holy shit man. Your channel is a godsend. I've been looking for a replacement for FanControl, which I used on windows and this is literally the only video I've found diving into this type of tool. Instant sub. Keep killing the game dude
Thanks for making a vid about this! I'm subbed now :) The new version 1.4.0 should melt all those nvidia glitches like the message saying it failed. There will also be a big performance uplift from that. If you have any other problems the discord or the gitlab issues should help you out :)
Wow! This is awesome! GWE was what I used with Xorg for gaming. But this? I tried it with Witcher 3 and Doom Eternal which would cause my GPU to throttle due to temps under Wayland and eventually the game would just crash. I tried Doom Eternal and Witcher 3 with this, and even tough it still would throttle, it kept it cool enough that the games no longer crash under Wayland. Thanks a lot for this!
Thanks man, that could be a gamechanger for me. Since my GPU has some really weird fan behaviour (probably broken firmware or whatever) and I didn't had the time to look up options for fan control in wayland I removed the nvidia driver again, since I didn't want to go back to X11 and do the old coolbits thing again
I’m new to Linux and just got Nobara39 working on my PC. Thank you for showing this tool. I’m wondering if there’s a way to also undervolt my GPU so it efficiently uses less power and would run cooler when gaming or under heavier loads. Windows has MSI afterburner but I haven’t seen any other working alternatives for undervolting Nvidia GPU’s in Linux on Wayland. Even when I set my fans to 90 or 100% using Cooler Control, my GTX 1080 will still average around 80-82°C during gaming. I would like for my GPU temps to be at least in the 60-70°C range. If you have any recommended tools/applications similar to this one, that would help me out a lot!
@@Mattscreative figured as much 🥲, I really got it all intel and nvidia, definitely would pick something else if I knew I'll switch to linux also having issues installing sunshine on f40
This is probably a gigabyte issue, but there is a fix! TL;DR install the it87 kernel module from the frankcrawford fork By the way, this will also make the motherboard sensors work in all other monitoring apps like KDE or Gnome's fancy ones. An abbreviated form of the story is: This is necessary because gigabyte and ITE (who make the chipset) refused to provide information on how to control or communicate with (or even acknowledge existence of) these chips, so frankcrawford is single-handedly reverse-engineering them and adding new boards as they come out, like a total hero saving everyone. Soon they may be added to the mainline kernel. Until then, an out-of-tree driver module is needed.
Although I did not see this mentioned anywhere, you need to run pwmconfig either before or after installing coolercontrol. If you run it after, make sure to restart the daemon for coolercontrol. It can be done from the UI. Also, if coolercontrol does not show your fans, then running sensors in terminal should produce the same result. After running pwmconfig, you should see a bunch of extra sensors in both places.
Does this work for Zorin?? I've followed the github instructions but after running the app image I get 'CoolerControl Connection Error'. Tries so many sudo commands I'm going spare!
Agreed! It's good to see you consider that. I run a LOT of performance testing on this application. To give you an idea, on a Ryzen 5000 chip, it uses less than 0.011% of one core, and memory usage varies but would be less than 50MB. I could talk about it in detail for hours, if there's anything you're curious about feel free to ask! The main developer is very mindful of performance, and the application is a reflection of that. Specific hardware drivers (part of the kernel) can rarely increase CPU load. For example the Asus EC which is not good on Windows, either. In addition, obviously, the more sensors you want to monitor, the more load. And your system may have many sensors which you don't care about. The application takes care of both these things 'blacklist' where you can list installed hwmon drivers, and they continue available to other apps, but completely unused by CoolerControl, and no longer effecting performance at all. So if you're making a racecar, you can really trim it down to the bare minimum devices you need. The monitoring is great and it costs practically nothing so you'll probably leave them all on though :) Enjoy!
I followed the github (am on mint) and i got it all installed but it is not showing fans for me to adjust. I am on a 2014 macbook, are there any drivers or packages i should install to make it work?
@@Mattscreative I spent a couple hours trying to solve the issue but was not succesfull. There is likely a solution but I plan on changing laptops soon enough that its not really worth wasting time on. i really appreciate you replying though
@ yep. unfortunately my laptop is cucked and no matter what does not allow me to monitor or control fan speeds. I guess il just move a small fridge in my room to cool it down :_)

same
I been using this tool before this video, and THIS IS A MUST FOR EVERY LINUX USER ON PC!!!
OMG the only person to actually explain this
haha i do my best
Thank for bringing this to my attention. This is exactly what I've been looking for.
Glad I could help!

Your welcome
What a cool tool!
I use CoreCtrl and I think it's fantastic.
It really is!
it doesnt show my fans...i try to search sensors like he show in another vid, but it doesnt show it in program.., some ideas?

Repaste the gpu is all i can say
motherboard fans sadly are not detected (Gigabyte Aorus Z690M), gpu and everything else works though :/

Great piece of software. Do you know if it is easy to set custom fan curves on it? I am having trouble with it. Thanks!
not sure but if not go request it on the gitlab
I just installed cooler control and it doesnt show me my fans any help please

I just left linux because of the lack of this
left too soon i guess
Can you set up curves with this? Probably not from the looks of it..
@@kristapsvecvagars5049 yes you can set up fan curve
the only concern is if it adds stuttering on games. due to the daemon. and constantly scanning checking temps and managing fans
@@zeebpc and it doesn’t cause any stutter
@@Mattscreative cool i installed it (using arch aur) and it works but i can only see my GPU fans. for CPU it just shows temps and no fans.
nevermind i had to reboot after doing the lm_sensors stuff

i want this for RHEL 9.4
compile it if possible
@@Mattscreative compile it like using wich ide ?
Hey man, i'm pretty new. Got any tutorial on how to install this? I tried to install it but it won't detect my 3060 and I can't set up the fan speed.
Give the new 1.4.0 version a try, it will make setup of nvidia cards way easier. Hope that helps!
@@pallas_wept thanks man. so install fedora, install nvidia driver from rpm fusion and install fan control 1.4.0. is that correct?
@@pallas_wept hey man, i wanna say thank you. it works!
Will it work in Linux Mint 22 ?
i mean that's linux just very outdated linux
i installed on EndeavourOS and my fan rgb blincing.
odd and if that's an issue head to the apps gitlab and report it to the dev
Is it open source?
Yes
not working for me on opensuse tumbleweed
Opensuse issue
ZOMG YAAYYY fan control on Linux HA HA HA
@@chovekb omfg an idiot look at you go!
@@Mattscreative HAHAHA it's fine, dude! xD
ok
wait phtoshop?
Yes i have a video on that
does this work on mint
Try and see
@@Mattscreative i dont understand the installation process
How do you launch this. god dammit show me!
You install it check the description and than you do systemctl enable --now coolercontrold in the terminal and bam it works
@ yep. unfortunately my laptop is cucked and no matter what does not allow me to monitor or control fan speeds. I guess il just move a small fridge in my room to cool it down :_)
ok. youre just meant to type "coolercontrol" in terminal. fuck my life.
@@amourabidi492 what are you on about? Lol terminal isn't scary chill. Just breath
