Fan Control

Lets Windows users build fan curves that adjust CPU, GPU, and case fan speeds using real-time temperature sensor data from multiple sources

It takes care to curate a safe software space. Help us do more.

&

+
Fan Curve Types
Provides linear, graph, trigger, flat, sync, auto, and mix curve types to map fan speed to temperature.
+
Mix Fan Curves
Combines multiple existing curves or sensors together using a function such as maximum, minimum, or average.
+
Custom Sensors
Creates time-average, mix, file, or offset sensors derived from existing temperature data.
+
Fan Calibration
Automatically detects a fan’s start point, stop point, and RPM response for precise speed control.
+
RPM Mode
Lets any curve output a target RPM value instead of a percentage on a calibrated control.
+
Multiple Profiles
Saves, edits, and loads several configuration profiles for different cooling scenarios.
+
Plugin System
Extends sensor and control support through third-party .NET plugins dropped into a folder.
+
Background Service
Runs fan control logic as a Windows service that can start on boot without a signed-in user session.
+
Tray Icons
Displays live temperature or fan speed readouts directly in the system tray.

Notes

  • Variants: Fan Control ships two runtime variants per release: a .NET 10.0 build and a legacy .NET Framework 4.8 build for systems that can’t or don’t want to install the newer .NET runtime; both are on the GitHub Releases page.
  • Although the application itself is closed-source freeware; its main sensor backend, LibreHardwareMonitor, is open source.
  • A community-maintained plugin list extends hardware support (AIOs, Dell/Lenovo/ASUS laptops, HWInfo import, and more).
