  1. 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?
  2. Has anyone a RX 6800? How is the compatibility with fancontrol?
  3. How to? Mine do not show RPM, only the percentage.
  4. 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.
  5. This Graphs has the lowest AFR values between 35 and 46 celcius.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
