There's been a bit of discussion in the NCASE M1 threads about using water temperature to drive fans - I actually did just pick up a temperature sensor to do just this (unsuccessfully, as seen in my post in that thread) - and it got me thinking, what fan control software is everyone using?
SpeedFan is good but limiting in many ways - I've found it doesn't connect to all temperature sensors, and its UI is less than intuitive.
Motherboard manufacturers provide fan control that you'd imagine would be good - but I have noticed deficiencies in how it reads the thermal sensors (this was in AI Suite 3 with... erm... Fan Xpert 2 or something like that).
Maybe it's because I've got a mini-ITX board and the full ATX boards handle this better? Or maybe people have Aqueros or other physical fan controllers?
I feel like there's a need for something like SpeedFan but with all the sensors available in HWiNFO or something like that, or like Aquasuite's ability to make "virtual" temperature probes.
