Since fan noise increases with the fifth power of the fan rotation speed, [2] reducing revolutions per minute (RPM) by a small amount potentially means a large reduction in fan noise. This must be done cautiously, as excessive reduction in speed may cause components to overheat and be damaged.
Where noise is an issue, larger, slower-turning fans are quieter than smaller, faster fans that can move the same airflow. Fan noise has been found to be roughly proportional to the fifth power of fan speed; halving the speed reduces the noise by about 15 dB. [22] Axial fans may rotate at speeds of up to around 38,000 rpm for smaller sizes. [23]
SpeedFan is a system monitor for Microsoft Windows that can read temperatures, voltages and fan speeds of computer components. [3] It can change computer fan speeds depending on the temperature of various components. [1] [4] The program can display system variables as charts and as an indicator in the system tray.
A 120 mm variable speed fan. If they use fans at all, quiet PCs typically use larger-than-usual low-speed fans with quiet-running motors and bearings. The 120 mm size is common, and 140 mm fans are used where cases or heat sinks allow them. Quiet fan manufacturers include Nexus, EBM-Papst, [30] Yate Loon, Scythe, [31] and Noctua. [32]

A governor, or speed limiter or controller, is a device used to measure and regulate the speed of a machine, such as an engine.. A classic example is the centrifugal governor, also known as the Watt or fly-ball governor on a reciprocating steam engine, which uses the effect of inertial force on rotating weights driven by the machine output shaft to regulate its speed by altering the input flow ...

AMD Wraith is a family of downdraft type CPU coolers designed by AMD. The Wraith was introduced as a heatpipe-equipped stock cooler for certain AMD FX CPUs and AMD A-series APUs. With the launch of AMD Ryzen, the Wraith lineup has been updated to four new variants, varying in design, cooling capabilities, and lighting features.
