## Main features
* Guided __setup__ process on first launch
* Save, edit and load multiple __profiles__
* Change the __theme__ and __color__ to fit your setup
* Multiple temperature __sources__ ( CPU, GPU, motherboard, hard drives... )
* Multiple fan curve __[functions](#fan-curve-types)__, including a custom __[graph](#graph-fan-curve-editor)__
* __Mix__ fan curves or sensor togethers (max, min, average)
* Low resource usage
* Advanced tuning with steps, start %, stop %, response time and hysteresis
## New
* Configurable temperature range for graphs
* Decimal support in graphs
* Nickname any temperature sensor from the sensor settings dialog
* Auto fan curve (BETA): Automatically adjust speed to keep target temperature
* Sensor settings dialog window. Activate or deactivate specific sources.
## Installation
1. [Download the latest archive](/FanControl.zip?raw=true)
2. Extract to the desired installation folder
3. Start FanControl.exe
4. (Optional) -c or --config [json config file] command line arg
## Plugins
The plugin system let you inject any type of sensor into FanControl, see [Plugins wiki](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/wiki/Plugins)
Some examples (notify me if I'm missing some):
* __(NEW)__ https://github.com/iJacks1980/FanControl.CommanderPRO to interface with Corsair commander devices
* __(NEW)__ https://github.com/medevil84/FanControl.AquacomputerHighFlowNext to interface with aquacomputer HighFlowNext
* https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.HWInfo to import HWInfo sensor data
* https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.DellPlugin for dell laptops and some towers
## Issues and hardware compatibility
* 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
* Please only open issues for the software itself, UI, feature request and so on.
* 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.
## FAQ
* __Q__: My Nvidia cards has X fans, but only two cards show up, why?
__A__: Your card only has 2 channels, more than 1 fan are plugged to the same channel.
* __Q__: There is no control cards / control cards are missing / control cards are not changing my fan speeds, what's the issue?
__A__: See section above.
* __Q__: How does __[FAN CURVE TYPE]__ works and what does its parameters do?
__A__: Click on its card's icon at the top left, a dialog will tell you.
* __Q__: Does it run on my OS?
__A__: If your OS is Windows 10 __Or 11__, yes.
## Fan curve types
* (NEW) Auto: PI controller-ish type function. % will surf until temp is stable at load.
* Linear : Temperature based linear function
* Graph : Temperature based custom curve
* Target: Temperature based that holds speed until target temperature is reached
* Mix : Use two different curves and apply a mix function (Min, Max, Sum, Average)
* Sync : Sync to an existing control
* Flat: Set a fixed %
## Graph fan curve editor
* (NEW) Change the temperature range for finer control over a small range
* 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
