发明名称 Controlling the speed of a cooling fan in a computer by generating temperature-load curves and then fan speed-temperature curves
摘要 Disclosed is a method of management and control of the cooling fans inside a computer consisting of a plurality of electronic devices. The method involves within a working interval, detecting the device's load and the temperature to generate a load-temperature curve, from this a fan speed-temperature curve is generated and used to control the fan speed. The method may be initiated by the BIOS setup menu of the computer, which may check whether a load-temperature curve exists in the operating system. The method may store the data relating to the fan speed-temperature curve. The method may determine the address corresponding to the fan and a related device cooled by the fan. The computer may have a plurality of devices or components, with corresponding fans, such as motherboards, CPUs, and power supplies. The method may set a critical temperature during the working internal, just less than the maximum working temperature of the computer or particular device, such that if the critical temperature is reached the fan jumps to it's maximum speed. The control system may have a circuit that reduces the working frequency of the computer or device if it exceeds the maximum temperature allowed for it.
