Smart Fan Control

To further improve Shuttle XPC thermal and acoustic performance, Shuttle XPC’s include Smart Fan functionality to intelligently monitor and control the cooling fans. Smart Fan incorporates linear control metrics to provide optimal cooling. Under normal conditions, Smart Fan keeps the fan speed low, minimizing acoustic noise. When the load increases, Smart Fan increases the fan speed to provide optimal cooling.

The newer Shuttle XPC's feature a large 92mm CPU cooling fan, capable of maximum 50 CFM airflow. This fan features a 4-pin header, i.e PWM spec, and be linearly controlled in BIOS. This fan is designed to spin relatively slowly, depending on the processor using and the heat generated.
