I have been experimenting with this software for a bit & admire its precision despite being free to use. However, it seems to be lacking one thing that would make it genuinely perfect in my opinion: Intelligent RPM targets. Yes, I'm aware of the built in fan calibration - It could be better. It's quite common for PWM:RPM of a fan to drift over time, so I'm wondering if there are any plugins (or how to create one) that can target a desired speed while using the actual RPM of the fan as a sensor. I'm assuming this is possible because RPM is detected without any calibration. I understand this has a very nuanced impact on anything, but such is the passion of an enthusiast.

It can do that natively. Setup a fan curve and click the three dots, in that menu you can switch to RPM mode where you can set the desired RPM. It won't be there exactly, but within about 5% either direction is about the best you can hope for with the tolerances of PC fans.

That 10% variance is what I'm attempting to mitigate here. If the software is natively capable of this, then surely there is a way to let it read the RPM sensor itself instead of estimating what PWM to use based on pre-calibration. All I want to know is if a plugin for that already exists or not, and in the case of the latter I can just make that a personal project.
