Requires

Support

  • Motherboard
  • NZXT Kraken is support
  • EVGA CLC is support
  • NZXT RGB & Fan Controller is support
  • DIMM thermal sensor is support
  • liquidctl is support

Main

main

  • Show temperature, fan speed and fan control.
  • The percentage of the fan control can be changed to simply control the pwm.(not saved)
  • You can rename each item.

Option

option

  • LibreHardwareMonitor : You can choose whether to use the library or not, and you can choose which devices are required for control.
  • NvAPIWrapper : Allows you to add the NVIDIA graphics card control library.
  • DIMM sensor : Support DIMM temperature sensor
  • NZXT Kraken : NZXT Kraken support
  • EVGA CLC : EVGA CLC support
  • NZXT RGB & Fan Controller : NZXT RGB & Fan controller support
  • HWiNFO : Communicated with HWiNFO to get sensor temperature and fan rpm (Link)
  • liquidctl : liquidctl support
  • Language : English, Korean, Japanese
  • Tray icon animation : tray icon animation starts when checked for automatic fan control activation.
  • Fahrenheit : set the temperature to Fahrenheit.
  • Start minimized : starts with minimal when the program runs.
  • Start with Windows : Auto-Run at windows start.
  • Delay(sec) : Delay time before auto-run at windows start.
  • Reset : Initialize all settings and libraries.

Auto Fan Control

control

  • Check to enable automatic fan control, select the temperature sensor to target, add the fan to control, and select from the list to display the graph, but adjust the graph accordingly.
  • Mode : only four names are divided, but must be set separately.
  • Preset : Allows you to save or load the current graph's setup state.
  • Unit : You can change the unit of temperature and pwm percentage.(1, 5, 10)
  • Hysteresis : If the pwm changes when the temperature drops, the pwm changes only after the hysteresis temperature drops further.
  • Step : determines whether the graph setting is step or linear.
  • Auto : The fan control operates in the bios default state up to the set temperature. (LHM, OHM, Gigabyte, NvAPIWrapper only, see link)
  • When you click Apply and OK, it is saved as a file and works with the settings you set.
  • Automatically reads from a file to act on the next program run.
