Software to manually control CPU fan?

Hello, how are you?

I am looking at a software to be able to control the cpu cooler fan manually from windows.

Kind of like what afterburner does for the GPU.

I want to have the board be able to control the fan with the default fan curve so that under normal conditions the fan is quiet.

But then, I would like a software to allow me to manually bump the fan to 100% (1300 rpm) before launching a game.

 

Like I have in afterburner. I have my default fan curve to have while on the desktop and browsing. But before I launch a game, I like to manually set the gpu fan to 65% as that gives me good temps and I don't really like the up and down noise while gaming that I get with variable fan speed,

 

Any such utility?

 

Thanks.

Cheers!

Too bad. You can try your luck with Speedfan. But its not supported on majority of newer mobos. Next is Gigabytes own software (which has been crap for years). Third option would be pay for software.
