## Issues and hardware compatibility
2020-07-11 19:31:46 +02:00
2021-08-26 23:05:43 +02:00
* I am not the main developer for the driver/backend portion of this software. Fan Control is basically a UI on top of existing hardware libraries. Any issue regarding hardware compatibility entirely depends on:
* https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor
* https://github.com/falahati/NvAPIWrapper
2020-07-11 19:31:46 +02:00
* Please only open issues for the software itself, UI, feature request and so on.
2021-08-26 23:05:43 +02:00
* If you do have a hardware compatibility request and you can provide a <b>working</b> sample of code that can be used in .NET, like with a [Plugin](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/wiki/Plugins), then feel free to submit that.
