FanControl

FanControl is an open-source software that lets you control your PC’s fans. The program offers support for a multitude of motherboards, graphics cards and other hardware such as AIO cooling boards. That’s to say, you can stop monitoring the different fans of your computer using separate apps and start monitoring them all from a single place, more effectively addressing any problems, whether that’s noise or cooling.

The first interesting point about FanControl is that, unlike many other similar programs, it does not require installation. You only need to unzip the files in a folder, double-click on the .exe file, and that’s it. When running the program for the first time, it will perform an initial inspection to check how many fans you have and to which piece of hardware they correspond. Depending on the hardware, it will even recognize it and assign it a name, although you can also give it a custom name.
