[0045] The external graphics card bottom plate also has a PWM (pulse width modulation) adjustment function, which can adjust the speed of the fan according to the temperature of the graphics card to achieve better cooling effect. When the temperature of the graphics card is high, the PWM regulator will increase the speed of the fan to improve the cooling effect; when the temperature of the graphics card is low, the PWM regulator will reduce the speed of the fan to reduce noise and power consumption.

[0051] In specific implementation, the embodiment can support two-way DP output, expanding the application scenarios of the utility model.

[0052] The 5V fan power supply circuit also supports PWM adjustment and fan switching function. The PWM regulator can adjust the speed of the 5V fan according to the temperature of the graphics card to achieve better cooling effect.
