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, then feel free to submit that.
