New open standard promises complete control over your PC’s temperature, noise and performance.
Fickle graphics card namer Nvidia has just announced another three-letter acronym to learn in the form of ESA.
This stands for Enthusiast System Architecture, and it’s intended to give enthusiasts complete control over their PC’s temperature, speed and noise.
The idea is that the independent components in your PC that don’t communicate via a system bus, such as the chassis, coolers and PSU, will now be able to communicate with your operating system.
An ESA component will feature an embedded micro-controller, which will then hook up to the PC via USB, either externally through a cable, or internally via a motherboard header.
This micro-controller is capable of both sending and receiving information, but whether a component can both send and receive information is up to the manufacturer.
