Abstract
A heat dissipation control system comprises a sensing unit, an artificial neural network computing unit, and two heat dissipation units. The artificial neural network computing unit performs computation for controlling based on a plurality of electronic-device temperatures sent out by the sensing unit. The computation for controlling performs a back propagation algorithm on an objective function which is defined a as the square of an error function. Accordingly, cooling effects suitable for the heat dissipation units are generated in order to achieve an optimum heat dissipation effect.
