Return to BlogPC Cooling Using Automatic Air Vents

One good thing about this mod is the way the top panel reacts on the computer’s temperature change where it opens and closes compared to the use of traditional cooling methods. The mod is named as tempest SXR as it uses an NZXT Tempest EVO.
An Arduino board and servo motor provide the operation of the vents in the top panel. The opening and closing of the fins is handled by the servo motor which is driven by the Arduino after sensing the temperature from the motherboard. An illuminated LCD screen near the front part of the top panel can be used to read the temperature. Some ports are also available.
