensor is glued on the bottom side of the huge VULCANO 7 (TM) cooler, using araldite glue, the alu surface was cleened using sandpaper first, so that the glue will work good.

The original Vulcano FAN NTC was removed and the two wires for that NTC was soldered together, and secured with a bit heatshrink tube. 3 new wires and new connector was made for the fan, length 50 cm to reach front panel mounted new homemade regulator.

Here it is complete. It is now possible to set any CPU working temperature we desire, The regulator will keep same temperature no matter what CPU loading we make.. we tried with 47C max load, then the fan speed was about 3000 as usual. then we enabled the NB cooling bit to set the CPU idle, now almost instantly, the fan speed started to go down and down and after 20 sec it stopped !!! WOW what a dream.. CPU tested: XP2000 slightly overclocked from 1667 to 1800 MHz !! Greatings to Snow !! I hope you like your new fan controller :-)

temperatura regulada simple controlador de velocidad de FAN This regulator uses a P-FET to change the positive supply voltage to a FAN Este regulador utiliza un P-FET para cambiar la tensin de alimentacin positiva a una FAN an NTC resistor mounted on the device that needs cooling will change the fan speed, una resistencia NTC montado en el dispositivo que necesita refrigeracin cambiar la velocidad del ventilador, the temperature on the heat sink will therefore be constant, while the FAN speed will

change, depending on power disipated la temperatura en el disipador de calor por lo tanto, ser constante, mientras que la velocidad del ventilador va a cambiar, dependiendo de la potencia disipated The RPM output signal from most FAN types will continue to function, due to the positve voltage regulation. La seal de salida de la mayora de los tipos de RPM FAN va a seguir funcionando, debido a la regulacin de voltaje positve. There is many other ways to do this, but since I have fine access to P-FETS and they have super hight gain, a perfect solution ! Hay muchas otras maneras de hacer esto, pero desde que tienen acceso bien a P-FETS y tienen ganancia de altura super, una solucin perfecta!

The Fan regulator schematic, the gate capasitors filter the NTC voltage so regulation is nice smooth, El regulador del ventilador esquemtica, la puerta de capasitors filtro de la tensin de NTC para la regulacin es agradable suave, The output capasitor remove FAN noise when it is running on low voltage, the FAN draw it's current in pulses so without this cap it will noise. La salida de capasitor quitar ruido del ventilador cuando se est ejecutando en baja tensin, la FAN es llamar la corriente en pulsos de manera que si no se tapa el ruido. If you have a 10K NTC you use a 10-22K trimmer, if you have a 22K NTC use 22-47K trimmer, 47K NTC use 47-100K trimmer and so on. Si usted tiene una NTC 10K se utiliza un condensador de ajuste 10-22K, si usted tiene un uso de 22K trimmer NTC 2247K, 47K uso NTC trimmer 47-100K, etc.
