How To Control Case Fan speeds?

[indigo cipher]

You can try FanControl, look it up on GitHub

[vague epoch]

or umm hw info

its better

more stable software

more hardware support

so

[dreamy badger]

hwinfo is for monitoring your system, not for controlling the fans

either mobo's own software/bios or gettind remo's fancontrol from github

[fallen onyx]

ok ty

[vague epoch]

it can tho

[dreamy badger]

show me where it can, as i have the latest version and it has no fan control at all

[vague epoch]

bruhh

wow really
bro at least know about the software before commenting

this is hw info

i think you meant hw monitor

[indigo cipher]

I actually don't have the fan button on my HWInfo either on the 2-in-1 that I wanted to try it out on. It seems to only work/appear on certain brands of laptops that support "external" fan control...

[vague epoch]

no external fan control

obvious

you should enable monitoring the fan sensor
scroll all the way down, right click and enable
external fans rarely appear on laptops only internals do
desktops can control any fan

unless its separate

[indigo cipher]

I put the external in quotes for that reason because I didn't mean actual external fan control like hooking something up to your laptop, I meant outside of the BIOS or whatever controls the fan

[vague epoch]

ah tht makes sense

[dreamy badger]

i do know the software, this is just a much newer version

[dreamy badger]

fuck no, and you must be using an add on, as mine doesn't even do that

[vague epoch]

.

ur dumb srsly it doesn't show fan icon for those devices not eligible for managing fan( no access for hw info)

no add ones

[dreamy badger]

i'm now on an even newer version and it doesn't have it

[vague epoch]

default gives option for eligble ones

[vague epoch]

idk bro i just have a beta update ahead, so i didn't do that

just check google

[dreamy badger]

what site did you use?

[vague epoch]

its eligibilty based

[vague epoch]

official website

one sec

[dreamy badger]

https://www.hwinfo.com/download/

[vague epoch]

www.hwinfo.com

[dreamy badger]

official site which i use

[vague epoch]

same site only

lol

it eligibilty based

as i said

some devices don't allow fan control

so that gets disabled for them

for me , the software has access

so it has that option
no one's wrong here

[dreamy badger]

you are by assuming that i'm the dumb one here

[vague epoch]

no

im saying both of us are right

u reached to that conclusion as for you, the fan control doesn't appear

forme it does
this is just due to the software access difference
there's nothing much that can be done
not your fault

its the access limiting
