  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 ...

  3. Machine-check exception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-check_exception

    Poor CPU cooling due to a CPU heatsink and case fans (or filters) that's clogged with dust or has come loose. Overclocking beyond the highest clock rate at which the CPU is still reliable. Failing motherboard. Failing processor. Failing memory. Failing I/O controllers, on either the motherboard or separate cards. Failing I/O devices.

  4. Platform Environment Control Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_Environment...

    Typically in server platforms, CPUs are the PECI slaves and Platform Controller Hub (PCH) is the PECI master, meanwhile in client segment, CPU is usually the PECI slave and EC/BMC is the PECI master. PECI was introduced in 2006 with the Intel Core 2 Duo microprocessors. Support for PECI was added to the Linux kernel version 5.18 in 2022. [1]

  5. Machine Check Architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_check_architecture

    In computing, Machine Check Architecture (MCA) is an Intel and AMD mechanism in which the CPU reports hardware errors to the operating system.. Intel's P6 and Pentium 4 family processors, AMD's K7 and K8 family processors, as well as the Itanium architecture implement a machine check architecture that provides a mechanism for detecting and reporting hardware (machine) errors, such as: system ...

  6. Computer fan - Wikipedia

    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]

  7. SpeedFan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpeedFan

    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.

  8. ACPI - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACPI

    Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is an open standard that operating systems can use to discover and configure computer hardware components, to perform power management (e.g. putting unused hardware components to sleep), auto configuration (e.g. Plug and Play and hot swapping), and status monitoring.

  9. Rev limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rev_limiter

    The RPM level that results with the spark timing being arrested can be a constant level, or, with the proper ignition control modules, variable. Variable rate ignition modules can be adjusted quickly and easily to achieve the appropriate RPM limit for different situations, such as street racing, drag racing, road course racing and highway driving.
