• Temperature-controlled fans adjust to compensate for changing thermal characteristics. At
the lower speeds they draw less power and suffer less wear. Equally important in a crowded
data center, temperature-controlled fans produce less ambient noise in the data center than if
they were constantly running at full speed.
