Just click in a field and type to change the value. You can rename device and fan names for better identification, and change the fan control value easily. The temperature of each component, as reported by the component or motherboard, and the fan speed is listed by the program. I ran it on several systems to get a feel for it it supports plenty of hardware components including processors, video cards, and motherboards. The program displays the temperature of components that it detected on start and the fan speed of those components. NET Framework 4.6 but can be run from any location.įanCtrl works similarly to Speedfan.

For video card fans, I used MSI Afterburner, a free software for all video card manufacturers.įanCtrl is a free program for Windows. I used the free tool Speedfan about a decade ago to control fans on Windows PCs to reduce the noise these fans generated. The Reset() method is called when the control is disabled and should return back to its default state.While that is necessary to keep components from overheating, it is sometimes problematic because of the noise that these fans make. The Set( val ) method should activate your control and apply the value to it. IPluginControlSensor (inherits IPluginSensor)Ī control sensor controls sets a value to a fan ( or whatever else ) from a fan curve. Update the value of your sensor in that method from whatever source you are using. The Update method is called internally by the FanControl backend every update cycle, which right now is 1 Hz. Use this method if you want a single hook to update all your sensors from a single method instead of updating from every sensor. New implementation that inherits IPlugin and adds IPluginLogger: Let you write in the error log file.IPluginDialog: Let you invoke a message dialog to the user.You may (optional) inject the following in your plugin's constructor: The load method gets passed a 'container' object which contains different lists for your sensors to be added. These methods should be able to be called in this order any number of times without any side-effect or undisposed resources. The life-cycle of the plugin is as follow: You must implement the interface with the following members: At startup, it will find IPlugins implementations by reflection. Drop your dll into the Plugins folder of FanControl.Implement the interface IPlugin OR IPlugin2.Fan Control supports plugins to inject sensors and controls into the software from external sources.
