{{Short description|Management of the rotational speed of a computer fan}} [[File:Computer case - Full Tower.jpg|230px|thumb|right|[[Computer tower|Full-tower]] computer cases may contain multiple cooling fans. At the top of the case is a fan controller.]] '''Fan control''' is the management of the rotational speed of an electric fan. In computers, various types of [[computer fan]]s are used to provide adequate [[Computer cooling|cooling]], and different fan control mechanisms balance their cooling capacities and [[noise]] they generate. This is commonly accomplished by the [[motherboard]]s having [[hardware monitoring]] circuitry, which can be configured by the end-user through [[BIOS]] or other software to perform fan control.{{r|ieee07}}
