Is there a good way to wire fans to turn on when the tv does?
Is it better to have fans blowing in at the bottom or blowing out at the top?

Re: Is there a good way to wire fans to turn on with tv?
You can use the switched 12V or the switched 24V (I would use the 24V which is typical used for the backlights inverter) but you will need to find out what you have in your TV.Never stop learning

Here is my SMPS. I am thinking about using 4 - 12v .18a 80mm fans and maybe speed controlAttached FilesComment

I'm using for my Onkyo receiver a laptop cooler pad.
I have made a wire with USB connector and plugged it in the USB port of the TV.Comment

Re: Is there a good way to wire fans to turn on with tv?
you should use the fans to draw cold air in.
if you put them at the top to suck the hot air out, the air going through the fan heats the bearings and dries out the oil.Comment

Not if you use proper fans - Panasonic has used top mounted fans on their plasmas for years, with no problems.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Is there a good way to wire fans to turn on with tv?
most people dont use "proper" fans though - they will just read this thread and go buy something from a pc supplier for the price of a couple of beers.Comment

Re: Is there a good way to wire fans to turn on with tv?
If it doesn't really matter if the fans are on top or bottom i will put them on the bottom. I'm surprised I can't find much info on this, my tv can't be the only 1 running 150 deg F. The few examples I have found online were to "rigged" for my liking. I can't find 12v on my SMPS but 15v should be fine as long as I use a fan controller, I'm just worried about load and interference.Comment

Re: Is there a good way to wire fans to turn on with tv?
load is low,
interference will be unknown till you try.
but i double it cant be stopped with a choke or a ferite-ring.Comment

Re: Is there a good way to wire fans to turn on with tv?
It would be nice to hook it up to a constant power source, and use a thermistor.
That way the fan only turns on after a while when the TV becomes hot.
And it will cool the TV down even after you turn it off...
Obviously with a potentiometer aswell so you can set a good trip point for when to start the fan...

Re: Is there a good way to wire fans to turn on with tv?
Your average fans are just too damned noisy!
I have used fans in the past, but run them at 5V where they are quiet and get the job done. Ive fitted a few to various plasma sets on hot parts such as the Y-SUS boards etc, the temp of the heatsinks is reduced tremendously, even though they are circulating air that is Inside the case. They dont seem to get cacked up with so much dust either!
Using fans to draw air into or out of the case has its own issues--They block up with dust in a pretty short time with the small grilles usually used.--Check out your average Panasonic plasma fans next time you got one!TELEFIX

These fans, are pretty good. They don't move a lot of air, but it's enough and they are very quite:

Re: Is there a good way to wire fans to turn on with tv?
Thanks for the suggestions and comments.
This was my first plan but after looking at a few schematics I decided this would be too time consuming for me to build. After thinking about options and more searching I found these fans that should work well. They come in 80mm also.

Re: Is there a good way to wire fans to turn on with tv?
Yea fans with built in thermistors are also nice, I have a couple 80mm SilentX fans that I like.
The one you found seems better, it has a long cable for the thermistor (Not that it can't be modded on the one I have of course)"The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it."Comment

Re: Is there a good way to wire fans to turn on with tv?
I don't know what temp turns the fans on but I figure I can move the thermistor around to adjust it.Comment

Re: Is there a good way to wire fans to turn on with tv?
it's not a case of on/off - it changes the speed relative to the temperature.Comment

Re: Is there a good way to wire fans to turn on with tv?
no, they will spin enough to move air at room temp
you should be able to get a datasheet with the airflow tables.Comment

Re: Is there a good way to wire fans to turn on with tv?
I can't find any fans that turn on and off based on temp so can anyone here tell me where I can hook to my SMPS without any problems? I don't even know if there is a 12v source and I don't really want to use any resistors on the 15v and I don't want the fans on all the time if the tv is only on around 30% of the time.Comment

Re: Is there a good way to wire fans to turn on with tv?
if the 15v is switched with the tv, then use the 15v and put a 7812 regulator and a couple of caps on some stripboard - dont forget to bolt a heatsink on it.
if you want to run them slower use a 7809 or 7808 but it will generate more heat!Comment

Hi to all forum members,
This psu (Tiny Tech model ATX 480W) had been installed in a very old Windows XP PC but recently i pulled it out as the pc cannot start. To test it, i jumped the green wire and black wire on the 24 pin connector. The psu fan jerk a bit but not spinning. I used my dmm to check dc voltage on output connector wire, the 5v red wire keeps ticking a bit at around dc1v....then drops and ticking again around 1v. It is the same situation with the 12v yellow wire.
Fyi, i desoldered the secondary side electrolytic cap those over 1000uf... -
Hello guys. I have a problem with a PNY XLR8 GAMING RTX3090 graphics card. The problem is that it displays and works fine, but the fans don't spin at all. The problem occurred when someone else removed the fans in order to clean it and broke one of the fan connectors. He replaced it himself and after that, it wasn't working anymore. I guess he damaged something else in the process. What i have done so far: I found 2 capacitors next to the connector that were in a bad shape, he must have touched them with his tools - they weren't shorted, but i replaced them with similar ones from a similar card....04-12-2024, 06:54 AM -
Hello, i have some issues with my laptop Lenovo Y700-17ISK (motherboard BY511 NM-A541), it started when i turn on the laptop, but the lcd wont turn on, i then connected it via hdmi to tv and screen was ok. So i thought maybe lcd stripe is faulty, i removed the bottom cover, disconnected main battery, reset the cmos by disconnecting battery for 1 min, then slighty move the lcd stripe. Conncted power supply and tuned on my laptop, the lcd turn on, it started to load os, then it turn off, after a second it turn on, then after like 3 seconds turn off again, and so on. Removed power supply, waited... -

Hi All,
I am having an issue with my Vizio M65-C1 where it does not turn on. When I plug it in the stand by light on bottom left of screen turns on (white) then fades away. If I press the power button it turn back on and then fades until it is super dim.
When I remove cover, there are no illuminated leds on the main board, I've seen others with a red/blue led that turns on.
I've done some research and what is interesting is my voltages all seem slightly different from other people. For example +5/3.5v is 3.48V when on which is different from others on here....
