Zusammenfassung:A smart cooling fan system is disclosed, and comprises a first temperature sensor, a second temperature sensor, a first cooling fan connected to a main processor of an electronic device, a second cooling fan disposed in a housing case of the electronic device, and a microcontroller. The microcontroller is configured to, based on immediate fan rotation speed, find out a first volumetric flow rate and a second volumetric flow rate by looking up a CFM-RPM lookup table (LUT), a first PWM LUT and a second PWM LUT, the microcontroller controls the first cooling fan to produce a first airflow having the first volumetric flow rate, and also controls the second cooling fan to produce a second airflow having the second volumetric flow rate. As a result, the operating temperature of the main processor and an ambient temperature of the housing case are therefore immediately reduced.
