Has somebody managed that it works on a windows system with various users (which have and/or don't have admin rights)? Does every user have to set up its own task scheduler task?

This I miss the most currently. I have 2 fan headers connected with fans, but 6 empty speed cards which unneccessarely take up space. I really would look to see all information on one screen without scrolling.

The small difference of 40° to 41° is negable. The graph shows a difference of roundabout 0,1% in AFR. It is not about the fact that your hard drive once is over 40°, it is about your hard drive is *always* or at average at this temperature. My third link says "optimum temperature range of 37 °C to 46 °C". I have not found any comment whatsoever on the web so far that anything below 45° is a problem. But of course, FanControl should be safe to use. Whenever it fails, it should revert to bios settings. Rem0o: FanControl seems to not shutdown correctly. The system tray icon stays until my mouse points over it... Then it vanishes.

You probably mean http://labs.google.com/papers/disk_failures.pdf A more recent study is discussed here: https://www.zdnet.com/article/heat-doesnt-kill-hard-drives-heres-what-does/ Also worth reading: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Minimizing_Hard_Disk_Drive_Failure_and_Data_Loss/Environmental_Control Common knowledge is that 35-45° is the optimum temperature for hdds.

A few seconds to a few minutes. HWInfo then never recovers from that until I reboot. Before FanControl I used HWInfo for weeks without any of these issues.

Hello, I've discovered FanControl a weak ago (it was mentioned on reddit) and as I find the look & feel excellent I gave it a try. Sadly version 41 only showed my old GPU (Radeon HD7870). So I tried with LibreHardwareMonitor and it also didn't show my fans. I've got a MSI B550 Carbon WIFI motherboard. It's IO Superchip seems to be NUVOTON NCT6687D (it's manual calls it NCT6687-R). HWInfo64 shows my fans. So I continued my search for a fan control software and found fanCTRL. It also uses LibreHardwareMonitorLib.dll and guess what, it shows my fans! FanCTRL is open source and interestingly there has been a commit tagged 'Fixed pwm bug (NCT6687D)' 11 days ago. Seems that there is a pull request about that topic for LibreHardwareMonitor, too: https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor/pull/288 So I simply replaced the LibreHardwareMonitorLib.dll of FanControl with the one from fanCTRL and suddenly my fans are detected in FanControl Really loving it. One downside: HWInfo64 "misbehaves" when used while FanControl is running. After some time I get very wierd temperature displays (113° for MOS or -65° for CPU). I hope these are only "cosmetic effects" - or are FanControl / LibreHardwareMonitorLib.dll able to create any physical damage? -------------- Thanks anyways for implementing FanControl, I am really enjoying it and your development efforts. -------------- One suggestion: If FanControl starts and cannot find any Fans for CPU and/or GPU, an error message would be awesome. Something like this: "CPU/System Fans are not detected. This is not a fault of FanControl. FanControl uses LibreHardwareMonitor/OpenHardwareMonitor and it seems your motherboard is not supported." -> links to their github repository.
