Download Microcontroller-Based PC Thermometer with Regulated Fan

6. The Scope and Delimitation
The study was concerned with the development of a design called
Microcontroller-based PC Thermometer with Regulated Fan that serves as a
cooling and temperature monitoring of a computer. The research study set
the scope and delimitation as follows:
1. The prototype can be place in any computer that has CD/DVD ROM rack
of the CPU as an additional hardware;
2. The LCD will only display the current temperature inside the casing and
corresponding fan speed;
3. The device receives its power from the computer’s PSU (Power Supply
Unit) that produces 5V and 12V;
4. The sensor can be mounted in any part of the CPU that needs
temperature monitoring;
5. The thermally activated fan is included to help maintaining desirable
temperature inside the CPU; and
6. The prototype is designed for server use.
The delimitations of the design of the “Microcontroller-based PC
Thermometer with Regulated Fan” are as follows:
1. The LCD can only display the current temperature inside the casing in
degrees Celsius format;
2. There should be an available connector from the PSU (Power Supply
Unit) as a source of power;
