ProArt PX13 fan control feels too limited — so I built ProFan
After spending quite a bit of time with the ASUS ProArt PX13, I can say that overall, it’s an excellent machine. Performance, build quality, display, and raw power are all impressive.
However, there’s one area where I think ASUS could still improve things significantly: fan control and thermal profiles.
The built-in profiles work, but under certain workloads it feels like the cooling system isn’t being used to its full potential. This becomes especially noticeable during sustained heavy workloads such as local AI, compiling, rendering, or other demanding tasks.
I wanted more direct control over fan behavior instead of relying entirely on the predefined profiles, so I ended up creating ProFan, a utility that makes manual fan control on the ASUS ProArt PX13 much easier.

The idea is simple: give PX13 users more control over how aggressively the laptop is cooled and make better use of the cooling hardware that is already there.
For me, the ProArt PX13 is still an excellent machine. I just think its cooling hardware can be better utilized when the user has more control over the fans.
The project is available on GitHub, so if you own a PX13 and want to try it out, feedback, testing, and suggestions are more than welcome.
