Fan Control at a glance
Fan Control is a free Windows application for controlling CPU, GPU, and case fans. Using freely definable fan curves, multiple temperature sources, and mixing or limit functions, speeds can be tuned precisely to load and noise levels. An extension system adds further sensors and hardware through plug-ins, and the software can optionally run as a service before any user signs in.
The source code is not open, but the author publishes every build as a release in the official GitHub project, including an archive, an installer, and a changelog. A built-in updater announces new builds.
Before updating, back up the configuration with the fan curves and sensor assignments. After a switch, check the installed plug-ins for compatibility and verify sensor detection, since hardware source labels can change. Signed executables reduce antivirus false positives but do not replace a check of fan control after the update.
