Some additional sensors can be found by using a third party software, HWInfo32/64 together with a plugin (download link available from FanControl Git-hub page). Some are proprietary hardware specific software.Įdit 2: I've tried out FanControl a bit, and there's support for a few devices. Hopefully it won't since it's a bit more up to date (SpeedFan is very old and outdated, and not open source and hasn't been updated for years!). I used to run SpeedFan, but I discovered that it conflicts with something which causes it to BSOD on me, so I'm about to try this to see if it works better. I've got 10 fan connectors - not all used - and the GPU as well. NET 4.8 to be installed (You'll get prompted with the option to download this off Microsoft's webpage), and like many of their updates it requires a reboot to work.īased on the image, it provides a bunch of options for monitoring and controlling, and I can't wait to try it out with my hardware. I need to reboot first, and that might take days until then. Just found this software which also is open source:Ĭurrently not tested this one myself just yet. I actually use one (With NE555) in my server to control 8 fans (4 at the bottom, 4 at the top) and it gives a pretty good airflow, but then I have a custom case too. Don't have any, nor do I intend to as I prefer to build my own. One would be a fan controller that sits in the 5 1/4' bay and has a thermal sensor with a display, but that's just a glorified simple solution. Or, try to find something on Ali Express. I was unable to find the schematics, but if you're interested I can whip something up. many fans).Ĭheap to make, it'll cost you maybe about 10 bucks. You can also build one with an NE555, a thermistor (NTC), a couple of small capacitors, a trim potentiometer and a transistor that can handle huge loads (I.e. Otherwise, if you can't find a solution software-wise, you can always build a simple fan controller with just a few components: Just look at how many people are using Apple products (and they don't exactly boast with monitoring indicators and so on), and folks generally just want stuff that works (and happily goes to a repair-shop or buy new ones). It's no longer maintained, but if you're lucky, it will control your fans, but don't count on it.Īs I wrote, no longer maintained and I guess thanks to diversity and people being lazy buying ready-made solutions (not to mention water cooling, better chassis etc), and a general lost interest in tweaking stuff, I can't say I blame the guy who wrote the program, that he decided to pull the plug.
