Abstract
An automatic temperature display and fan rotary speed adjusting device having an operation display panel which is capable of being connected to a disk drive frame, a cover plate or a computer panel. The operation display panel is combined to the computer panel directly, or to the 5.25 inches disk drive frame, or to the 5.25 inches disk drive cover plate, or to the 3.5 inches disk drive cover plate, in each case, the operation display panel is installed with a control circuit board, a thermometer and a connecting terminal connected to a heat dissipating fan. The window is connected to the thermometer. The thermometer is fixed or installed to the hard disk drive, central processing unit or computer. An IC in a circuit board will display the temperature measured by the thermometer and the rotary speed of the fan on the window. A circuit of the fan adjusting button is connected to the circuit board and electric heat dissipating fan. Thus, the rotary speeds of the fans is controllable by the fan adjusting button directly.
