Fan Control is a Windows utility designed to give users fine-grained, customizable control over system fans (CPU, GPU, case, etc.) based on temperature and sensor inputs. Rather than relying solely on BIOS fan curves, it allows dynamic adjustment of fan behaviour at the operating-system level — letting you react to real-time load, mix multiple sensors (CPU, GPU, motherboard, drives, etc.), and define custom fan-speed curves for different situations. The tool supports both manual mode (user directly sets fan speeds) and automated mode (fans follow sensor-driven graphs), enabling flexible tradeoffs between noise, cooling, and performance. ...

...A core concept is “auto fan control” profiles where you pick a target temperature sensor, select which fans should follow it, and then shape the curve via a graph-like interface. It also includes quality-of-life options like renaming items, choosing units (including Fahrenheit), and starting minimized for a set-it-and-forget-it setup.

Argus Monitor is a powerful fan-control and system-monitoring tool that gives you complete control over cooling behavior across your entire PC. It allows you to manage CPU, GPU, motherboard, and AIO fans using fixed values or advanced temperature-based control curves sourced from any sensor in your system. With multi-controller support, fan profiles, hysteresis, and temperature averaging, Argus Monitor offers smooth, precise fan adjustments with minimal noise fluctuation. The software also includes robust temperature monitoring for CPUs, GPUs, SSDs, RAM, and additional sensor channels. ...
