## Announcement

- FanControl, its installer and the updater now have a signed executable, which should help with AVs false flagging.
- [V238](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/releases/tag/V238) and above now ships with a [PawnIO](https://pawnio.eu/) build of [LHM](https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor). This fixes the anti-virus problems encountered with WinRing0, as it is no longer shipped with FanControl. Note that as of 09/04/2025, WinRing0 (FanControl.sys) used in V237 and below is flagged as [Trojan:Win32/Vigorf.A](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/issues/3410#issuecomment-3254057373) by Windows Defender, causing sensors to not be detected — updating to V238 or later is the recommended fix.
- The FaceIT issue was fixed with the [2.1.0 PawnIO version](https://github.com/namazso/PawnIO.Setup/releases/tag/2.1.0).

## Main Features

- Guided **setup** process on first launch
- Save, edit and load multiple **profiles**
- Change the **theme** and **color** of the application
- Multiple temperature **sources** (CPU, GPU, motherboard, hard drives...)
- Multiple fan curve **[functions](https://getfancontrol.com/docs)**, including a custom **[graph](#graph-fan-curve-editor)**
- **Mix** fan curves or sensors together (max, min, average)
- Low resource usage
- Advanced tuning with steps, start %, stop %, response time and hysteresis

Full documentation is available at **[getfancontrol.com/docs](https://getfancontrol.com/docs/)**.

**Installer** — Uninstall like any other Windows program through the Programs list.

## Plugins

The plugin system lets you inject any type of sensor into FanControl. See the [Plugins wiki](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/wiki/Plugins) for details.

## Issues and Hardware Compatibility

Fan Control is primarily a UI layer on top of existing hardware libraries. Any hardware compatibility issue is largely dependent on the upstream project:

- **[LibreHardwareMonitor](https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor)** — the main sensor/driver backend

Please **only open issues on this repository** for the software itself: UI bugs, feature requests, etc. Hardware support requests will be closed with a link to this section.

If you have a hardware compatibility request and can provide a **working** code sample usable in .NET (e.g. via a [Plugin](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/wiki/Plugins)), feel free to submit that.

## FAQ

**Q: What BIOS settings work best with FanControl?**
> Avoid any "smart" fan control from your BIOS. Setting a fixed default speed (e.g. 50%) works great for most people. Also check whether your BIOS uses PWM or DC mode — one may work better depending on your setup.

**Q: My NVIDIA GPU has 3 fans but only 2 control cards show up. Why?**
> Your card only has 2 channels; multiple fans are wired to the same channel.

**Q: My NVIDIA GPU won't go below 30% and doesn't reach 0 RPM. Why?**
> [See this wiki page](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/wiki/Nvidia-30%25-and-0-RPM).

**Q: There are no control cards, or control cards aren't changing fan speeds. What's the issue?**
> See [Issues & Hardware Compatibility](#issues-and-hardware-compatibility).

**Q: How does [FAN CURVE TYPE] work and what do its parameters do?**
> Click the card's icon at the top left — a dialog will explain it.

**Q: What OS does it run on?**
> Windows 10 and Windows 11.
