Download Donate

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, including a custom graph
  • Mix fan curves or sensor togethers (max, min, average)
  • Low ressource usage
  • Advanced tuning with steps, start %, stop %, response time and hysteresis

Fan Control

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
  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

Some examples:

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:

  • 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, then feel free to submit that.

FAQ

  • 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-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
