Can't wait to get the DVI Component adapter from the manufacturer to hook it up, and have HDTV/PC on the same monitor... can't wait. Anyways: good idea... how does this ontroller work? Is it to just turn the fan on/off?
Yes my satellite box get really hot too. Because its inside the TV stand with a glass door, the DVD, VIDEO, SATELLITE and DVB receiver all gets really hot.
My TV heres is on for like 20 hours a day so it is getting some real abuse. I though its wise to cool them down.
The controller just turns the fan on/off by sensing the TV electromagnetic noise. It be much better to open up the TV, cut a proper hole and tap directly to the +12V supply. Ill do that later on when the warranty expire.
The 12cm fan make abit of noise so I have to slow it down with a resistor.
Linear Mode
