    4-3 The Introduction of DIY COOL Function Advanced Thermal Solution System for PWM (The active cooling fan is Optional) “DIY COOL” function is the unique thermal solution for PWM. The special and cost-effective design can be the exhaust valve of exhausting the heat generated by PWM effectively. With the small but quiet active 55mm cooling fan to decrease the temperature of PWM, we can extend the MTBF of the capacitors up to 30% and get more stability of the system working under the higher and higher frequency in the future.
