fan control

Breeze speed adjustment

Fan control is the regulation of cooling fan speed in computers, vehicles, or HVAC systems.

In computing, fan control adjusts rotation speed based on temperature, balancing cooling performance against noise: I tweaked the fan control settings to keep my GPU quiet during gaming.

Fan control may be automatic through firmware or manual through software utilities.
