its a button on the back of the psu. If it is pressed in then it wont use the psu fan until it reaches a specific temp or wattage. If it is left out then the fan will keep a minimum speed.
The device becomes quite noisy when you're not accustomed to it. I accidentally turned it on while fixing my waterloop, and I wasn't sure why it was blowing so hard.
After several tries, placing the CPU in the room with the air conditioner helps. Even better, a small desk fan aimed at the CPU performs just as well for lowering humidity. It struggles when RH exceeds 80%, but the fan still cuts down the moisture rapidly. Thanks!
The AC lowers the capacity of air to hold moisture, which naturally limits how much can build up. A heater functions by retaining water in the air rather than on a surface, but it also causes your CPU to warm up. In contrast, a fan maintains movement within the air, preventing buildup and allowing any excess to evaporate quickly. It doesn't truly cut humidity levels, but it enhances sweat evaporation, which cools your skin.
