  2. Computer fan control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_fan_control

    Another method of reducing the fan speed [5] is by moving the 5 V wire in the classical Molex power connector in the place of the Ground wire going to the fan, thereby delivering +7 V (12 V − 5 V = 7 V) to the fan. However, this is a potentially risky method, because +5 V PSU line is intended to source current only, not sink it, so the PSU is ...

    The other two wires of the connector provide 5V (red) and ground (black too), and are not used in this case. This is the same connector as used on hard drives before the SATA became standard. Three-pin Molex connector PicoBlade family This connector is used with notebook fans or when connecting the fan to the video card. Dell proprietary

    A typical 32-bit, 5 V-only PCI card, in this case, a SCSI adapter from Adaptec A motherboard with two 32-bit PCI slots and two sizes of PCI Express slots. Work on PCI began at the Intel Architecture Labs (IAL, also Architecture Development Lab) c. 1990. A team of primarily IAL engineers defined the architecture and developed a proof of concept ...

    Copy and paste is a less formal alternative to classical branching, often used when it is foreseen that the branches will diverge more and more over time, as when a new product is being spun off from an existing product. As a way of spinning-off a new product, copy-and-paste programming has some advantages.

    In 20/24-pin configurations, the Mini-Fit Jr. connector (Molex Mini-fit Jr. 39-28-1203, [7] former 5566-20A or 39-28-1243, [8] former 5566-24A) may be used on ATX motherboards as the main power connector. The same style of connector, in single or paired 4-, 6-, or 8-pin configurations, may be used for additional CPU power and graphics card ...

    Usually, the standoff has a #6-32 UNC male thread on one end which screws into a threaded hole in the case or motherboard backplate and a #6-32 UNC female thread in the other end which accepts a screw to retain the motherboard. Less often, the standoff has a female thread in both ends and a second screw is used to attach it to the case.
