 I don’t know about the rest of y’all – but I find some of the bloated, proprietary software solutions for controlling coolers to be annoying. CoolerMaster agrees – they’ve redesigned their software suite and will be making it open source and have API/plug-in system that will allow other products to integrate into it. In fact, you’ll be able to use non-CoolerMaster coolers with it.

 

My thoughts

Always a fan of open source, I'm extremely excited to hear this news. Hopefully this means that it'll work on Linux eventually too!

cool I guess, got to see how it goes.

a lot more should have been easier to control from day 1, but everyone wanting their own thing.

rgb, software, and so on.

Would be great all vendors do so.

Definitely neat. If there's no underlying dastardly plans I hope other companies with less usable software just dev a plug in for their coolers or something instead. 

 

It seems unlikely that'd happen, but I can dream
