Open Source C++ Fan Control Software

Solution to the cooling fan noise annoyances Thinkpad T4x (T40/T41/T42/T43) notebook series. Allows the user to control fan activity based on the system temperature. Win XP Visual C++ project controls the fan via port IO to the embedded controller.

ATTENTION: This project is not maintained anymore. Current Macs properly manage temperature and fans. Speed fan controller and temp monitoring for MacBook Pro Unibody (Nvidia) for Windows under BootCamp. It allows to control MacBook fans speeds depending on the CPU and GPU temperature. ATTENTION: This program is designed and tested only on MacBook Pro with NVIDIA GPU. On newer MacBooks with ATI GPU the GPU temperature is not checked. On iMacs some sensors and fans are not used. In any case USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, I'm not responsible for overheating or hardware damage.

Allows control of fans in Apple computers in Windows and monitoring of temperatures. All Intel Macs supported + any conflicting programs are automatically closed and reopened. Project is no longer being actively developed. See forum for alternatives.

HWSensors is a software bundle that includes drivers and applications that allow you to access information from hardware sensors available on your Mac. FakeSMC is an open source SMC device driver/emulator developed by netkas (http://netkas.org/). NOTE: FakeSMC & Plugins starting from v915 provide additional sensors information to HWMonitor then running on Macs. By installing FakeSMC on real Mac you should consider you know what you are doing and how to recover your system if something will goes wrong.

Phoebetria lets you take control of your BitFenix Recon fan controller on more operating systems than the official software. It offers all of the same features as the official software, with the exception of remote access, and has been tested on Windows, Linux, and OS X. The current plan is that future releases will add functionality and control that the official software does not provide -- giving you even more control over your fans.

This tool let's you control the frequency and fan settings of your AMD/ATI video card. It depends on the proprietary AMD/ATI Catalyst display driver and makes use of the AMD Display Library (ADL).

AlienFX Tools is a suite of utilities aimed at controlling lighting, fan, and power behaviors on Alienware systems, directly interfacing with USB or ACPI hardware rather than relying on official drivers. This project supports a broad range of effects and modes, allowing users to customize RGB lighting zones, create and switch profiles based on system states (like power source or running applications), and generate lighting behaviors tied to thermal and performance events. Because it operates at a low level, alienfx-tools can offer faster update rates and more flexible configurations compared to some manufacturer software. It includes both command-line and graphical frontend elements to support different user preferences, making it suitable for automation as well as interactive use. Enthusiasts use it to tailor lighting aesthetics and system responsiveness, especially on systems where official Alienware control panels are unavailable or problematic.

Suite of tools for Buffalo NAS devices. Switch monitoring daemon, power management server and client, ACP server and fan control daemon.

Command line tool that uses AMD ADL OverDrive5 interface to control power and fan speed of their GPU boards. Look at the Wiki page about usage. Works on Windows and Linux (if video driver is loaded).
