hello, I made a circuit to control the fan speed
1. first circuit

BAT -> 24V input



2. second circuit



both circuits work fine. But there's one difference
first circuit : FET temperature 38℃
the gate voltage is set to 12v to lower the temperature of the fet.
second circuit : FET temperature 28℃
Q1) why does the second circuit works better?(i think it's all about switching-time but how could i fix it?)
Q2) if first circuit is wrong, is there a gate driver circuit(totem pole, push-pull) that does not require the use of an extra 12 volt regulator?
It's my hypothesis.
1. first circuit's gate current is lower then second circuit
2. first circuit's gate resistor is too high (i changed R5 270R, R9 10R but i got same result)
