In this way, we learn how to improve our products for our customers. In addition, the excellent results of long-term testing give us the assurance that our products are not only outstanding in terms of quality but also durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want to improve the cooling efficiency of your computer you get several case fans working in parallel (since it takes 10 fans to double the noise level). But what does it help if they don't work together? The PST assures that all of your fans listen to one control signal. E.g. you share the CPU Cooler's PWM signal and assure that your case fans stand down at low load and spin up whenever necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PWM function allows the motherboard to run the fan precisely at its necessary speed.
