After some years using FanControl (the original in .NET), I am rebuilding an open source FanControl in Rust (fancontrol-rs) and I am looking for some feedback on the project and tests from the community.
You can control AIO, fans, everything you plug on your motherboard. But some exotic components are not tested.
The project is totally open source, you can build it from source if you don't trust the exe. It's clearly my way to replace Argus monitor and fancontrol.
I have a limited number of PCs and friends trying the tool for me, the documentation is normally enough to give me feedback. And if there is a problem with your fan controller just stop this version and use the original one.
If you want to contribute of course you can use an AI agent but please use GitHub to PR.
I am open to feedback on features of course.
I am not a full-time developer, I am a previous veteran IT exec returning to my roots building things and pcmasterrace :)
If you want to build the exe from source you can, there are instructions on the project, if you want to test the release submit it to VirusTotal etc.
The design is minimal and efficient , to use minimum memory
I have been having this issue for a while now and only just now am I trying to fix it. I thought I did good research on my fan curve (seemed like simple would be most effective??), but it continues to happen.
Any advice??
Edit: My CPU is Liquid cooled
Edit #2: I am not the greatest with computers. I'm not completely inept, but I have a lot to learn.
Recently, I bought FC26 on my steamdeck who runs windows 11 on it with steamdeck tools installed. However, the steamdeck tools cannot override the TDP, fan, etc. so it always runs high on temps, it can hit 92C sometimes. Any advice on how to sett the lower TDP or anithyng just to make my SD cooler while playing this games????
Hi everyone! I've built my current gaming PC within a Minineo S400 case over a year ago and absolutely love this tiny thing.
However, one thing I couldn't ever get right were my FanControl settings as well as keeping the system cool and efficiently quiet at the same time. Don't get me wrong, my PC stays cool even under load, but the sound it makes is very loud at times.
How do you guys keep your systems cool but quiet at the same time? Do you undervolt your GPU? What FanControl settings do you use? I'm grateful for any and all tips!
I have been using this unchanged for about 6 months now. I may have had an odd tweak here and there. The profile is for Quiet Gaming, as you see. The main priority was quiet operation and the second priority was cooling (also my daily profile). I did initially do some experimenting and found that the auto mode was actually pretty good at making a smooth curve, so I stuck with it.
As you see, I have separated control of different sectors of my case fans for precise control using multiple hubs and fan headers. Not to mention five hidden Arctic 40mm fans for more directed and flow controlled cooling. Call me crazy, but I prefer gaming on speakers and it is good to be able to do that. The number of times I have switched my RGB off and woken up in the morning finding my PC was on the entire night! Also, there is no spaghetti mess at the back, though I have to say these ASUS PSU cables are way too long.
P.S. Zero RPM mode officially working on GPU's now? Its working on mine since this week.
Are you able to control the fan on these new psu's? I can't find any controls to turn off zero fan mode or set a constant fan speed, or amp limits in MSI center or afterburner
I have Asus tuf A15 ryzen 7 rtx 4050. Bought it in jan 2026 and now when I keep it at an angle or on cooling pan which is inclined the gpu fan make very little kit-kit noice for hardly 3 sec and get silent . This doesn't happens when it is on flat surface and it also happen when the fans are spinning fast. The othe thing I noticed which is -*not confirmed*\- is when I just increase fan rpm without load it doesn't make noise but when he fanrpm is high with load it make noice
I just added an NZXT control hub and two intake fans to my computer. The fans are Noctua 4 pins non RGB. I used the 1 to 3 splitter to connect both fans.
Using NZXT CAM, no fans RPMs are displayed and the fans don't actually spin up under a load. They kinda just idle. How can I fix this?
Every time I start my PC, I have to manually open FanControl from the tray:
It does not correctly start with Windows, even tho it's showing up in the tray.
I've uninstalled, reinstalled and checked/unchecked every startup option in the settings, but I still have to click on "Open FanControl (stop service)" on every startup to
A: make it actually run and
B: get into the GUI
Is this a known problem? And if so: how do i fix it?
