Donation done. we need more guys like this, if only to show the big boys how it should be done with small independent developers showing the way.
yes
Inb4 the big boys offer the lone dev a choice they can't refuse.
Work for us, or we bury you in lawsuits. Maybe they're spurious, but you'll go bankrupt fighting them.
The free market is a joke. Never has existed, never will exist.
Just donated too. The headaches I've had with other software, I tell you what. FanXpert straight up forgets the fan configuration at random. Afterburner drops fan control like a hot potato when it's not running. With this Fan Control software, it's only a few megabytes and does a stellar job of making everything reliable and easy to use. And even beats the other software in functionality too.
@@chillhour6155 why msi?
@@Tirth-Patel or Asus, one of the 2 big compnies, they'll probably just integrate it somewhere similar to what happened with RivaTuner, I do prefer software like this to be more open source like DDU though, but then again I get it, if he can get paid good for him, it's hard going out there
Been using this software since it first came out and it has been regularly updated. Support this developer! it’s now the first thing I install on any pc
Same here, I have been using it for a while now too. Works great
Same, started using it when I built my computer 2 y ago, combining conditions is awesome
Why we already have Argus Monitor....
same. second thing to install after chrome
@@PabzRoz And that is a reason to not use other software or support it? It is like saying you shouldn't use MSI Afterburner because EVGA Precision exists or you shouldn't use GIMP because Photoshop exists. The fuck is wrong with people.
Not only does Fan Control look awesome, this was one of the best J2C videos I’ve seen. I could feel the passion and energy Jay has for these kinds of developers, pieces of software, and the community. Pumped Jay is infectious.
Also, on same topic, I used to use NZXT Cam to control case fans based on GPU, but I never liked having to use a hub.
Thanks for shedding light on this Jay! I was a long time user of SpeedFan, and for the longest time it felt like the only "non brand specific" reliable fan control software out there, though it had it's own limitations. Looking forward to trying this out!
Speed fan never worked, so I used argus monitor, while not free, it worked well.
Yeah speedfan for me has been very hit and miss. Going to try this one out for sure.
its the same code....
@@yotoprules9361 Argus Monitor works great, but now that we know about this it'll be a great alternative.

I love FanControl! I've been using it since 2019. I have one suggestion for people that use it though. Open the program, click the three-dots, then click sensor settings and uncheck "Storage" monitoring. I found that having this monitoring turned on would make it difficult for me to unmount drives at times (I have a dual-SATA drive dock and a couple of USB docks). Simply unchecking this option fixed the issue entirely. I highly highly recommend FanControl though! My favorite feature is setting up custom curves that will link, for example, the speed of exhaust fans to whatever is the highest temperature in the PC (GPU or CPU) so that there will always be enough air exiting the case when there is a lot of heat being generated.
I donated $100 USD (I live in Canada, so around $135 CAD) to Remí because I believe independent developers should be supported. Especially those who succeed in creating programs with common sense functionality, which big companies are often somehow incapable of implementing.
And you're a sucker and simple-minded

Whoa yes! Agree also!
Just moved away from iCUE and got myself 10 Arctic P12's....this software is amazing :)

NaN is programming shorthand for “Not a Number”. Usually happens when a variable isn’t given an initial value when it’s created, but also can represent division by zero or other infinite numbers.
*number-adjacent concepts
or if you're trying to construct a number from a value that cannot be converted to a number, ex (In Javascript)
console.log(Number("Lol"))
@@Dalrae lol
@@Dalrae That entirely depends on the way primitive conversion is implemented (if at all) in the particular programming language you're using. Most sensible languages would just throw an error if you're trying to do that.
That's the new thing I learned today!
Just to clarify in case anyone gets confused. The "max" function on the "mix" curve selects the "max" fan percentage. NOT the max temperature. For example: if the GPU was 40C but you set it to spin fans at 100%... And the CPU was at 80C and you set it to run fans at 30%... The mix set to "max" would favor GPU and spin at 100% even though the GPU is cooler
So, I want to control the speed of the intake fan blowing air directly towards my GPU to be controlled either by CPU temp, with the rest of my case fans like it normally would, or by GPU temp, for when the GPU is running hotter than the CPU. They both usually hover around 36-40°C when idle, depending on ambient temperature.
Shouldn't setting identical fan curves in Fan Control for both CPU und GPU achieve that and circumvent the scenario you described?
Question! Does it work on Linux ?
@@bloodangel13 Probably not.
You can do a "mix" custom sensor that picks whatever the highest input temperature is, then you can set a custom fan curve using that mix sensor as an input. I think that's what Jay was trying to do.
That makes more sense. I had concerns with what Jay was saying because selecting curves based on max temp could result in sudden big RPM jumps if the curves are quite different
1 year ago im watching this video after i found your channel, and it changed the way i thought about "annoying" controlling my fans, with no clue on what i was doing, straight up donated some money to rem and you got a new subscriber, im passionate about hardware and you guys teach so much interesting stuff!! keep up the good work
Been using it for a year or so, and was flabbergasted that one guy managed to *finally* come up with a sleek and intuitive all-in-one fan (or pump) control interface. No more proprietary, RGB-infested bloatware by ASUS, MSI, EVGA etc. The fact that you can customize the GUI so deeply is the icing on top. It's so good, I just had to donate.
I tried to control my CPU fans from the MSI app, it was a nightmare !
Can it control non PMW case fans?
@@samuelking1347 I have shit DC case fans and believe it or not this software is so powerful that now these shitty fans work as good as PWMs, no sudden rpm changes, everything evenly according to set graph.

in bios, do you leave fan as AUTO?
As a software developer, I appreciate your support for these guys!
YES, YOU LISTENED, THANK YOU.
I don't know if you saw my comment of if someone else brought it to your attention, but thank you.
Also, pro-tip: You can have both Afterburner running alongside this. Disable user control and custom fan curve in Afterburner and just leave it on Auto, then FanControl will take control of the GPU's fans ;-)
Thank you for making this software Milan. It's already making a huge difference for me!
Excellent protip! 📌 this shizzzzz
what about with AI suite?
I'm never using any other fan control software again. It's crazy that mobo manufacturer's always have to make their software such a pain to work with, meanwhile one guy managed to make something that gets the job done without fighting the user, and for FREE!!! I donated as well because work like this deserves to be rewarded.
this is EXACTLY how i want my case fans to act. have a curve for each hot component (gpu/cpu) and just take the highest value of those curves for the case fans. its brilliant!
Deceptivly simple. And it works like a dream.
Yes, really clever idea and so simple, it makes you wonder why no-one has implemented it before.
OK, I just built a new PC, and I'm using an AiO for the first time ever, and I have some questions about the fans the program has identified. I was able to ID all of them, except one, and I'm wondering if that's somehow linked to the AiO pump itself, but doesn't respond to fan controls. I've found the one that adjusts the 2 actual fans on the AiO heatsink, and I've also found the Case In fan on the front of my PC, and the Case Out at the rear above the I/O connectors, and they all change speed when I adjust the slider. Only one slider does seemingly nothing...
@@overseastom So the AIO radiator has 3 fans and one isn't responding to the sliders? Did you daisy chain it with the other 2 fans or where is it connected?
@@little_fluffy_clouds Jay said it. The big C's already have your money and don't really care.
Since 2008 this has always been the missing peice to custom pc builds for me.
Thanks Remi for developing and Jay for putting it out there.
This is literally what I’ve been searching for, for the last 3 days thank you jay and anyone that reads this if you can support the guy that made it
I wanted this kind of software like 6-7 years ago, definitely I will donate. Thanks Jayz.
All the Mbo manufacturers give you their Spyware, Risktool, Open Vulnerabilities Pandoras crate software for over 15 years . Now we have a choice to keep our system clean and be able to ctrl the fans.
Hope they will keep future updates clean.
Thanks for showing this! After 30 minutes of using it, it was an instant decision to donate to the dev. We need to support projects like this!

I've donated him several times and its worth every penny.
He really deserves it.
If you have troubles, he even answers you with constructive solutions.
He does regular updates, which takes seconds to perform.
The perfect fan control software.
He should get a gold medal for this
I haven't really contributed to open-source projects before so I'm not sure how it's done, but I would be totally willing to contribute to the project directly. He's probably about to get swamped with support tickets and could probably use some extra hands.

@@FastSloth87 YES ! Same here.

And he's one guy...alone.
@@webx135 If you download it and open the program, you will either be greeted with a message with donation info.
Or you can find it on the left side on the program when running.

And remember; it's just him. Not a billion dollar company that have no limits.
It's just Remi.
I don't think he'll get a lot of support tickets.
Jay clearly explain every aspect of the program, and I've never ever had any bugs or problems with it. It just works.
Trust me, it's worth your money instead.
Haven't used it yet, but I just donated on general principle. I love simple, elegant solutions like this. Looking foreward to using it.
it was one of the first pieces of software I have installed on my PC as I have finished building it last August. It's really amazing. Over time my fan curves and sensor combinations grew more complex and the system got cooler without fans freaking out at every load spike.
EDIT: I wanted to mention one more way of dealing with the after-blow without too long response times. Add a custom sensor for 300 sec average temp and a sensor for 5 sec average. Add a custom sensor with max function of the both 300 and 5 sec average. This max is now the temperature source for your component (CPU for example). So it will ramp up quickly enough and bring down the 5 minute average after that. In my case it's a 420mm AIO that's going to get thermal soaked. You can use the 5 minute average for mixing like Jay did for the CPU/GPU max and set the exhaust fan for the same purpose of cooling down the hotbox after sustained load. The opportunities are endless!
You're explanation of setting the pump at a static speed is great, in cars they restrict the flow rate of the coolant because if it flows at full speed it doesn't have time to extract the heat from the engine.
A lower flow rate is best, as long as it is still able to keep the temps cool
Does leaving the pump speed to 100% realy reduce life duration of the pump ?
Cause almost everywhere , manufacturers , official computer shops , and comments say that the pump speed must be used at 100%
@@shirakolee Yes
@@aintchorrollmodel182 Do youhave a source ? Cause Asus , AMD , the Shop seller That made the computer And even the motherboard itself say itshould be 100% , only fans can be lowered , they say faster Will make it harder for the pump to survive longer
Well its not realy important now since i do encoding all Day, but thx
@@shirakolee Best bet is to lower the speed and get more efficient fans.
Sadly the one system I need this for is soo old that the hardware support is lacking and it cannot control any of the fans (except GPU). Not his fault. Also I want to point out that he relies on other projects for the driver support, so we should be supporting the projects that mange the hardware driver development as well.
ironically the same happened for me. On my old system it can only control the gpu fans but not the AIO nor the PWM fan that comes with the AIO
Probably same for me: mainboard msi b75-A43 with i7-3770, nothing exept gpu fan. Using argus monitor fine for several years however
@@jeanbon6084 wih anything older than 1st gen Ryzen, you schould use SpeedFan instead. it's old and not as easy to set up, but for me it worked for over 15 years.
@@GodOfSarkasm thank you, but actually i have "argus monitor" (paid), it works great with good features but a bit outdated.
Are you sure you just have not enabled it? on mine only the GPU was enabled by default all the others greyed out. You just have to untick hide
This software has made my life easier since I heard about it. Not downloading separate bloatware for hardware control for the PC's I build and is way better. I am glad Jay did this video and donated to the project what is essential to keep great developers developing the software that is actually good and not just more bloat. Great on you Jay
I am completely floored by this little program. It's simple, effective and completely independent. I can't wait to get home and give it a go. If you ever wonder what content we need more of it's stuff like this 👌. Thanks Jay
ALWAYS look for third party solutions, mate. C code is C code. VB is VB. Python is Python. There is nothing special about anything going on inside a computer outside of the CPUs instruction set. Its all based on available standardized protocols and usually available datasheets. All its takes is a bit of knowhow and tinkering to come up with a solution that blows holes in their little walled gardens of implied (and falsely so) proprietary software.
Speaking of, want enterprise level routing from your cheap home router? check out OpenWRT, DDWRT, tomato...... Unleash the hardware you paid for!
Big thanks to Jay for the rather quick explanation and to Rem0o for creating the software.
I had to go through 6h of troubleshooting why my SSD wouldn't let me install windows with all 8 fans inside the case going at max RPM, and when I finally managed to install this, it was showing percentages working, but the fans weren't responding. So it can also be used to troubleshoot.
Actually hearing saver for me. I can still hear the airplane inside the room in my head.
Finally got around to sitting down and using this. The way you (Jay) set it up in the video actually doesn't seem to go off the highest temperature, but rather the highest fan curve. I played around a bit and what you actually want to do is make a Mix Sensor. Add your CPU and GPU temp sensors to that and change it to Max, THEN make a Fan Curve based on that Mix Sensor.
I prefer my GPU to be 0 RPM below 40C, so this is how I discovered the issue with just making a Mixed Curve. I have a GPU curve set to the GPU fans and then the Mix Sensor Curve set to the chassis/rad fans.
Hope that helps every one!
I think max PWM signal from individual fan curves is the more sensible approach because raw temperatures aren't that interesting, you could have two components that have vastly different preferred temperatures, like you may either want to have more overclocking room on your CPU and keep its maximum temperature lower, or on the other hand you might not care about the CPU that much and you're fine with it being anywhere just short of throttle limit, you just want your GPU to have fresh happy air when it needs it. So even if he hasn't worded it that way it may have been quite exactly what he wanted.
@@SianaGearz With a custom temp sensor set to max applied to the case fans, you still set the PWM curve to whatever you want and you only have to do it once, then ALL components benefit.
@@dangerwr What’s the type of curve that you created for the mix custom sensor? I mean is it a graph curve or another one?
Because I can’t seem to add the mix custom sensor directly to my CASE Fans curve.
@@parsatww7115 After creating the Mix Sensor, you need to add a Graph curve and set the custom sensor to that, then customize it to your liking.
@@dangerwr Thanks, BTW you said in the above comment that you made another graph curve for the GPU, to set that curve for the GPU fans I imagine?
Is it better to do that, or the mix sensor is enough?
I had this for well over a year and I was always wondering why literally nobody of the big tech tubers ever talks about it. I'm glad you help make this more popular
because major O.E.M already provide it with pack or from flashing EZ update of Bios. So, it's no big deal to control fan.
Nobody talks about them because just about anyone who has an Nvidia graphics card or any major graphics card, they come with an application where you have full control over the same thing 🤦🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@goku4393 right, just about anyone who has an Nvidia graphics card has the Nvidia experience, where you can control your fan and even set it to be automatic and it can pick up when it starts overheating an automatically adjust the temperature and speed of the fan 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@sasukeuchihaanbucapt I have an Nvidia card and that didn't come with any software that let's me control my case fans and make them ramp up when my GPU gets hot.

I have found that fan controlling software has always lacked, and it got so bad at one point to be unusable, so I bought a Thermaltake Commander F6. Now I have complete control manually by spinning a knob. I wish this software would have been available during that time. So my next question is, If a single person can develop something this good, why is this lost on the big software and hardware devs? Function over Aesthetics!
Boy I can't agree more. I remember once at a local computer store years ago, my sister and I were going over the wall of fans, comparing CFMs, static pressure (if listed) and DBs, looking to get the most of first two, and the least of third, while wishing for dual ball bearings instead of a glob of grease between two plastic sleeves... some kid came up to us after hearing us talk (argue?) and asked if we could answer a question as he was looking for the coolest looking fan. So my sister said 'fans are for FFFFF' (she blew) and lights are for looks. Then we explained what we were looking for. So I then said, 'so what you get depends on the purpose, if one with lights has the features that work well _AS A FAN_ then go for it. But remember it is a fan first...
Because I think it's like how apple is. Companies are trying to make it to where you need their techs to mess with their products. Just speculation though. I didn't know much on this specifically till a year ago and it took some searching. It isn't very common either cause it did take some searching.
@@taekwoncrawfish9418 One of me. Nah companies will stop at nothing to make that a reality. People tend to forget that windows already tried to do this type of thing. Luckily the FCC stopped them.
@@taekwoncrawfish9418 Also an anecdotal experience citing yourself using 3rd party software literally has nothing to do with the point that companies want control over an area of the market and will do everything they can before getting caught to corner that market.
@@taekwoncrawfish9418 Bruh you came into argue a point I agree with.
Been using this software for the last 18 months since I saw this video. It’s incredible how intuitive it is and just how effective. The fact that you can make changes on the fly without needing to reboot -> save bios -> reboot again is fantastic.
Like others say it’s one of the first things I install on a new build and I setup a $15 monthly PayPal subscription/ renewal to Remi. Well deserved.
I found this same utility a few months ago when looking for similar control of fan speeds without all of the Asus bloatware. It’s powerful and flexible yet light on resources. Impressive stuff and definitely need to support the developer.

I've been using FanControl for a while. It's actually incredible. The ability to tie my case fan speed to my gpu's temps is a game changer

Yes, yes, yes man. Been using this for my watercooled setup for about a year. So glad Jay shouted you out.
Your comment needs to be Pinned!
Thanks for your work! I haven't started using it yet, but when i get my water loop rebuilt, im planning to use implement its use.
Jay! Thank you for this, I have a CoolerMaster q500l a relatively small case, called by other owners as a "hotbox". This software helped me get CPU temps down, from 88-90C to 66-70C, I wanted to get a new CPU cooler since the one i currently use is 7 years old, and was used with my previous 6600K now used with the 11600k. This saved me a lot of money.
hey how did you identify which control was controlling your water pump?
@@dimitridrivalas7423
Great question, that bugged my mind too.
When i got the AIO (its a 280mm be quiet one), the instruction manual said to hook it up to the "ext_Cpu_Fan" pins, so that is what i did. I have that shown in the fan control program called as "CPU Optional Fan" and i just set it to manual and 100%, i don't think you would want to ever stop or slow down the waterpump. I measured it with a multimeter, yup, 12V all the way.
You can also identify it in the program because it will not have an RPM (since the pump doesn't have an RPM pin, ((it's the 4th pin)) so it doesn't get any data back from the pump).
I hope this helped.
I have literally been waiting for something this powerful for a decade. This is amazing! Donation inbound. Thank you Rem0o, and thanks for putting the word out Jay.
Only thing that worries me is that even though it is on github, it is not open source (just the binaries are available)... And this is more important for independent software. That is the only aspect the official sources have over this.
Little Correction: If you have a 3 fan GPU, it might only show 2 fans. It did for me and according to some reading I've done it's normal for some GPUs. If anyone was wondering!
it takes two of the three fans as one then, thats at least what it did for me.
mine too, took 2 fans instead of 3
Thanks for this
Ya im seeing this on my 4070 Ti, interesting...
My 2 fan card only shows as one. 6600xt and the old 580 did the same.
looks awesome and especially "simple" without any over the top UI that looks like a flashgames website from the early 2000s. Would be nice if you could maybe do some sort of overview for programms like these every quarter or so.
Wow, I can finally achieve optimal speeds with my air-cooled AMD 3950X/RX7900 XTX machine without crashing or throttling using a mixed CPU/GPU curve. Donated to the author, and many thanks to you!
Man jay you are really the man. Everytime I am looking for a fan control software you come through I remember the old software "fan control" man time fly's.
quality. I've wanted something like this but never wanted to get additional gear or some overcomplicated motherboard
I use Argus Monitor and is reliable, but this looks it has potential to be a lot easier to use. Argus Monitor also has the problem that there are only a limited number of points allowed on the graph. Looking forward to Fan Control becoming better.
I used argus monitor but don't want to spend the money hence have hwinfo64 cpu and gpu temps as small icons on bottom right and speedfan as fan Control
ive been using a custom argus monitor for a while, im surprised that there is no good soft for doing this, all system fans are tied to gpu temperature, so its quiet when not gaming and ramps if neeeded
Same here. I use Argus for finding a suitable CPU/Case-Fan setup which is then saved in the BIOS. Sadly it seems to be necessary to run whatever software to setup and use a configured GPU fan setup...
I also use argus monitor but it has like a hundred features I don't use. I just use it to control fans and that's it.
Argus is on my shit list since they destabilized my x570 with a update a while back. Went and bought a water temp sensor and run the fans off the mobo fan curves.
Great program and video, just found your video looking for fan curves on UA-cam...
I would like to mention that you can move/change the order of the Cards. It's a "Click and drag". Put the mouse arrow past the side of the edge of the card (or in between the card gaps ) that you want to move then left click your mouse button and keep it held down, a long thin black line will appear, keep the left mouse button held down and drag the card where you want it then release the mouse button. The card is now where you want it. Make sure to "save" before you exit the program.
Watching your video I was able to smooth out the constant Ramp Up/Down of the fans which was very annoying! It sounds like a vacuum cleaner.
Thanks for posting this video, very helpful!
I made a custom shroud with two 120mm fans for my GPU and I have been using this software to control the fan curves using a motherboard fan header. The dev has been keeping things updated, which has been great to see.
It is a great software, I've been using it already and it's very very stable. Great to see it showcased. In the latest fan control patch 111, you are mentioned: "Ask for save on exit from the tray icon (Thanks Jay)"!
Thank you Jay for giving this amazing software a showcase and displaying it for all of us to use. Also thank you for donating to the developer to help him continue to keep this software upgraded and better than everything else out there.
This is what fan control software should have always been. FANtastic.
This video should have millions of views!!!! Atleast 5 years of my lifespan is reduced by the awful Corsair iCUE and malicious Asus, Gigabyte softwares so seeing this gave me a little peace!! There's also something like this for rgb called OpenRGB. Thanks once again Jay! You never fail to impress.
I get the problems with icue and everything too, I have a commander pro for the extra fans and lights RGB on the fans and found open RGB months ago and love it, it can't control my GPU lights, msi 3080ti, though which is slightly annoying but not anyone's fault since it isn't on the supported devices list.
I will try this out to see if it can detect fans through a commander pro, control my fans better regardless and get rid of iCue for good if I can get everything working! This also gives me a reason to find the temp probe out of the mobo box since I have a spot I can use it with the mix fan curve in this software.
@FaygosPotatoes its able to control my LL series fans through the commander pro. I cant say about other fans though. It does require some tinkering
give it time
jeez dont get me started on icue, its the worst!
iCue sucks hard and I am forced to use it if I want to use my freaking keyboard ! What the heck must it be this crappy. Sometimes I need to reinstall everything because it can't see my keyboard anymore it's so dumb..
I had installed a 360 rad in the front, and I was looking for the exact type of software to make the bottom two fans run at either the CPU or GPU temperature, whichever is higher. I stumbled on this software and it's really great! The CPU getting extra cooling when only the GPU needs it is not a bad thing anyway.
Will this work on a laptop not sure.
Love the way you don't just highlight the helpful software Jay, but take the time to make sure everyone understands the importance of supporting the person's hard work. Keep it up mate!

The github discussion has exploded since this video. And we got a Corsair COmmander Pro addon, too, thanks in part to this video.
I find it funny that "max mixed" fan curve type of algorithm has never been added to any BIOS that I'm aware of. It seemed obvious to me years ago that I wanted to adjust my case fans to whatever was getting hot in my case, whether it was CPU or GPU. Nice piece of software.
They could put known working gpu sensors in the bios, but it would have been janky and all over the place on what is supported and what isn't. At least this software can be updated as new sensor info is discovered instead of having to flash updated bios's with new gpu sensor info which would increase the possibilty of bricking the pc. I know what you're saying and in a perfect world this would be the norm, but it's not like that.
I just found this small utility and I must agree, it is absolutely amazing and what make this small fan controlling utility even more appealing "portable" that is the biggest reason I'm using it, no installation needed. I can't dish-out $500, but I like this software a lot so I just donated $50.
Thanks Jay
I had to go back and watch this again as my fans were driving me crazy, they'd just ramp independent of the BIOS fan curve settings. My only gripe was after it finished the scan, the name of the fans didn't match any of the speeds that were shown either (likely because I was using individual fan headers on the motherboard instead of a controller as have Corsair ML fans with node core). I had to manually stop the fans to determine which was which and then name accordingly, however once they were all named, configured, profile setup, this single piece of software has resolved all the issues I was having. I'll be throwing this developer a few dollars for sure.
Thanks my fans have been acting stupid af
Been using this for about 6 months now with little issues. I love the target mix that chooses between my custom curve for cpu or gpu depending on which is hotter, and setting my tray icon to display the average temp.
Every once in a while the gui will report missing fans and offer to rescan the system, but usually reloading the profile fixes it. Also, if you install the updated version it may run both the older and newer version unless you uninstall or disable the start on boot of the older version. Glad you found them and are giving the dev a shout out!
Thank you Jay for finding stuff like this and putting it out there. I’ve learned so much from you being a somewhat recently new pc builder. Anytime I need help or learning about something I always look up and watch your videos. Thank you for all you do!
I just got an used PC with a case fan that was revving up to over 2000 RPM all the time and I was like "why is that?". I followed your instructions and got the fan to run with the PC's temperature at resting rate of just below 1000 RPM. This is the case fan that was making this loud noise so I am so happy I found this software. Thank you and for the creator of the software for this!
I JUST downloaded this last week in search of making my stuff work like it should, and have been deleting all my other "fan control" apps since. Hands down the best fan control by far on a modern machine. 100% sending these people some money. Glad you're putting it out there.
Interesting that you're posting this video 2 days after I discovered the software. I can surely testify to how excellent and simple to use this software is. I can create my own curves, from as simple as flat or linear line graps, to complex graph curves utilizing custom sensors that return a value that is derived from multiple sensors. For instance, the custom sensor I use in my case fans fan curve is the sum of the CPU core sensor and the GPU core sensor. I configured the graph in such a way that the fans max out when the sensor reaches 110C, which is equivalent to either a CPU stress test or a gaming scenario. The software even detects the PCH fan, which is basically the little fan on my motherboard. It can control GPU fans too, although I use MSI afterburner for this task since it has better monitoring graphs, and lets me record and see hours of GPU temps, utilization, and fan speed history on graphs so that I can later on check how my temps and fan speeds were during my gaming session.
My PC specs:
MOBO: Asus Prime X570-p
CPU: AMD 3700X @ 4.3GHz all-core
GPU: Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 2070S (Fellow owners of this card, know that this card will require a thermal paste renewal following a year or 2 of heavy gaming use.)
PSU: Corsair RM750 CP-9020195-EU
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 3200 MHz 2x8GB CL16/18?
SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 1TB NVMe
HDD: 2x Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM008
Monitor: LG 27GN950
Case: Cooler Master H500 (using the mesh panel)
Fan setup:
- 2x Cooler Master MF200R RGB 200mm fans at the front (intake, comes with the case, combined with an aftermarket PWM splittler cable in order to equalize theirs speeds. The included cheap Y-splittler cable that comes with the case only outputs 2 pins, which means no speed control for the fans; the aftermarket Y-splitter cable outputs 4 pins, which is compatible with both PWM and DC fans. These fans are 3 pinned though, so they are DC.)
- a 120mm Cooler Master fan (exhaust, comes with the case, DC, soon to replaced with an Arctic P12 PWD PST CO)
- BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4 (2 PWM fans, one 120mm, the other 135mm)
- Planning on installing 2 intake fans (Arctic P14 PWM PST CO 140mm) at the top
Temps:
- CPU temps settle at 55C while gaming, max peaks reach around 68C.
- GPU temps settle at 65-66C, max peaks at 67C, GPU fans at 68% (custom fan curve, GPU temps used to be 75C at 90% GPU fans immediately prior to changing the factory paste)
- Ambient temp is about 25C.
- Game being played is Rainbow Six Siege, at 60% 4K, pretty much max settings with ultra textures. In game benchmark yields 130 average FPS without GPU OC.
- Thermal paste: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut (CPU'S is 2 years old, GPU's is 2-3 weeks old)
I feel like you should be getting more fps
This program does a great job of addressing the most obvious, yet somehow neglected, need in a gaming PC, ie. is controlling case fan speed based on GPU temp. This is why I have been using this program for about a year now. Almost spent about $75 more for a motherboard with a dedicated temp sensor input just to be able to do this.
The vast majority of GPU heat goes out the back. The majority of heat is from CPU, etc,, and depending on how your radiators are set up if liquid cooling. You would be better served adjusting your GPU fan curves or just undervolting your GPU.
SpeedFan let you do this too. But the UI was trash and it hasn't been supported for some time.
@@farmeunit Or.....you could just set up the case fan curve to match the GPU and CPU fan curves.....If your argument is that case fans don't make a difference, then why have them at all? Lol, seriously wtf? We've all seen what those fan choking, glass cases do to temperatures. Not to mention that most GPUs vent the majority of the heat inside the case, unless you're using a blower style fan system with your GPU. GPUs with blower style cooling systems have been pretty much extinct for years now.
@@Vortex1988 Do what you want, lol. The point is that we have had similar setups for two decades.... and it has worked fine. Now everyone thinks they need 1500w PSUs and 20 fans with RGB because it runs faster. If you think it makes a difference, feel free. All it will really do is make you system louder. If you have a properly built system, the heat will dissipate quickly as it is.
@@damdibidum this would be AMAZING for my case scenario then, the Lian li evo having 3 fans pulling air in from the bottom can be connected to my gpu temp now so only so the bottom fans would push more air into my gpu when hotter. :)
Just want to say thank you! With your help I was able to build my first gaming PC (at the age of 53 LOL) and now I even have my fan speeds set. Amazing work with your channel! 👍
I've been wondering for a long time why the manufacturers didn't have a curve mixing function like this. It just makes sense, unless its the fan on a cpu heatsink or something, you probably want it to ramp up no matter what is being stressed.
this is definitely the sort of thing that benefits someone that's water cooling a lot more than someone that's air cooling. I don't mind that though, it's entirely needed in general. especially just being able to ramp the case fans up depending on the load.
It's like a free Aquasuite software (well, Aquasuite has some amazing/impressive features under the "Playground" tab let's be honest).
The reason I chose a Quaddro controller it's the software, it does exactly what you've shown on video and it shock me that nobody has come up with such things implemented in Aquasuite, till now at least. Thanks to the guy for making it possible and it's really nice to see that people are invested in doing such things for free.
Yes, aquacomputers makes some of the (if not the best) water cooling supplier, fittings with sensors, flow meters, probes, temp sensors and much more. I use octo for fans and 360 for argb on the fans and strips and it works flawlessly. Aquasuite is the most powerful software out there 100%, you can do whatever you bloody imagine regarding fan control and rgb.
@@SWATLucifer echo this I also use a octo (best thing) I have bought in the last 20+ yrs of building computers..... Thanks Jay great find bud.
Not able to give a lot but was able to donate to this AMAZING software. Thank you Remi you are a King for this level of control. Enthusiasts UNITE!
Holy shit, finally a software that doesnt just pretend to do something but actually gets shit done. All the other ones I tried out just pretended do work but actually didnt change anything.
Thank you for highlighting an individual developer's software. This is awesome, and I am excited to know it exists. I will definitely need to use it when I perform maintenance on the small form factor I gave my friend.
It took me until today to finally set up Fan Control.
Firstly, thank you so much Jay for spreading the word on this!
Secondly, I noticed in the changelog that Rem0o has already updated the software to address every issue you mentioned in your video!
I will be donating as well, and I hope he makes a ton of money. I would also love to see him get going on some universal RGB control software next!
So glad that you introduce this amazing piece of software to your fanbase! I’ve been using it since I built my PC a little over a year ago, and I can’t imagine using anything else. It simply is lightyears ahead of everything else I could find. The donations its creator will now receive are more than well-earned!
WOW! I initially spent 24 hours on figuring out how it works based on your video. Thank you for sharing! Now it's time for tweaking. Donation made to the developer, cause the software is really well designed. Had some issues with plugins for AMD GPUs, but all sorted now thanks to help from other users. Incredible that a single person made it all work!!!
i have an AMD GPU and the GPU fans in fancontrol aren't being detected at all.
@@LumiVerseHQ Use the plugins, then it works. Link is in the Repo of the program.
@@Niemand i cant even find the "FanControl.exe" in the extracted files, would you know i can get passed it or somehow find it? thanks!!
I've been building PCs since the Pentium 3 era and YES, this is by far the best fan control software I have ever used! As a programmer myself, I know how much time and effort it takes to code and debug a new piece of software to the point where you're confident enough to release it in the wild. I just wish it has some kind of alert feature that will trigger whenever a fan speed drop below a certain RPM that's set by the user.
As an engineer, this is the coolest thing to over engineer the fans in my system.
Cross flow for gpu workloads, straight too flow for cpu application...
I am tempted to start an actual flow simulation to get the best possible cooling ... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!
I have been using this software for a while now and this is by far the best I have used. Btw you can set it to launch with windows and even choose how long after start up it should open in the background. So happy that Jay noticed this gem and gave it a try!
The delay option is my favourite: I can hear the fans spooling down after startup and know: Boy, it's doing its magic. ☺️
so i downloaded it, and when i double click to open it up , it doesnt open. What am i doing wrong ?
@@Average3djoe you'll find it on your taskbar
You are so right, this guy deserves our support! 2.3M views, now 2 years later. This was my third viewing. I saw this before I had all of my parts. I came back when I got to the stage of setting up fans and carefully followed along while I had the software open. Now, I've had the PC built for about 2 weeks and went in to put a little more work into my curves. I'm so happy with the way I was able to tune my fan speeds I just had to share how mine are running. Originally, if the CPU and GPU were between 30 and 40 degrees, fans were at 50%, with a diagonal line down to 0% if temps dropped below 30. On the other end, a diagonal line from %50 @40 degrees to 100% @80 degrees. Today, I have a fan curve that pretty much runs a diagonal from 0% at @0 degrees to 100% @80 degrees on both CPU and GPU curves. What's happening is actually interesting. As I respond here looking at my Fan Control display, the CPU is 33 degrees and GPU is 36 degrees with fans at 29%. Now if I do less than visit UA-cam and comment, both CPU and GPU cool off enough to get to about 25% fan speed. The AIO cooler fans don't shut off, but all the case fans completely stop. The case fans are cheaper and don't run at such low rpms. The AIO fans are from MSI and I would assume better quality allowing them to run at lower rpms. If I sit and watch after my display times out, the fans kick on every 2-5 minutes for maybe 30 seconds. The AIO pump and GPU fans are running at manufactures default speeds/curves. So when I walk away, the GPU fans and AIO pump are keeping things cool enough case fans aren't needed. So the case fans being less capable than the cooler fans is actually a good thing. I hope I explained this well enough.
Downloaded. Followed your tips, did a few of my own. Donated a few dollars. Need more devs like this. Seriously. Awesome stuff. My whole computer is now in sync instead of fighting for air.
Exactly what I've been promoting for ages, thank you Jay. This really is a wonderful piece of software and I'm still surprised nobody has done any proper free fan control software for ages.
I suppose I could do that as well, but wouldn't want to go through the hassle of coding everything myself if there's already good software available, although it could make for fun coding projects.
I downloaded and set up the software immediately after watching this, with the explanation it was very quick and easy. I set my intake and exhaust fans to ramp up based on CPU and/or GPU temps, I dropped 5 Celsius off my GPU under 100% load! Very useful but of software, I'm sure with more tweaking I can drop my temps even more, donating $10 for sure, this shit is amazing!
@@FlyboyHelosim Weird thing to comment but okay.
Oh thank the great heavens above! I have had this software for MONTHS and never could get it figured out. Your video has banished the wind tunnel!!! THANK YOU!!!
Just want to say thanks to Jay for sharing this with us. It is difficult to control case temps with lacing software and this just made my day. Literally busy installing new non-rgb fans into my new case. Thanks dude.
Argus Monitor has the same functionality. Studies show constant noise is less distracting than changing noise, even if louder, so make your curve “square” rather than smooth, so the fans step up and STAY at some rpm as temps rise and fall. To cool components after a load (slow ramp down) use ACTUAL temps from those components! Add them to the mix.
There is nothing worse and more distracting than fans that constantly spin up and down. Not sure how some people can get used to that. But maybe they game with headphones.
Depending on the pitch, I find constant noise sometimes also distracting.
@@RMJ1984 I agree. That why my graphs look like steps, rather than a curve. Noise does change, but not as often.
This + OpenRGB + Project Aurora: the perfect trinity of powerful management. Thanks for putting this out there Jay, I was just thinking of something like this recently. Will definitely be donating and downloading.
Edit: once the library for FanControl works with a 5700xt RIP
Thx for the tips.

My GPU fans died so I zip tied two 120mm case fans to it. I've had no way to tie those fans to GPU temp till now!
Thank you!!!!
I've actually been needing this in my life, so, thank you indeed! It's already annoying enough to deal with RGB software, so having simple but functional fan software is a blessing 😄
It's a really nice little utility to have. The mix curve is a must have on any desktop since this function is more reliable than the system temp sensor. But sadly Fan control doesn't read any sensor or fan on my laptop.
I'm having the same issue.... It's only reading my gpu fan. Not my front, aio or exhaust...
This is the way fan software should be. I'm surprised that manufactirers don't have something like this and they should have.
This software is spot on for fan control. What a great job the programmer did.
Really glad I just learned this exist. I thought I could only control my 4 pin fans in the bios and the minimum speed I can set them to is 60% in there. I thought I needed like a fancy fan hub to be able to control the fans in a program
This is amazing software. Now someone has to come out with something like this except for RGB control, so we don't need all that other software like iQUE (which likes to crash), the motherboard software, etc.. just to control some RGB lighting.
There is such a program. It's still in development so they are still adding boards and stuff as they develop it. But look up signalrgb. It didn't have my specific mobo but others have had it cover every piece of their system and love it. I'll be looking at it again when it's more developed and covers all of my hardware
Brother man - SignalRGB Pro is THE WAY - Long time pro user and my whole PC system (as well as philips hue lights i have in my home) are all controlled and synced together. various effects and game integrations as well. (The newest build also has some Fan control integrated as well, but that's only for controller box fans and nvidea 3XXX series GPUs, NOT MOBO fan headers).
There is openrgb
OpenRGB. Better than SignalRGB by virtue of not charging you money to use all of its features.
Another vote for OpenRGB. It also uses less system resources compared to Signal.
Finally! We've had this ability on Linux for 10+ years now (also called fancontrol) and I always wondered how is it possible that nobody made a windows version yet. Infinitely better than manufacturer specific bloatware.
Thank you, Jay! I’ve been looking for a solid fan control software. When I download this a little later tonight, I’ll make sure to donate what I can. Would definitely love to see if they can come up with an RGB controller to replace the 3 different pieces of software I have to use to control my very little amount of lighting
OpenRGB will change your life.
OpenRGB. Run it as admin the first time so it can control things like RGB ram and motherboard lighting. Works on Windows and Linux. I have it controlling my Thermaltake fans/pump lights, Aorus motherboard and stuff attached to the ARGB headers, Corsair Vengeance RGB ram, Asus GPU lights, and my Razer keyboard/mouse.
Or Signal
Just found this - instantly downloaded - set it up - works like a charm - and donated directly afterwards - very helpful. Thank you Jay
This is an absolutely beautiful piece of software, just what I was looking for. It allows your setup to be as simple or complex as you want. Thanks to Jayz for the recommendation and to Remi for putting it together. Donation done!
As a former long time user of SpeedFan, I wish this developer all the best. Software control ran the case fans (that I put on my GPU) for years.
I know how long I waited for SpeedFan to be updated for my Haswell motherboard, and how sad I was when I found out it won't really get supported anymore.
It had something to do with controlling the fans close to the hardware level, which basically required a specific update for the chip on a similar motherboard to work.
Even though I ended up finding a better solution for myself since then, I hope this won't become a problem for this project as well.
Thanks for showing me this piece of software, now I'm completely free from bloatware and have full control over my system. MSI AB for undervolting, Fan Control V110 for fans, SignalRGB for lighting and Aida64 for my sensor panel, the latter being the only one that actually costs money. What a great time to be a PC gamer!
EDIT: Just donated $10, I totally agree with your little statement in the end. Maybe keep us updated and get Remi to say a few words later this year so the ones who use it from now on don't forget about donating. :)
how do u tell MSI not to control the fans then? - and make this gem the Master of it all?;D thx for the tipp!
@@levinbittner1572 Sorry, I can't help you there, because my card is not aircooled and I control the radiator fans with the MB... Do you use MSI AB for frequencies and voltage?

Finally i can use GPU Fans as i want. Thank you
This is sick! Totally donated for this. I'm willing to bet there are some amazing developers out there for major companies who spoke up and/or tried making something like this but upper management was like nah. Well it's too late now :)
Towards the end of the video you mentioned RGB control; open source RGB control already exists. Look up OpenRGB. It's cross platform and cross architecture. I've been using it on both my Windows and Linux machines without issue (of course YMMV).
Wanted to comment exactly this. I've been using OpenRGB for at least a year now on both Linux and Windows, works like a charm. It even works better and gives more control than some manufacturer's official softwares.
Just started to use OpenRGB myself after having issues with the AsRock software. Very simple and worked with minimal setup.
Seeing all of the endorsements for OpenRGB and with the issues I'm having trying to customize something to be better or at least different than what the Aura Crate/Creator came with it may be time for me to switch. I'm about 85% sure that everything will be compatible...at least I hope (still very new to RGB considering I only finished my build to replace a seven year old PC earlier this month.)
I think you should look into OpenRGB as well, it's been working well for me as a single RGB software to handle multiple vendors. Granted I also don't do anything fancy with my RGB.
wasnt some of the features costing? If you want to do more advanced stuff
I use that to change my motherboard LEDs because the Gigabyte software is garbage.
This is also what I use. It’s a great piece of open source software and they still continue adding more hardware as they can. A recent update finally included auto start, and auto running your profiles as well.
