rem0o / fancontrol.releases Goto Github PK

I'm having an odd issue that wasn't present in some of the earlier Fan Control versions. but has been not working correctly for a while now.

What I'm seeing is that the CPU fan speed, even when set to 100%, will only go to about 1000 rpm. Other programs and the bios (and also earlier versions of Fan Control) will go much higher. In those programs setting the CPU to 100% will result in a rpm of 2500 orso.

Even with Fan Control's CPU fan set to disabled, it will still override the CPU fan speed when it starts. Normally the CPU fan idles at around 800 rpm, but as soon as Fan Control starts it drops to 300 rpm. If I use a Flat curve to set it to 100%, it goes up to about 1000 rpm. If I disable the fan again, it drops to 30% (somekind of default it seems) and about 300 rpm.

Other fans (chassis fans, south bridge fan, GPU fan) do work as expected.

Perhaps I need to report this at LHM? Just curious since it worked in the past.

Motherboard is an ASRock x570 chipset.

Every now and then, I realise that the fan speeds are not increasing or decreasing as per the curve I have configured. So I open up the program and get this error message. Pretty much every sensor comes up on the list. If it helps, I have a Gigabyte z370 Gaming 7. This only started happening after upgrading to v48. Reinstalling the previous versions does not seem to help.

Would be really nice if we can set alarm sound (beep) when it reaches some temperature...

Or if not sound warning then some tray icon with warning.

Thx!

First of all thanks for this great project! Works great out of the box and I love the UI you have created.

I have one small issue though:

When I put Windows into the Energy Saving Mode and resume my work sometime later, i get the following error:

Looks like my graphic card needs some time to power up again after the system was asleep.

Is there some way to supress error messages in the UI and just have them logged to the log file?

Thanks!

the program used to work amazing but as of recent it wont open or rarely will but without my fan profile
Ive tried reinstalling the program many times and nothing has fixed it
i think the issues started after updating from v 45 to v 46

First of all, thank you for this incredible tool! Gone are the days in which I had to wrestle with SpeedFan just to control some of my fans, now I can control everything with per-component mix curves like its the 21st century! Now, I just updated from v47 to v48, which seemingly reverted UserConfig to default, deleting al my curves and control card names, themes, etc. This is the first time this has happened in the 3-4 updates I have done already.

Hi, and thank you for this amazing soft !
I used SpeedFan before, but your tool is much better for everyday use.

Can you implement languages selections ?
I can propose my help for french translations.

Thanks in advance and best regards !

Could we potentially get a feature to create a custom temperature source to get an average over time? For example, the CPU tends to vary quite significantly in a short period of time sometimes with single cores randomly peaking 10-15 degrees above other cores at a time. For this, I think an ability to create a function that calculates an average value over an adjustable period of time would be ideal. The purpose of this would be similar to hysteresis and prevent fans from ramping up and down frequently.

Another unrelated issue is that there is a typo where "Load Configuration" is spelled "Lond Configuration". Not sure if that's been brought up by anyone else yet.

Screenshot below:

Select more temps which would be displayed in the system tray

I am missing controls for 3 fan headers on my motherboard, but GPU appeared automatically. SpeedFan can control my fans, so they are not locked.

Can an manually add control function be added?

Motherboard is a Alienware Aurora R4

When I launch the tool, nothing happened on my Asus.

Hi, I am using your software to control my pc's fans, and it is wonderful, and I appreciate all the work you have done. But for my motherboard, an asus crosshair VII, CPU fans work fine, but chassis fans, I see their RPM, but not able to regulate their speed, could it possibly work?
Thanks for everything

Hello,

I have just found this software and wanted to test it, but when I start the .exe a symbol in the taskbar appears with no function.
It seems like NZXT is causing the problem, even when I don't have it running.

Hi,
I think this a great project! Is there any way that I could show temperatures in card style as well? Thank you so much!

After installing, Bitdefender flagged this program and put the zip in quarentine.

When I try to use the "Detect fans activation automatically" feature it turns all of my fans to 0%, I can see they are physically off in the case, but the program says none of them ever fully turned off.

The RPM readings seem to get stuck at some point during the turning off, because when they start going back on again they change to a lower value than they were before. For example:

Fan 1 | 50% -> 1000RPM
Fan 1 | 0% -> 723RPM (but physically off in case)
Fan 1 | 10% -> 300RPM (during ramp-up back to normal)
(values are random but also not relevant)

Would be dope if you could make it so you can set a config file to be applied at a certain time! I can see it being used for example if you want to keep your PC overnight to download something, but don't want to hear any fan noise and you would just be able to make a config with all fans at 0% and make it apply at a custom time.

Hi,

I would love to see two features:

It would be great to have an option to force the fan to hold at a certain speed when a component (let's say the GPU) reach a temp (defined by the user). For instance, if the GPU reach 75 degrees the fan(s) will maintain the desired speed until the GPU temperature goes down to 55 degrees (just as exemple). It could be an option in the graphs (?)

And the second one is about a kind of QCP (quick control panel) with simple icons for differents speeds for all fans. The panel could be personalized by the user so he can choose how many steps he wants (thru the genius "+" sign (simple and so neat)) (as exemple : 4 steps for stop - low - half - full).

I hope I explained well enough :)
Greetings

I am able to see all of my fans in the app, but the RPM doesn't change when I apply a curve.
I downloaded Libre Hardware Monitor which seems to detect all of my fans - do I need to submit a report to them?
I also tried using Argus Monitor which was able to change the speed of each fan.

First off thanks for a great piece of software 👍

I am guessing it is to do with LibreHardwareMonitor monitoring the drives.

Is it possible to add an option to stop monitoring drives please or you may know of another possible workaround?

I would love to be able to use Fan Control but my noisy storage drive is louder than my fans lol :-)

thanks once again for your great work,

all the best,

Mark

Hi, currently the Offset works with a fixed percentage. It would be good to have an option to also have a relative offset.

i.e. Currently we have
Input = 70%, Offset = -20%, Result = 50%

Suggestion:
Input = 70%, Relative Offset = -20%, Result = 56%

Some (most?) fans need a certain voltage to start spinning. When coming from effective 0% (after "Activation threshold" is applied), any non-zero value should trigger a "Kickstart" by applying 100% for a second.

This way a silent system can start spinning fans slowly instead of heating up to a point when fans will kick in at 80% or so.

Edit: To be clear, I have a CPU fan that requires about 95% to start, but then only 40% to keep going, ranging from 700rpm to 240rpm. I have never been able to set a sane zero RPM curve for this. With a kickstart function, it would be possible.

Hi,

The highest temperature you can use on a graph curve is only 80 - is it possible to extend this to a higher number?

The speed curve of each PWM fan is not the same
Assuming that the nominal minimum and maximum speeds of the two PWM fans of A and B are all the same 600-2000, then we set the fan speed to 70% at 70°C in the temperature control strategy, but through the monitoring software we may see that A 1200 rpm, B is 1500 rpm
Can you add the function of setting PWM curve calibration for each fan?
Thanks

Any chance you could look into adding support for RTX cards again? or is this 100% an issue with libre limitions?

It would be great if Fan Control supported a "Kickstart (%)" in its fan Controls - what I mean is that some fans will happily run at low percentages (5-10%) once they've been "kickstarted" with a higher percentage.

Practically, I imagine this could be implemented by a timer that keeps track of how long a fan has been at 0 RPM ... if longer than, say, 5 seconds and there's a desired fan % (say 8% as an example), give the fan a kick start boost as designated (say +20%, for a total of 28% in total) for half a second to get the fan spinning again, then drop the kick start boost and have it spinning merrily at 8% again.

if one exists... otherwise please setup a FAQ site/forum, then come back to this, thanks

Can the fan speed be controlled according to the load, such as CPU Power, GPU Power?
Thanks

Not sure if this is LibreHardwareMonitor or FanControl, but for my Asus X99-E Mainboard the RPM readout stops updating on the last non-zero readout when setting the fans to zero RPM. The effect being that those fans never get to display zero RPM.

Edit: Other software does display 0 RPM for them.

It would be really useful to have a "Max temp" source to use for curves and the tray icon temp value. Specially for chassis fans.

I’m not sure if the software will detect sensors that plug in to a motherboard and can’t test as I don’t have one yet. It if they did, would you consider adding a temperature source of the temperature delta between two sensors, for example an inline water temp vs room temperature. Thanks for all the hard work!

No loop present and working as expected when config is loaded on startup. userConfig.json attached.

userConfig.zip

Is possible to add a new feature where you can set the max temperature when all settings (speeds, hysterezis etc.) will be skipped and the fans will run at full speed to get back to the normal temperature?

Description:
The fan I have connected to my AIO Pump Header isn't seen by the app. My BIOS can control the AIO pump header no problem. LibreHardware also doesn't see my AIO Header, see (LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor#275) Hoping that this functionality gets supported somewhere down the line.

My Setup:
ASUS ROG Strix B450i

First off, I love the functionality built into this thing already! Thanks so much for your hard work on this.

My suggestion is just more of a pet peeve than anything: I don't see update notifications when the fan control starts minimized. I'd love for the app to either drop a notification while still minimized or pop itself open when an update is available so I don't miss it!

Thanks for for consideration :)

Hi, thanks for this amazing job, as many i was looking for a free replacement of Argus monitor and this looks perfect !
As mentioned in the title, the Fan speed modification is not working on Navi cards (at least the 5700XT). But the measurements are ok.
Any idea how i can help you to fix that ?
Again thanks a lot.

First off, Thank your amazing work on this tool.

Liquidctl an open source tool to manage AIO liquid coolers.
There had have been multiple attempts to make a gui for the tool, but all of them have stalled or never took off.

I believe that your existing GUI is perfect for this and that it should be possible to integrate Liquidctl into FanControl.

Obviously I don't expect you to just take a random person's feature request and implement it, so I want volunteer to help with the integration.

Thanks !

Hello, thanks for the Fan Control, it really is helpful.

4K/5K UHD monitors are becoming a standard these days and one has to use scaling in Windows. This, however, reproduces blurred and upscaled icons/fonts in status bar. Have you considered using a different font which might be more clear?

Also, suggesting a feature to add another monitor into status bar (eg. one for CPU, another for GPU temperature).

The cards in the control tab have fan speed and %, but not temps. It would be really helpful to add it on those cards, so you can check the whole status in a single place.
Right now the only way to check temps in the app is to add a curve and check in the select from source.

Hey man. Thanks for the great app! I was wondering if there were any known issues or limitations - I'm having trouble getting one particular fan to work. It is one of two bottom intake fans and the app is just unable to control it at all, while the other one works just fine. Fans are all hooked up to PWM headers and set to AUTO in the BIOS.

Ran the update to v39 and FanControl didn't start again. Reboot and fresh reinstall didn't help either, nothing is happening.

Last log looks like this:

Love this software but on one of my computer the fan speeds are visible but no controls.

The log refers two chip ITE IT8720F and LPC IT87XX which seems to be in LibreHardwareMonitor chip list .

Althouth for LPC IT87XX it says: IT87XX can enter only on port 0x2E
No idea what that means.

Any chance of making this work ?

Without a script please add into a setting :)

Hey, I was wondering if the source code for this project could be released?

Hello,
thanks for this fantastic program.

I'd like to have an option that applies hysteresis only to drops in temperature, not increases. This would help to avoid constant changes of fan speed while the cooled component doesn't get hotter than necessary. Perhaps simply negative values could be added to offered the hysteresis values of a graph?

Thanks!

Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus x570 Master | Bios: F22

Missing Fan Controls:
• System Fan 4
• System Fan 5 - Pump [Used as Fan]
• System Fan 6 - Pump [Unused]

Speeds are shown correctly under speeds.
By the userconfig following identifiers where found:

• System Fan 4 => /lpc/it879xe/fan/2
• System Fan 5 - Pump => /lpc/it879xe/fan/0
• System Fan 6 - Pump => /lpc/it879xe/fan/1

for comparison, here is System Fan 2
/lpc/it8688e/fan/2

Would be nice to see support for them too.
