A method for controlling total power consumption of a system by setting maximum rotation speed of a fan is provided, which is applied to a system at least having a heat-generating element, a fan, and a controller. The method includes: setting a controller with a maximum rotation speed limit value of the fan; reading a rotation speed of the fan by the controller; and determining, by the controller, whether the rotation speed of the fan reaches the maximum rotation speed limit value, if yes, a pulse-width modulation value of the fan is set by the controller as a pulse-width modulation value upper limit corresponding to the maximum rotation speed limit value; therefore, a feedback is provided for the fan through the controller to control total power consumption of the system.
A method for controlling total power consumption of a system by setting a maximum rotation speed of a fan, which is applied to a system at least comprising a heat-generating element, the fan and a controller, wherein the method comprises:
