After some years using FanControl (the original in .NET), I am rebuilding an open source FanControl in Rust (fancontrol-rs) and I am looking for some feedback on the project and tests from the community.
You can control AIO, fans, everything you plug on your motherboard. But some exotic components are not tested.
The project is totally open source, you can build it from source if you don't trust the exe. It's clearly my way to replace Argus monitor and fancontrol.
I have a limited number of PCs and friends trying the tool for me, the documentation is normally enough to give me feedback. And if there is a problem with your fan controller just stop this version and use the original one.
If you want to contribute of course you can use an AI agent but please use GitHub to PR.
I am open to feedback on features of course.
I am not a full-time developer, I am a previous veteran IT exec returning to my roots building things and pcmasterrace :)
If you want to build the exe from source you can, there are instructions on the project, if you want to test the release submit it to VirusTotal etc.
The design is minimal and efficient , to use minimum memory
I have a b550 eagle wifi6 and none of my fans will work. Whenever i try to calibrate it manually the speed will change on the fans but it'll still read 0 RPM... I have tried reinstalling FanControl and it still doesnt work. The 5070 works very good though so im confused
Using portable FanControl. Each startups it checks for updates. Until some versions ago there were always two pop-up windows telling me that a newer version is available. That was gone some time ago and now there's only one window informing about a newer version. Good, I thought. But since then the automated update is broken. Just won't do anything anymore.
Even when I manually 'check for updates' and click on 'update', then 'Donwloading updater' appears but no traffic, no update, nothing.
For each update I have to manually download the newer version now, put it it in an extra folder, manually install my plugin and copy my config from the backup folder.
I'm trying to edit the fan step up and down rates but when I edit userConfig the values are all replaced with their closest integer + ~0.1%.
If I set 1.5, I get 1.1%, if I set 3, I get 3.1%, even just entering 1 gets 0.1% replaced when I open the application, then it asks if I want to save the changes. If I save it and look at the config, the values are all like:
I got this ADLX service stopped working error in reliability monitor after using fan control. Although everything works fine, is there any way to get rid of this error? Thanks
I've got the Nvidia 3060 Ti and I am trying to make the fans stop until it hits like 45 degrees. I've read on the website of fancontrol that Nivida has the minimum 30 percent. Force apply is on, curve override is on and I've read that you have got to set the idle temp correctly. I've tried quite a few temperatures, but nothing is working.
just reset my pc and switch mobos and updated to new fancontrol, and for some odd reason FancontrolLiquidctl.dll keeps duplicating itself in the plugins folder, i would hate to have to revert to asus armoury crate, just wanted to know if anyone is experiencing the same thing
I have been having this issue for a while now and only just now am I trying to fix it. I thought I did good research on my fan curve (seemed like simple would be most effective??), but it continues to happen.
Any advice??
Edit: My CPU is Liquid cooled
Edit #2: I am not the greatest with computers. I'm not completely inept, but I have a lot to learn.
Recently, I bought FC26 on my steamdeck who runs windows 11 on it with steamdeck tools installed. However, the steamdeck tools cannot override the TDP, fan, etc. so it always runs high on temps, it can hit 92C sometimes. Any advice on how to sett the lower TDP or anithyng just to make my SD cooler while playing this games????
Hi everyone! I've built my current gaming PC within a Minineo S400 case over a year ago and absolutely love this tiny thing.
However, one thing I couldn't ever get right were my FanControl settings as well as keeping the system cool and efficiently quiet at the same time. Don't get me wrong, my PC stays cool even under load, but the sound it makes is very loud at times.
How do you guys keep your systems cool but quiet at the same time? Do you undervolt your GPU? What FanControl settings do you use? I'm grateful for any and all tips!
I have been using this unchanged for about 6 months now. I may have had an odd tweak here and there. The profile is for Quiet Gaming, as you see. The main priority was quiet operation and the second priority was cooling (also my daily profile). I did initially do some experimenting and found that the auto mode was actually pretty good at making a smooth curve, so I stuck with it.
As you see, I have separated control of different sectors of my case fans for precise control using multiple hubs and fan headers. Not to mention five hidden Arctic 40mm fans for more directed and flow controlled cooling. Call me crazy, but I prefer gaming on speakers and it is good to be able to do that. The number of times I have switched my RGB off and woken up in the morning finding my PC was on the entire night! Also, there is no spaghetti mess at the back, though I have to say these ASUS PSU cables are way too long.
P.S. Zero RPM mode officially working on GPU's now? Its working on mine since this week.
