Step aside outdated "Speedfan" app, here is your successor.

If you want full control of all your fans (Including GPU fans) then this app is King and it's free. When I say, "Full control", I don't mean that you can just control all your fans, I mean fully control all your fans simply and creatively. The app is call "Fan Control". JayzTwoCents has a great get started video:

Here is how I have mine setup: https://imgur.com/nzEz9z4

Here are a few things you can do with "Fan Control" (Look at the picture in the link above to get an understanding):

• Create as many fan curves that you want or need

• Each fan curve can be assigned to a thermal sensor (CPU, GPU, or whatever sensors the motherboard is reporting).

• You can combine individual fan curves into a Mix group

• You can assign a fan curve to fan that is connected to a fan header, or you can assign it to a "Mix group". Any fan or set of fans that is assigned to a Mix group will automatically be assigned to the fan curve that has the highest temperature sensor (it will switch back and forth between the hottest sensor that a Mix group is assigned too). Remember each created fan curve is assigned to a sensor (CPU, GPU, or whatever sensors the motherboard is reporting).

• You can do the same thing with GPU fans and anything connected to fan headers that some GPU cards have.

• There is a lot more features

• The Fan Control project is quite active with timely updates which can add new features.\

For those resisting by saying that FanSpeed is good enough or FanSpeed is simple and easy to use also need to know that the last day FanSpeed was updated was 21st of February 2015. That is over 7 years now, and it wasn't even built for Windows 10 or Windows 11.

Please NOTE: The app doesn't install on your computer; it runs with the unzipped folder. This allows you to move the folder to wherever you want (Even on a flash drive).

FYI - For Mac users running Windows: Most of you probably have a MacBook/Pro which is a laptop. It will not work as the developer states that laptops are not supported.

My 12th gen fw looks more like a Boeing 747. It sounds veery loud, and it´s quite annoying when in libraries or in my coworking space when people are quiet.

I work with Unity Engine for 2D environments, which shouldn't be as demanding as working with 3D/Physics etc... Usually the laptop is silent till I open spotify plus a couple of browser tabs, then party starts...

Honestly the CPU/RAM/GPU usage at that time shouldn't be enough to trigger such a violent ignition😅

Any W11 user that have any tool to manage fan speeds / ignition threshold (temperature)?

**EDIT :

My Solution

Disabling Intel Turbo Boost + Setting a Balanced plan worked quite well for me.

Fans haven't even got triggered even with all this workload:
Using Unity Engine + VS Code with Copilot (many tabs opened) + ~5 MS Edge tabs opened + Spotify + Discord + PureVPN.

Also, monitored the temperature and very punctual spikes in ~75ºC, but generally at ~50ºC.
Extra: I use a laptop riser holder, which presumably should help a bit with thermals
