______________________________ Version updated date: 11/04/2022 Current update version: 136 https://getfancontrol.com To run at startup: Use the new "Start with Windows" option in the left hamburger menu ______________________________ Tutorials: ______________________________ TLDR ______________________________ I built a new custom UI on top of OpenHardwareMonitor with additional features, mainly linear fan curves with custom temperature sources. ______________________________ STORY ______________________________ As you guys may know, SpeedFan is sadly not updated anymore, so newer boards are not detected properly. The main feature I used was the custom fan curves with custom temperature sources. I used it to bind my case fans speed to the hottest component of my PC, my GPU. (My BIOS only supports CPU temperature as a temperature source for the PWM fans). I searched around for an alternative software with this particular feature and only found a paid option (Angus Monitor). However, I also came around this: https://github.com/openhardwaremonitor/openhardwaremonitor https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor The first link is an original project which could be downloaded here https://openhardwaremonitor.org/, but just like SpeedFan, the project is not updated anymore. However, thanks to the code base being open sourced, there are a couple of active branches, LibreHardwareMonitor being the best one I found, supporting my MSI Z390 Edge AC board and being updated regularly. OpenHardwareMonitor is divided into two parts, an API to interact with your hardware ( CPU, RAM, Fans... ) and a UI. The existing UI is a HWMonitor clone that allows to set a manual fan speed to any fan, but no temperature/speed fan curve here. ( sigh ) So I decided to make my own lightweight application with the OpenHardwareMonitorLib API, and here is what I got so far... Current features: OTA update Multi-config support with quick-switch from tray icon Dark/light mode + colors Graph fan curves Linear fan curves Flat fan curves Mixed fan curves Sync fan curves Custom name for each fan / curve / control Material UI ( thanks to http://materialdesigninxaml.net/ ) Smooth fan speed transitions Custom temperature source Automatic or manual matching between your controls and fan speeds Activation% (dead zone) for each fan Saves your current configuration and reload it on startup Board support is updated whenever the API gets an update! Please note that this is a small personal project. It works great for my needs but I didn't test it on a hundred different motherboards. Take it as it is. If it works on your current setup, well you got your fan control situation sorted at least until you change your motherboard! If you want to help me out a bit or give me feedback, I included some links/button in the left hamburger menu out of the way to send me an email or to pay me a ... or . I will also keep an eye on this thread to see how it goes. Confirmed compatibility list from members Enjoy!

I am wondering if anyone can tell me if this is some sort of a bug or if I should be worried. My GPU is old (VEGA 64) but doesn't run that hot in general. It will stay under 80 Celsius at a sustained 99% usage. It's never been repasted or anything and has sat for over 12 months twice in its lifetime with fairly minimal use otherwise. I have never overclocked, undervolted etc. Though before I decided I wanted to learn anything about building a PC or PCs in general it did run at ~95 MAX Celsius (overall not hotspot) for about 1.5 years. Thanks in advance.

I want to specifically disable UAC for HW MONITOR and MSI afterburner. I launch them everyday and these prompts are bullshit. I don't want to disable the prompts altogether. Just for these two apps. How do I?

Just got my first build up and running, and while installing Cyberpunk 2077 i noticed on HWmonitor that one of my temps was high (TMPIN4, averaging 88C). The only closest temp is TMPIN8 at 68C, but CPU, GPU and rest of mobo is fine. Is there something i should check on the mobo, and at what temps should i be worried?

G'day All, Since upgrading my CPU, the single CPU entry has all of a sudden turned into an entry per core while missing data. Anyone seen this before and know how to fix it? CPU: AMD 5950x Mobo: Asus Crosshair VIII Impact Mobo Bios: 2402

i just build a new pc and i am having an issue that i can't figure out in hwmonitor, when i boot my pc and when i dont have games open every thing looks normal But when ever i open my game utilization drop to 0 and reliable voltage limit and operational voltage limit instantly jump to 1 my build is as follows cpu: ryzen 7 5800x gpu: rtx 3060 ti psu: Gigabyte gp850gm 850w 80+ gold ram: trident z 32gb cl16 4000mhz cooler: corsair h110i motherboard: asrock x570m pro 4

So recently i wanted to test a fan configuration on my pc with hwmonitor to check the temps. However everytime i try to open it, it just thinks and closes. I even closed every other program that might interfere with the software, but the same thing happens. Any idea on how to get it to work?

Hi recently built a new computer and first time overclocking a 9700k *edit* system specs if that help: windows 10 64bit, ripjaws v 3600 ddr4, 1070ti, 9700k at 5.0ghz *EDIT* 2: one core got up to 1.49v playing a game...no glitches and smooth, but scary to see hwmonitor say this I have put multiplier to 50 and set the settings I know off that keep the voltage/core clock from going down easily. Do you think that with an 'adaptive' voltage that these peaks of up to 1.48 are acceptable? (i hear anything over 1.45 is dangerous, but, this is adaptive for circumstances, so do i need to have it locked high at all times?) https://ibb.co/T4f5Hs1 I havent gotten the courage to try to fine tune this to the .1/.01 volts...because when i tried to overclock my ram, i had to reinstall windows(im noob), and didnt wnat to have to reinstall whole os in the process(so i just set multiplier to 50 and xmp my ramz

Hi I just upgraded(?) to the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 and I was doing temp testing and my TMPIN2 is getting rather high. Does anyone know what temp that is?

HWMonitor got a "new" update (1.31) which introduced new sensor readings. Could you explain some of them? Values might look odd (What am I doing with a G3258 on 1.9V)

Hi, for some strange reason, in HWMonitor, TMPIN5 is showing 127 degrees C. It has been like this for a while. Does anyone know what is up?

i have a xeon x5670 and running windows 10 and I've been monitoring my computer with hwmonitor on a separate monitor while playing games. i could see all 12 cores six physical and six hyperthreaded 0 through 11. just as of today I can't see cores 3 4 5 6 7 or 11 which I assume is hyper threading. hyperthreaded is turned on I don't know what I did to make it to where hw monitor doesn't see it. I'm seeing the performance hit in my games as well. i can get above 70 fps no problem in gta v and now i cant get above 50 and the world map fps sat above 150 and now its all over the place. task manager says that I have 6 cores and 12 logical processors device manager has 12 listed hw monitor is the only one that is saying that it can't see all 12 and ever since it stopped seeing all 12 that's when my performance tanked. plz halp

According to HWMonitor: The current temperature as i'm typing now is the one shown here, while te maximum temperatures on both the MB and CPU are the ones that i gathered while playing the game Sven Coop for 15 to 30 minutes (and yes, even if Sven Coop is a Half Life game, for some unknown reason it likes to consume 100% of my CPU usage; Also i've checked, i have no running programs that is consuming the CPU) Tho the GPU seems fine, i can't wonder if i should look at the cpu CORE temps, or the MB temps at the top, since i heard somewhere that the Core temperature is +10ºc higher than the average temp, i believe. Whenever i'm at that high temp and then i close the game i'm running, the Core temps can drop almost 30ºc in a matter of 10 seconds, and 10ºc in a second (not joking). I've already tried to: -Making sure the fan runs properly (it's a stock one, and it runs at 3k rpm) -Cleaned every spot i could with a pencil (it's clean as a crystal now) -Re-applying thermal paste in the CPU thing (good as new) But yet it still reads that temperature;I've also mounted an extra fan that was from the side-case thing, and placed it behind the computer as a way of sucking out the hot air that the heatsink exhausted. The temperature of the core (on worst case scenario) can reach up to 90ºc, while the MB reaches at 70 or 72ºc max; Should i care more about the mb temperature?; How do i know these readings aren't false and i'm not just looking at the program like a paranoid freak all the time? (since that's what i'm actually doing, minimizing every 5 minutes to check the temperature, because i want the computer to last until 31st of December, so i can buy a new computer altogether). Also, is the motherboard temperature ACTUALLY reflective of the temperature that the cpu is running? Thanks for answering.

SYSTIN = mobo temp CPUTIN = cpu temp TMPIN3 = cpu peci temp and presumably TMPIN6 = mobo temp (another sensor I guess?) These are what I found out so far. But what is this 'TMPIN5'? Clearly it is not PCH temp nor CPU GT cores temp... Does anyone have an idea?? This mobo is Asrock B150M Pro4/Hyper by the way.

Hello, When i am trying to overclock my Ryzen 1700 the clock speed shows in HWMonitor and CPU-Z as 1549MHz. But in the bios and on Task manager it shows the 'correct and higher' clock speed. Doesnt matter what i set the clock speeds to, as soon as it is not auto it doesnt display correct value. When i first start the system and load HWMonitor it will show the full clock speed and then instantly go down to 1549MHz. I am using the Ryzen R7 1700, MSI X370 Gaming Plus motherboard and 16GB corsair LPX Ram. Why is this happening? (added screenshot of problem) Thanks.

I recently moved my old PC parts to a new chasis along with a new power supply: EVGA supernova 850 g2. Before in in the old chasis the TMPIN0 reading from HWMonitor was usually around 30-35 deg C. Now in the new chasis, it is reading it as -66 deg C. All the other temperatures are fine (30-35 deg C range or lower). What does the negative value mean? Anything serious? PS. Still using an old Dell motherboard that came with my XPS 8700

I undervolted my FX-8350 and it crashed when running at -0.12V, so by accident I changed the offset to -0.14V instead of -0.10V. The machine actually booted fine and ran through AIDA64, blender and RealBench. But it keeps stuttering and hitching. I checked HWMonitor and I am quite confused as to A. how the system is still running, and B. how on earth did I get those clock speeds??

My motherboard is reading at over 100 degrees as soon as i boot his new build, but i can touch the motherboard anywhere i please and its NOT hot to the touch, are bot programs getting bad data from the same spot? All the components for this build were bought used. Not sure if it's worth mentioning but when I put it all together and booted the fist time the PSU was switched to 230 instead of 115 and the computer shut itself off after I plugged in a USB wifi stick, windows said it was surge protection, so i flipped the switch back to 115 and it hasn't shut down on i's own since

I'm really confused here. So, I installed a new RTX 2070 Super in my machine, the ASUS ROG Strix. But, after a day of tinkering and overclocking with it using HWMonitor and Asus GPUTweak2, HWMonitor suddenly stopped launching regardless of what I do. It originally started doing this when I enabled game boost on my MSI motherboard, which I have since disabled. But regardless of what limited troubleshooting I try, it never launches up fully. It just starts to load, stays blank, freezes, and finally shuts itself back down.

Hi friends I have searched throughout the internet and only seen a post or two that wasn’t super definitive about this. So I’m hovering on utilization limit on my Cpu primarily when not gaming. Im using HW monitor to monitor my data and also hit reliable voltage limit when I’m playing 4k max settings. Are these normal? I have an i7 7700k and a gtx 1080 ti. Also nothing in my system is overclocked

I've been using hwmonitor for a month, and my cpu temps are kinda high 66c on idle, and 98c-100 while gaming. I tried everything like changing thermal paste, and removing sidepannel and putting a electric fan in to it. Then I downloaded speedfan, hwinfo64, and argus monitor. The cpu temps are kinda low compared to hwmonitor. Is hwmonitor really that bad?

HWMonitor and Core Temp is giving me 2 very different temperatures for my CPU. According to my BIOS my CPU is around 50 degrees Celcius when idle, although I have heard that is the socket though so that might not be accurate. Does anyone know if I should be worrying or not? The temperatures given by HWMonitor are kinda terrifying for stock clock speeds (AMD Turbo enabled).

Hi, so I decided to run HWMonitor on my laptop just out of pure curiousity for my laptop and how it runs stuff such as my CPU and the temperatures. I happened to notice this battery dropdown and it's an eyebrow-raiser. I noticed my battery capacity according to HWMonitor is just shy of 28000mWh when the full designed capacity is 38000mWh, it's scary to look at. In addition to this, I also noticed this 'Wear level' thing that puts my battery capacity loss into a percentage, way to kick me when I'm down, HWMonitor... I've had this laptop since 2016 so two years now and it's been used as a daily ever since for general internet usage and light gaming such as Garry's Mod and Counter-Strike: Source. Is this life expectancy normal for this laptop? It's an Asus X205TA sporting an Intel Atom Z3735F, 2GB of DDR3-1333 memory, 1366x768 screen, and a 38000mWh-advertised battery when I first bought it. When I first got this thing, it used to last me a good 12 hours of screen-on time per charge, but nowadays it lasts as much as 7-8.

Does anyone know if the most recent version of HWMonitor accurately reports Ryzen (1-series) readings? I've heard that it doesn't, heard that it should, and heard to just use Ryzen Master, but I would like to use HWMonitor to monitor other things as well. If anyone can let me know, that would be greatly appreciated!

Hello. I overclocked mine Ryzen 3 1200 to 3.7GHz at 1.256V set in bios *didnt touched ram* and I am stress testing atm. I saw something really strange in HWMonitor, it is showing that the DRAM Voltage is 1.976V and even hits 2V could that be even correct. Are my other voltages ok? *This picture is while watching a twitch stream and stress testing with prime95 (small)* (Sorry for mine trash grammar)
