fan speed
Blade rotation setting
Fan speed is how fast a fan's blades rotate, typically measured in revolutions per minute or expressed as discrete settings.
Most fans offer multiple speeds—low, medium, high—controlled by a switch, dial, or remote: Turn the fan speed up; it's sweltering in here.
In computing, fan speed often refers to cooling fans inside devices, which may adjust automatically based on temperature.
