While the interface looks basic, there are many advanced tools you can use if you understand PC specifications and hysteresis. Control your fan performanceįanControl is an open-source program that’s easy to control the fan speed on your computer. You can set primary and secondary tones, splashing the user interface with vivid hues to refresh the screen. You don’t need to sit with the same interface appearance every day if you’re bored of it or tired of looking at the same colors. It means you can let your fans slow down and rest when you’re not doing much on your PC. You can view graphs for each one, knowing which settings to use when you activate specific programs or games. When you’re working on different settings to find the best performance for various tasks, it helps to set multiple profiles on FanControl. It lets you view and edit graph points to fine-tune the parameters. There are also fan curve graphs, where you can compare response times, temperatures, and hysteresis.

Each panel in the interface represents a fan, showing you the location of each and its performance.

Install the build requirements (tested in Ubuntu 18.04): sudo apt update Choose the Temperature sensors by checking the toggles next to their names and press OK. Furthermore it communicates with systemd via dbus to control the fancontrol service. Start the app by running FanControl.exe with admin privileges.

The plugin system let you inject any type of sensor into FanControl, see Plugins wiki. It uses the KAuth module of the KDE Frameworks 5 to write the generated config file. Note: If you have Fan Control set to automatically start with Windows, either untick the checkbox in Fan Control, or manually delete the 'Fan Control' task in Windows Task Scheduler. Fancontrol-gui is a GUI for fancontrol which is part of lm_sensors.
