About
FanControl Pro is a small Windows program with one job: keep your PC as quiet as its temperatures allow, and no louder.
It started from a simple annoyance. Every component shipped with its own fan utility, none of them talked to each other, and the case fans had no idea the graphics card was working hard. FanControl Pro puts every fan and every sensor in one place, so cooling can be planned as one system.
What it holds to
- Lean
- One window and a tray icon. No launcher, no store, no updater humming in the background.
- Nothing phones home
- No account, no telemetry, no ads. Your sensor readings stay on your PC.
- Your setup is a file
- Every configuration is a JSON file you can back up, copy to another PC or switch from the command line.
- Open foundations
- Hardware access is built on open-source libraries, so support for new boards and cards can come from anyone.
