Hey! I manage PC case fans using Arduino and MOSFET transistors through PWM. I’m curious if case fans have a minimum speed limit below which their lifespan might decrease? Or is it safe to run them at the lowest possible speeds?
P.S. The temperatures should remain acceptable even at low speeds.

Based on my observations, the primary concern is that running an electric motor at a speed lower than its intended design can lead to overheating. As long as this doesn't happen, things should remain okay.
