Fancontrol-rs an opensource rebuild

Hello,

After some years using FanControl (the original in .NET), I am rebuilding an open source FanControl in Rust (fancontrol-rs) and I am looking for some feedback on the project and tests from the community.

The project page:

https://leyukaka.github.io/fancontrol-rs/

The project source code:

https://github.com/Leyukaka/fancontrol-rs

You can control AIO, fans, everything you plug on your motherboard. But some exotic components are not tested.

The project is totally open source, you can build it from source if you don't trust the exe. It's clearly my way to replace Argus monitor and fancontrol.

I have a limited number of PCs and friends trying the tool for me, the documentation is normally enough to give me feedback. And if there is a problem with your fan controller just stop this version and use the original one.

If you want to contribute of course you can use an AI agent but please use GitHub to PR.

I am open to feedback on features of course.

I am not a full-time developer, I am a previous veteran IT exec returning to my roots building things and pcmasterrace :)

If you want to build the exe from source you can, there are instructions on the project, if you want to test the release submit it to VirusTotal etc.

The design is minimal and efficient , to use minimum memory

Help with PC fans

Got this prebuilt a while ago, but whenever I play games it gets super loud. My friend said it's because I only have 2 fans. How many fans should I get, and how many?

serious question!!! Is setting the fans like this bad?

This might sound like i have profound mental degradation but...
Uh i really want to use the noctua fan somehow but its too big for any correct installation. Its held by nothing... but it doesnt slip, its pretty snug there. Its held by my fan hub. Ummm now can this ruin temps or cause any hardware issues? I made sure no cables touch the mobo.

Mes ventilateurs sont super bruyants, (presque tout essayé)

Salut les gars,

j'ai un problème avec mes ventilateurs de PC; ils sont vraiment bruyants.

j'ai tout essayé : changer les paramètres dans le BIOS (pas de changement), installer Fan Control (toujours pas de changement), et même réinitialiser la carte mère (rien non plus). Je suis actuellement connecté via Molex. Si quelqu'un peut trouver une solution, je serais super reconnaissant.

Merci !

Fans not spinning on Eco and Quiet mode in Predatorsense

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with Acer PredatorSense. When I use Eco mode and Balance mode, both the CPU and GPU fans show 0 RPM and don’t seem to spin.

My current readings are:

  • CPU temperature: 40°C
  • CPU usage: 5%
  • GPU fan: 0 RPM
  • CPU fan: 0 RPM
  • Fan setting: Auto
  • Scenario: Daily Use
  • Mode: Quiet

Is this normal behavior for PredatorSense? I understand that the fans might stop at low temperatures, but I’m wondering if both fans staying at 0 RPM around 40°C is expected.

Arctic Cooler LF III Pro 360: Confused about VRM Fan & Pump

Complete newb here. I think FanControl switched up my VRM fan with the Pump, at least based on the RPMs (max rpm for VRM is ~2500, for pump it's ~2800). FanControl has mapped the Pump fan to the 2500 max rpm sensor as you can see on the mouseover, so I've renamed them (switched them basically), and applied the pump flat curve to the 2800 max rmp one which I believe is the correct one for the actual pump.

Is this correct? Should I try to identify them by using a different method? By setting them to 100% rmp I couldn't tell which one I'm hearing to be honest.

Fan curve recommendation?

Hi, i want my fans to be silent while browsing internet, watching youtube etc, but i also want them to be full performance while gaming, i tried myself doing the fan curves, but now when i play games i can hear it ramp up and ramp down while gaming and it really annoys me hearing those RPM sounds go up down up down :D my cpu is 7800x3d AIO cooled.

Fan gets loud sometimes

Hi, I’ve had this prebuilt pc for a little under a year, for the most part everything runs smoothly but lately my fans have been getting loud during certain times.

Right now I’ve been playing a lot of Marvel Rivals and Crimson Desert and these 2 games are the ones that cause this.

Specifically in Marvel Rivals during the MVP screen after each match sometimes my fans with get loud and in Crimson desert when I open the map my fans get loud. This doesn’t happen every time but enough for me to be concerned.

Sometimes my pc has even turned off, at least I think it does, the light don’t shut off and the fan is still running but the screen is black.

For Crimson Desert I have tried to cap my fps on the map at 60 with the nvida control panel but either that didn’t work or I did it wrong.

I was wondering is this damaging my pc and how could I go about fixing this?

Fans

It's been a year since I've had my PC, I have little to no experience in fixing most things aside for bits like my CPU cooler.

Just earlier this morning, I noticed my fans slowing down and then quickly speeding up. Is this normal? If it is, then is there any way to prevent it? I know I could have Googled it, but I wanted direct help.

M18 R2 Alienware laptop fan

the right fan is making a weird squeaking noise whenever it runs, do i need a new fan or can I fix it on my own? (yes i know it is probably very dirty, and i am new to fixing computers.) Also, let me know if I am doing anything wrong.

Weird noise maybe AIO? after high load or high gaming (I'm reallly worried)

It's the cricket sound

AIO: Tempest Liquid Cooler 240

Ryzen 7800x3D

PSU: Corsair RMe Series RM850e 850W 80 Plus Gold Modular

Dad installed fan control on my mini pc, are the changes on the bios level? is it possible to reset fan curves?

Hi, i've realised that my mini pc fan was constant i checked the downloads and found fan control, i think he installed the portable version + the PawnIO driver.

Does uninstalling the driver + deleting the portable folder uninstall this software and removes any changes for fan curve? are they on a bios level?

Thank you for your time
