## 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.
2022-04-06 06:34:44 +02:00
* If you do have a hardware compatibility request and you can provide a __working__ 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.

## Fan curve types
2022-04-29 15:29:02 +02:00
* (NEW) Auto: PI controller-ish type function. % will surf until temp is stable at load.
2020-05-31 23:53:56 +02:00
* Linear : Temperature based linear function
* Graph : Temperature based custom curve
2020-08-20 23:09:24 +02:00
* Target: Temperature based that holds speed until target temperature is reached
2021-01-16 20:04:50 +01:00
* Mix : Use two different curves and apply a mix function (Min, Max, Sum, Average)
2020-05-31 23:53:56 +02:00
* Sync : Sync to an existing control
* Flat: Set a fixed %
## Graph fan curve editor
2022-04-06 06:34:44 +02:00
* (NEW) Change the temperature range for finer control over a small range
2020-06-04 02:03:06 +02:00
* Add, remove and drag points arround the graph
* Copy and paste points from a graph to another
* Fine-tune the response with the hysteresis and response time parameters
