Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the operating rate of the graphics card is increased to improve performance, then the processing speed and graphical output quality are improved, but the temperature of the GPU chip increases and the risk of damage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by adjusting the fan rotation rate before increasing the operating rate of the graphics card. The control unit first raises the fan rotation rate to a first rotation rate, ensuring adequate cooling capacity is prepared in advance before the GPU chip temperature increases due to higher operating rates. This prevents temperature-related damage while allowing performance optimization.
2Productivity
If the operating rate of the graphics card is increased to improve performance, then the processing speed is improved, but the voltage stability and risk of component damage worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by adjusting voltages before increasing the operating rate. The control unit first raises the voltage inputted to the GPU chip to a first voltage and the voltage inputted to the memory to a second voltage, ensuring voltage stability is established before the increased operating rate is applied. This prevents voltage-related instability and component damage.
3Productivity
If the operating rate of the graphics card is increased to improve performance, then the processing speed is improved, but the timing synchronization and system stability worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by adjusting timing parameters before increasing the operating rate. The control unit first raises the timing of the GPU chip to a first timing and the timing of the memory to a second timing, ensuring timing synchronization is established before the increased operating rate is applied. This prevents timing-related instability and system failures.
4Adaptability or versatility
If trial and error method is used to adjust the operating rate, then the user can find optimal settings, but the time consumption increases and the risk of damage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies feedback by using a control unit that automatically monitors system parameters and adjusts the operating rate based on real-time conditions. The control unit receives user input and systematically adjusts fan rotation rate, voltages, and timing parameters while monitoring system response, eliminating the need for manual trial and error. This reduces adjustment time and eliminates the risk of user-induced damage while finding optimal settings.

AI summary
A method for increasing an operating rate of a graphics card includes: raising a rotation rate of a radiator fan of a graphics processing unit chip of the graphics card to a first rotation rate according to a rate increasing command; raising a voltage inputted to the graphics processing unit chip to a first voltage, and raising a voltage inputted to a memory of the graphics card to a second voltage when the rotation rate of the radiator fan is approximately equal to the first rotation rate; and raising a timing of the graphics processing unit chip to a first timing, and raising a timing of the memory to a second timing when the voltage inputted to the graphics processing unit chip is approximately equal to the first voltage, the voltage inputted to the memory being approximately equal to the second voltage.
