Coolercontrol - a GUI to setup fan profiles based on temperature sensors in your system (other than just cpu from the bios) - eviltoast

I was just reminded of how useful this was for me, since i was too lazy to setup fan curves in the cli with pwmconfig. This took me 10 minutes of tinkering and my temps went down a lot under load on my gpu and the machine is a lot more silent when idling.

    Nice find, i install it right now and compare it to fancontrol-gui

    fancontrol-gui is nice and all… but it’s annoying sometimes and it doesn’t automatically recognize my NVidia GPU.

      I also stumbled upon fancontrol-gui but it seemed a bit dated to me (last commit 2 years ago).

      About nvidia: there is a section in the documentation. Coolercontrol relies on hwmon, which has a system wide scope.

        Yup it immediately picked up my Nvidia GPU and let me handle it’s temp curves and case - fans based on it like a charm.

        Just uninstalled fancontrol-gui and gotta keep this one^^

        I’m on a sff case and the GPU is often times the most hot thing in this so i need to control my case fans based on the Nvidia temp instead of CPU temp or something else.
