CPU Stands Q and A's
Help me slow down a CPU cooling fan hard wired?
I have a 12 volt CPU cooling fan that is stand alone and is hardwired to a 12v dc adapter i found around my house. The fan cools a set-top box receiver that gets hot. The fun runs great, but the problem is its full speed and too loud. What is the simplest, cost effective way to lower this speed (or voltage i guess?) It would be even better if I can regulate the speed.
1.- Find another dc adapter, let say 9vdc or 6vdc. The current capacity of the adapter has to be enough for the fan, check it out.
2.- Put a few diodes in serie with the fan. Each diode will make a voltage drop of 0.7 volts which will reduce the speed of the fan. You have to check the correct polarity of the diodes. Also the current capacity of the diodes has to be accordingly with the fan current.
3.- Put a resistance in series with the fan, the resistance value has to be small let say 10-30 ohms and the resistance power has to be enough in order to not to get burned. Power = I^2R where I is the current of the fan and R is the value of the resistance in ohms.
Choose one of the above ones.
If you know electronics you can also build a power control circuit but in that case.......you were not asking this.

CPU Stands Articles and News
Notebook, or laptop, is a portable computer that normally have :
- Screen size : 12 Inch and up
- Processor : Intel Pentium Dual-Core,Core 2 Duo or AMD Turion X2
- Graphics : Integrated or External Graphic Card, from Intel GMA x3100 to AMD Mobility HD 3870X2
- Weight : 1.9kg and up
Netbook, a smaller variant of notebook, 1st poineered by Asus with their release of Asus Eee PC 700,and now laptop companies such as Acer and MSI released their own netbooks (Acer aspire one and MSI wind respectively), have :
- Screen size : 12 Inch max
- Processor : VIA C7 1.2GHz, Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz or AMD Geode 800MHz
- Graphics : Integrated Graphic Card, mostly Intel GMA 900 or 950
- Weight : 1.1kg and below
1st, let's compare the screen size. With notebook screen size normally hovers around 14.1 to 15.4 inch, you can have a good movie viewing pleasure and don't have to squint your eyes just to see some text. With screen size 12 inch and lower, you might have a hard time typing documents in your netbook.
2nd, the processor. It is a very important part or consideration because it process the website content. The faster the processor, the faster the page loads. If you normally surf around the YouTube (which is heavy in javascript and flash) then you will know that loading that website takes longer than sites such as wikipedia or forums. With a slow processor, you browser might suddenly hangs if you opened too much tabs. The netbook cpu can't even handle 1080p movie and it will shutter all the way till the end.
3rd, the graphic card. If your primary concern is playing games, you can skip the netbook altogether as their graphic are really really lame. Some claim that they install World of Warcraft inside their netbook, but with lame graphic card and small screen, how are you ever gonna enjoy playing that game. On the other hand, notebook have better graphic card than netbook even in the low-end section. They can handle World of Warcraft and other older games easily without breaking a sweat literally.
4th, the weight. This is where the netbook really shines. With their low weight (and small screen), they are truly fit the definition of portability. Thier weight are almost half of the notebook weight, which is a good thing if you're not into bodybuilding. Coupled with their power adapter, the max weight might be only 1.5kg.
In the end, it all boils down to you. Which one you prefer the most. If you like to play games or watch movies, notebook is the way to go. If you surf the web more often and type short documents, netbook is you choice. Be warned that netbook keyboard is really small and not suitable for long-term typing.
