@@rodzeroher Can you please give instructions? I have a GF65 gaming laptop and I can't seem to get the software to work. It's not able to detect sensors. Please help
I don't know if the reason is whether UEFI is open or not. Omen Command Center, for instance, fully operates on clocks, voltages and fan speeds (with curve editing). The firmware settings contain bits of information which allow control to be exerted outside BIOS. Third Party software does not have any bit or register map so it cannot control several things (except for Throttlestop - which depends on the access to specific registers). I honestly don't understand how OEMs don't allow for access to fan curves, voltages, clocks...freely. You can put in place several safeguards against nonsensical or dangerous settings and still allow some leeway for changes. Case in point: - fan curves editing - make sure a default curve is in place, one that kicks in when users want settings too low (the silence crave) - PROCHOT values (do not allow prochot values higher than a certain value; but allow users to set lower values) - turbo power limits (give leeway to take advantage of the potential of cpus, make sure defaults kick in if the cooling system isn't able to consistently deal with heat build-up) Laziness and low costs drive OEMs, though.
Thank God dude! My front middle fan has been going up and down 200rpm-600rpm and making terrible noises. Custom set the fan speed to like 70% (900RPM) and it sounded better, then I just added a GPU graph that looks like yours and set it, NOW it is quiet as a mouse! Idk how but it fixed it, still running at lower speeds but it's somehow quiet.
Bless the modder = Rem0o This has saved me the hassle of looking for a 5 pin to 4 pin cable. I had the Motherboard control my Noctuas on my GPU via CPU TEMPS, what a absolute annoyence, NOW i use this software to LINK gpu temps to particular fans. Much more BETTER.
I donated for this - and I NEVER donate. An absolutely magnificent piece of software - if you want case fans to respond to GPU temperature, this is pretty much your only option. And the MIX curves are an extremely clever idea... I can see BIOSes implementing something like this very soon.
Ya this was crazy, had a fan on my front display that was just making awful noises, RPM stuck at low speeds, I custom set it higher to like 70%+ and it was still making a sound but was better. Then I made a custom graph based on the GPU and set the weak fan to GPU and BAM QUIET as a mouse.
@@nigelphillips7454 this software will NOT affect your bios. It will override the fan settings assuming the BIOS let's it. You can reset the fan settings to default buy deleting the folder/software.
Great Review on much needed fan control. I will donate for the first time. Have and old Motherboard ASUS P8H67-M LX (LGA1155) (2011) I5 2.5 ghz with only a CPU fan header and a System fan header. Paired with a AMD Radeon R9 200 Series and great for gaming but I bought it used and am transferring to a new case a Be quiet! Pure Base 500DX that came with 3 140mm fans (3pins DC). I can install all 3 with an ARCTIC 4-Pin PWM Fan Splitter Cable - PST Extension-Cable for 4 Case Fans ( $9 bucks) and use this software to control my detected system fan header! Works on Win 10. Thanks much to you and the software designer!
This is the only program that detects my front case fans and lets me bring them down from TURBO to literally anything else lol. Never buying another cooler master case again.
Decent, although it seems to have detection issues on my system. The very basic fan control on my ASrock b365m is able to throttle the fans down much lower.
Interesting... Because it should be the same, the application just takes over BIOS control. Unless there's a setting in the BIOS limiting it I don't know what's going on.
@@HardwareForGamers I have the same issue. I have 3 fans not inlcuding my GPU and it only detects one of them. They are all the exact same fans from the same manufacturer, and it won't detect the others. I am glad this works for others, but it looks like a no-go for me.
@@HardwareForGamers thanks so much so you mean i can delete it by control panel and its folder in program files also which settings would work for lowering tempatures and if possible increasing cpu fan speed and last thing do i download 1 or 2 things
The basic idea most people follow is try to keep the fans as quiet as possible (system being ideal or watching videos) until you can't (playing a game or rendering something).
@nigelphillips7454 I don't understand what you're talking about how many software? Download fan control from GitHub and see if it works (if you're using a laptop it likely wont)... If it does work you'll be able to setup fan curves or set the fans to any speed you want.
@@HardwareForGamers sorry for being unclear so there is no particular setting that works better for cpu fan speed and if deleted will i still have my warranty
Thanks for the video! but i'm still left kinda unsure about what to set my fans to % wise and when to change them. should i manually change them before playing Apex or? cuz i'm guessing i should have different settings for browsing and gaming/animation work.
You shouldn't really need different settings, that's the point of the graphs. You can have the fans spin up as things get warmer. As to what percentage to have them at. Idle and browsing you want them as low as you can get them without thermally throttling. Again when gaming, you want to have the fans cooling well enough that nothing is thermally throttles. It's something you just need to play with.
there are 3 fans on my aio, 1 rear exhaust fan and 3 intake fans on the front (nzxt h7 elite). i located the aio fans and the rear exhaust fan. fan #2 and fan #6 don't seem to control anything, certainly not the 3 front fans. fan #2 is between 817-822 rpm and fan #6 is over 3000 rpm. any idea what those 2 could be?
Have the O11D Evo, a total of 10 fans. 3 on the bottom and 3 on the side as intake, 3 on the AIO and a rear as exhaust. All the fans are Phanteks T30. How would you recommend setting up the fans in this software?
I would like to ask if someone with a FE 3000 rtx series was able to make FanControl make gpu fans to stop spinning under a certain temperature. For example, if I set my gpu graph to 0 rpm until 40°C, the fans ignore my settings and continue spinning at 1000 rpm. If I close FanControl, fans stop at idle. Thanks
with the changes being made at the 9 minute mark, is he turning down the intensity of the fans as the system heats up? wouldnt you want to do the opposite while gaming?
I can confirm that this is working on my Dell G7 7588! I've been looking for such program, because the only problem of the Dell G7 7588 is its fan not ramping up to anticipate the temp change, now that it does what i want it to do, i can basically throw anything at this laptop and the program keeps it at 70 C.

weird how it cant detect the fans in my tower when speedfan can see the 6 fans but can't touch fan 6 for some reason. although it can see the fans on my 3060
so... you have to set the amd gpu fan settings to manual in amd software, to then allow you to create a GPU curve in fan control, before you can assign a case fan to respond to the gpu fan curve you set up?
I'm not sure how it is now, but when I made the the video there was no way for fancontrol to control an AMD 5000 or 6,000 GPU. You should just be able to assign a GPU temperature to a fan header.
@@HardwareForGamers thank you, that worked! Feels good to be able to make lower front fan spin faster in relation to the GPU. I was wondering though, I noticed that a lot of hot air from the GPU is actually kicked out at the front end (inside the case), is it wise then to have a front fan blowing directly against this?
@@HardwareForGamers ok sure, thats lucky because the 2x140mm front fans i run have a gap between them, so the fan is not blowing directly back into the face of the gpu
Heya, great video. Question. What can I do if my fan isn't fully recognized? I can turn them on and off, set it from 0% to 100%. But I dont see the RPM nor can I pair it with a Fan Curve.
@@HardwareForGamers Oh thanks for the fast reply. No its a brand new PC. Its uses this case "Chieftec Hunter GS-01b" the fans came with it. Its uses a 4 pin PWN connector, and I left everything on "Auto" in the Bios. While your here, on restart something keeps deleting the "FanControl.exe". Its not the Antivirus, its doesn't have anything in its history about it. Great app btw.
@@Ragmon1 you may want to email Rem0o (the guy who made the UI) about the exe file going missing or being deleted. Now about the fans not being controlled, are you using the hub that the case comes with, or you plugging the fans directly into the motherboard? Plus what operating system are you using. I've had some other people comment that it's not 100% on Windows 11.
@@HardwareForGamers I will try to contact them. Yea its using a hub... oh now it makes sense. Its getting conflicting information cause the hub has multiple fans connected to it. And its connecting to the motherboard via 1 4 pin connector. Windows 10 64bit.
Have you clicked the first toggle or switch to give FanControl control of the fan, then you should be able to do the pull-down menu and select manual control.
@@HardwareForGamers yea i did, im lowering the speed and its not responding, I woke up to some issue with my fans, they started going fast af and I cant control them
This app works for a while, and then mess up the fan control of the fans hooked up. Now the fans all boot/reboot will be running at max speed, ignoring bios fan curve. In windows can be controlled by rem0o but when turn off follow custom fan curve it will go at max speed again. Shutdown and boot will do the trick for one time only, when u reboot same thing happens again. I cannot find a way out. It seems to be long lingering issue. Its raised in the rem0o troubleshooting and never answered. New users beware
guys am i the only one experiencing -1 rpm on my gpu speed card? the rpm definitely does change when i set it to manual control. but when i stop setting it to manual control and pair it with any other curves its just stuck at 40% with the question mark symbol. no other fan controlling apps installed except FanControl btw
IT's a nice software, but have to hook all fans to Motherboard headers to work. Some guy did a plugin for the Corsair Commander Pro, but couldn't get that to work.
There is a start on windows option, but I've found depending on where you have the folder it doesn't always work. The app seems to work best when the folder is on the desktop.
I have to keep reinstalling. It initially works then after a couple days FanControl will start but won't control fans. I have to isolate userconfig file, reinstall fan control, drop in userconfig, then it will work again. Any advice?

I currently have 6 case fans which I control via BIOS as they are DC (3 pins) and not PWM (4 pins). So, can I use this software to control DC fans or is it just for PWM? Thanks in advance.
Hello sir! I have a question. Does this program overwrite the bios? I used this program works fine for hours but after restart my computer pc isnt able to post (no bios no display and no beep sound). I tried to start without ssd and hdd but nothing happened. Only fans are spinning.
where do you have the folder?... because I had a similar issue with the folder in my program files. I moved the folder to my desktop and the issue went away...
@@HardwareForGamers i have it in the documents folder, i also used to have it on my desktop but the problem was still there. Eventually I found out about a plugin that let you "force" the autostart of the program and now it works
Hey, i just got my pc a couple weeks ago and wanted to figure out to control my fan speed. I installed this app but its only detecting my gpu and cpu fans. My case fans are working but theyre not being detected. 3 are cooling inside while 1 is blowing air out the back. My friend built my pc for me, so i dont know if i have to rearrange something or get a new fan software. Any advice?
@@HardwareForGamers i dont know, i would have to ask my friend. But after doing some research, my guess would be that theyre connected to the power supply and not the motherboard, since i think thats how they get detected. Because not even the bios for my pc was detecting the case fans.
I just upgraded to an i9 on a Z690 board. On this system I cannot assign curves to my fans, except for the GPU fans. On my old i7 on a Z380 board, I could. Any work abound to that that you are aware of?
Question: When I enter the game, the fan runs at full power and spins fast But there is no increase in temperature Does this affect the laptop or is there no problem?
I'm trying this on a Laptop. "Controls" and "Speed" sections are empty even after auto-discovery. Funny enough if I create a curve I can select the sensors, and they are properly named. IS this normal behavior on laptops, and can we overcome this? Can I manually add the fans in order to control then?
It doesnt actually say GPU FAN for me, it just shows the name of my gpu, but lets me toggle the “curve” off or on and lets me change the %. What do you recommend i do for this? (The programs doesnt detect any fans idk why, i can definitely hear a fan inside of my case and it shows 3 fans underneath “fan speeds”, although only 1 shows an active RPM)
I have a similar issue. I have 8 fans in my case. 2 GPU fans, 1 CPU fan and 5 case fans. FanControl detects my GPU fans but nothing else. (The case fans are connected to a fan hub with 3 pins that is connected to the motherboard with a 4 pin connector.) My motherboard is an Asus z97-p s1150
It just shows 2 out of the three fans from my GPU card (read that this is due 2 fans sharing cable) I don t see any other fan on my main screen. But i can see all my fans (and all info) in the menu under "Display tray icon temperature" any chance, way to add the fans to the mainpage of the app? I got a Acer predator Orion 7000 series
You need an open UEFI for this app to work properly. if you can go into your UEFI you might have to turn on "smart fan control" or something like that, and that will let the app take control of the fans.
@@HardwareForGamers Hi thx for the reply. Smart fan control is enabled on default, I even tried it turned off, but no luck. Think my MB is not supported, and can't find a plugin for Acer.
thanks for the video but somehow the software doesn't find all my fans. Have them all plugged into the motherboard directly. 4 sys-fan slots are used and two of those slots control two fans with a junction or a splitter....what ever it's called ^^ I really need this to work ....any tips maybe?!
@@HardwareForGamers oh you mean like check the bios ? Sorry...I'm really and "idiot" when it comes to software stuff ^^ I'll have a look ! My case had one of these fan controllers in the back where all the fans were connected previously. I bought the PC assembled and new. Well...honestly that makes perfectly sense now that I think about it ^^ Thank you for your reply !
One thing I noticed is that I have a 3080 ti that has 3x fans. It is only showing 2 slide controls for gpu. Does that mean it is only using 2 fans controlled in program or is it defaulting the 3rd one?
My best guess is that 2 of the fans are plugged into the same PWM header on the video card with the 3rd plugged into its own PWM header. You can figure it out pretty early by playing with the sliders.
Hey when I downloaded the software and launch the tan controll file I only get a pop up with the fan detection thing. But nothing else pops up even after the fan detection finishes

I can control my fans perfectly fine with SpeedFan, but I would like to move to Fan Control. I can control my GPU fans but not case fans.

how to automatically launch this program with the windows???? i have to launch it manually every time, it dosen't appear in task manager startup and shell:startup shortcut didn't work either

i have a mobo from gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4-B3 and i5 2500. I did disabled the smart fan mode on bios yet its only detecting my rx580... any ideas why otehr fans not getting detected?
I'm assuming you are looking for or meaning a rest to default. there isn't one as far as I know, but you could rerun the auto setup and that will "reset to default", or you could click the toggle to let the motherboard to take control back.
@@HardwareForGamers ya i built my pc yesterday idk how anything works. My fans are at max default and it’s too loud i want to lower it but im scared that it might overheat idk what curves are either i need to learn this stuff.
I think the way this program works is that if you don't have the toggle switched to "on" for any of the individual fans, it will resort to what's in the BIOS. Assuming you didn't boot into BIOS and change your fan speeds/curves in there, that will have all your fans spinning at the "default" speed. (and if you did/do change the fan speed in the BIOS, I think most have a "reset to default option" to put all your fan speeds/curves what they were out of the box)
@@tomate1497 the ones connected to the power supply won't work. For the ones connected to the motherboard you might need to turn on smart fan controller in the UEFI.

I see CPU Package but when it comes to core I have 24 options. Core 1, Core 2. ETC. I don't want to make 24 fan curves so how do I see CPU Core only?
Heya, great video. Question.
What can I do if my fan isn't fully recognized? I can turn them on and off, set it from 0% to 100%. But I dont see the RPM nor can I pair it with a Fan Curve.
Sorry, I'm not really sure why that is. Is it a laptop? because I know this software has issues with laptops.
@@HardwareForGamers Oh thanks for the fast reply. No its a brand new PC. Its uses this case "Chieftec Hunter GS-01b" the fans came with it.
Its uses a 4 pin PWN connector, and I left everything on "Auto" in the Bios.
While your here, on restart something keeps deleting the "FanControl.exe". Its not the Antivirus, its doesn't have anything in its history about it.
Great app btw.
@@Ragmon1 you may want to email Rem0o (the guy who made the UI) about the exe file going missing or being deleted.
Now about the fans not being controlled, are you using the hub that the case comes with, or you plugging the fans directly into the motherboard?
Plus what operating system are you using. I've had some other people comment that it's not 100% on Windows 11.
@@HardwareForGamers I will try to contact them.
Yea its using a hub... oh now it makes sense. Its getting conflicting information cause the hub has multiple fans connected to it. And its connecting to the motherboard via 1 4 pin connector.
Windows 10 64bit.
am i the only one who cant click manually change, its just greyed out, and my pc is really new....
Have you clicked the first toggle or switch to give FanControl control of the fan, then you should be able to do the pull-down menu and select manual control.
@@HardwareForGamers yea i did, im lowering the speed and its not responding, I woke up to some issue with my fans, they started going fast af and I cant control them
Is this like Dragon Center?
No, you can only control fan speed. FYI this typical doesn't work for laptops.
This app works for a while, and then mess up the fan control of the fans hooked up. Now the fans all boot/reboot will be running at max speed, ignoring bios fan curve. In windows can be controlled by rem0o but when turn off follow custom fan curve it will go at max speed again. Shutdown and boot will do the trick for one time only, when u reboot same thing happens again.
I cannot find a way out. It seems to be long lingering issue. Its raised in the rem0o troubleshooting and never answered.
New users beware
guys am i the only one experiencing -1 rpm on my gpu speed card? the rpm definitely does change when i set it to manual control. but when i stop setting it to manual control and pair it with any other curves its just stuck at 40% with the question mark symbol. no other fan controlling apps installed except FanControl btw
What does it mean if you pair the GPU fans automatically and they sit at zero when not playing games?
IT's a nice software, but have to hook all fans to Motherboard headers to work. Some guy did a plugin for the Corsair Commander Pro, but couldn't get that to work.
LOL nothing shows up for me after the assisted setup what gives
Do i need to turn it on everytime i start the pc?
There is a start on windows option, but I've found depending on where you have the folder it doesn't always work. The app seems to work best when the folder is on the desktop.
Why isn’t my cpu fan being recognized
How do I know what fan is what cause they sound the ssme
Sorry, but the only way I know is to look and listen. If you have different types of fans with different RPM s you can look at the RPM readout.
it works in laptop or not ?? because I try it but the fan didn't respond
I have to keep reinstalling. It initially works then after a couple days FanControl will start but won't control fans. I have to isolate userconfig file, reinstall fan control, drop in userconfig, then it will work again. Any advice?

@@MrOverlord559 where are you extracting it? Because I found if it's not on my desktop it doesn't seem to like to work properly...
@@HardwareForGamers To my desktop. lol That's where it lives.
I currently have 6 case fans which I control via BIOS as they are DC (3 pins) and not PWM (4 pins). So, can I use this software to control DC fans or is it just for PWM? Thanks in advance.
You can control both 3 pin and 4 pin fans with this software.
Wish it could handle fans over controllers like Rog Fan commander.
Hello sir!
I have a question. Does this program overwrite the bios? I used this program works fine for hours but after restart my computer pc isnt able to post (no bios no display and no beep sound). I tried to start without ssd and hdd but nothing happened. Only fans are spinning.
No it does not overwrite anything... Does your motherboard have a LED debug? because it sounds like something died...🥲
Why would the "manual control" option be greyed out for my fans?
Have you taken control of the fan? The little slider on the left.
My XFX 6800 is showing up as a sensor but isn't giving up control of the fans themselves.
Cpu is automatically labelled as such no need for that anymore. It's a shame though, you can't control the gpu fans speed but that kinda makes sense.
POV now your pc have a Trojan Virus
Why do you think that?
Hi I got a problem with the program that doesn't open during the startup even if it's explicitly set to open how can I do?
where do you have the folder?... because I had a similar issue with the folder in my program files. I moved the folder to my desktop and the issue went away...
@@HardwareForGamers i have it in the documents folder, i also used to have it on my desktop but the problem was still there. Eventually I found out about a plugin that let you "force" the autostart of the program and now it works
Hey, i just got my pc a couple weeks ago and wanted to figure out to control my fan speed. I installed this app but its only detecting my gpu and cpu fans. My case fans are working but theyre not being detected. 3 are cooling inside while 1 is blowing air out the back. My friend built my pc for me, so i dont know if i have to rearrange something or get a new fan software. Any advice?
How are the fans attached?
@@HardwareForGamers i dont know, i would have to ask my friend. But after doing some research, my guess would be that theyre connected to the power supply and not the motherboard, since i think thats how they get detected. Because not even the bios for my pc was detecting the case fans.
@@jandressss yeah, if the motherboard is not detecting them there most likely molex or connected to a hub. Which means you can't control them.
@@HardwareForGamers thanks. Now that I know what to do, I’ll switch it around some other time.
I just upgraded to an i9 on a Z690 board. On this system I cannot assign curves to my fans, except for the GPU fans. On my old i7 on a Z380 board, I could. Any work abound to that that you are aware of?
You may need to turn on "smart" control in the UEFI.
Does it work for gaming laptops such lenovo legion 5 ? Thnx for replying in advance.
This software doesn't seem to work on laptops, I think it needs an open UEFI to work properly.
Can this work with 3rd party fan hubs like the Corsair Commander Pro?
If the hub plugs into a fan header it should work, if it's connected through USB or just to the power supply it will not work.
There need be a tutorial on how install plug-in also it's not showing my fans on my tower and I using Alienware Aurora R7
Can you get into the UEFI (bios) and change the fan speed there? All this app does is piggyback off the MB.
Is IT good for My PC to stop the fans while tuning
It shouldn't really matter, just as long as they start up again.
Question: When I enter the game, the fan runs at full power and spins fast But there is no increase in temperature Does this affect the laptop or is there no problem?
@@كث4ش This software doesn't seem to work on laptops, I think it needs an open UEFI to work properly.
@@HardwareForGamers thx
For some reason my antivirus activates on this, is it really safe to use?
As long as you're getting it from the github link it's safe.
I'm trying this on a Laptop. "Controls" and "Speed" sections are empty even after auto-discovery. Funny enough if I create a curve I can select the sensors, and they are properly named. IS this normal behavior on laptops, and can we overcome this?
Can I manually add the fans in order to control then?
as far as I know this software does not work with laptops. If it could be easily overcome, I think the devs would have done it by now... sorry.
Is there fan control software or bios for gp elitebook g9 or g8
It doesnt actually say GPU FAN for me, it just shows the name of my gpu, but lets me toggle the “curve” off or on and lets me change the %. What do you recommend i do for this? (The programs doesnt detect any fans idk why, i can definitely hear a fan inside of my case and it shows 3 fans underneath “fan speeds”, although only 1 shows an active RPM)
How are the fans plugged in?
@@HardwareForGamers i bought it pre built, it's the first pc ive ever bought i have no clue lol
I have a similar issue. I have 8 fans in my case. 2 GPU fans, 1 CPU fan and 5 case fans. FanControl detects my GPU fans but nothing else. (The case fans are connected to a fan hub with 3 pins that is connected to the motherboard with a 4 pin connector.) My motherboard is an Asus z97-p s1150
Libre Hardware Monitor also can't see my fans except my GPU fans.
However, CPUID HWMonitor detects all of them.
It just shows 2 out of the three fans from my GPU card (read that this is due 2 fans sharing cable)
I don t see any other fan on my main screen.
But i can see all my fans (and all info) in the menu under "Display tray icon temperature"
any chance, way to add the fans to the mainpage of the app?
I got a Acer predator Orion 7000 series
You need an open UEFI for this app to work properly. if you can go into your UEFI you might have to turn on "smart fan control" or something like that, and that will let the app take control of the fans.
@@HardwareForGamers Hi thx for the reply.
Smart fan control is enabled on default, I even tried it turned off, but no luck.
Think my MB is not supported, and can't find a plugin for Acer.
thanks for the video but somehow the software doesn't find all my fans. Have them all plugged into the motherboard directly. 4 sys-fan slots are used and two of those slots control two fans with a junction or a splitter....what ever it's called ^^
I really need this to work ....any tips maybe?!
You may need to go into your UEFI and set the fan headers to manual (MSI calls it smart control)
@@HardwareForGamers oh you mean like check the bios ? Sorry...I'm really and "idiot" when it comes to software stuff ^^
I'll have a look !
My case had one of these fan controllers in the back where all the fans were connected previously. I bought the PC assembled and new. Well...honestly that makes perfectly sense now that I think about it ^^
Thank you for your reply !
I didn't know my tuff mother board register cpu fan and opt cpu as one.
Other Than that i really like it
I can’t get it to run, is it because I have L-Connect ? It won’t discover any fans
dumb question, will this only work properly if starting program w/ windows?
Pretty much yes, you can start it manually every time you boot in to windows.
One thing I noticed is that I have a 3080 ti that has 3x fans. It is only showing 2 slide controls for gpu. Does that mean it is only using 2 fans controlled in program or is it defaulting the 3rd one?
My best guess is that 2 of the fans are plugged into the same PWM header on the video card with the 3rd plugged into its own PWM header. You can figure it out pretty early by playing with the sliders.
does it work with aio water collers? like pump speed, and fan speed?
If the fan header it's plugged into can be controlled. Then yes.
Will this override my Afterburner custom gpu fan settings?
I'm not sure... sorry.
Hey when I downloaded the software and launch the tan controll file I only get a pop up with the fan detection thing. But nothing else pops up even after the fan detection finishes

it only detects my GPU fans, why????
You may need to turn on "smart fan" control in the motherboards UEFI.

What motherboard? Is there a "smart fan" mode for the fan headers in the UEFI?
@@HardwareForGamers Gig X470 Aorus Elite. I got 2 of 3 fans detected and rpm shown. My 140 NZXT pwm only shows % and not rpm. All fans are pwm.

there is the mix fan curve i've never played with it so i'm not too sure how it works, but you can add multiple fan curves to it and then set a function

the software needs an open UEFI to control the fans, can you create a fan curve for the fans from your UEFI?
hi. i am using a laptop and it cant find any fans. is there a way to fix this?
What am i suppose to open it with, when i press open it puts me into firefox???
Are you talking about the zip??? If you are then you will need an extractor like 7zip.
@@HardwareForGamers I have zip, everytime I press open or click on the exe file it puts me into Firefox
So how would I put my fans on default speed if I changed anything?
I'm assuming you are looking for or meaning a rest to default. there isn't one as far as I know, but you could rerun the auto setup and that will "reset to default", or you could click the toggle to let the motherboard to take control back.
@@HardwareForGamers ya i built my pc yesterday idk how anything works. My fans are at max default and it’s too loud i want to lower it but im scared that it might overheat idk what curves are either i need to learn this stuff.
I think the way this program works is that if you don't have the toggle switched to "on" for any of the individual fans, it will resort to what's in the BIOS. Assuming you didn't boot into BIOS and change your fan speeds/curves in there, that will have all your fans spinning at the "default" speed. (and if you did/do change the fan speed in the BIOS, I think most have a "reset to default option" to put all your fan speeds/curves what they were out of the box)
One of my fans isn’t calibrated is that okay?
@@tone_talks depends on which fan.
Mine can't find fan stop and fan start detection. how to fix?

what to do?
