i am absolutely fed up with armoury crate fan xpert 4, what is a good alternative? 4x 140mm corsair ML fans in my case are really the only ones i need to control with profiles.

- switch on =
sudo echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/asus-nb-wmi/hwmon/hwmon4/pwm1_enable - switch
off =
sudo echo 2 > /sys/devices/platform/asus-nb-wmi/hwmon/hwmon4/pwm1_enable
please note that you must check which folder contanins pwn1_enable (in my case hwmon4)
We have the same laptop model and I also went searching for a way to control the fans the same way as with Armoury Crate since the instructions detailed in the ArchWiki weren't working for me then after quite some time I saw this on a reddit post:
In Kernel 5.6 there is a fan mode for asus laptops, check if you have /sys/devices/platform/asus-nb-wmi/throttle_thermal_policy 2 - Silent, 0 - Balance, 1 - Turbo, similar to the modes in armoury crate on windows.
I use Manjaro which is already on 5.8 at this time so I tried modifying it and it worked excellently. Here's the reddit post if you want to check it out: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/g2na6s/asus_zephyrus_g14_the_first_few_hours_on_linux/
Is bios my only option, since ai suite 3 doesn't include fan expert anymore?
Same here, got a ROG STRIX B660-I GAMING WIFI last Friday and the FanXpert is missing in AI Suite 3. You can try Armoury Crate but I do NOT recommend it, this pice of Software is cancer, hell of bloatware, it use tremendous amount of system resources and makes it unstable.

The internet is full of people desperately searching for alternatives.
Is it not under Qfan control in BIOS, forget what page it's on.
Think that is what it's called on my X570 tuf in BIOS.
I just got new laptop and I uninstalled Armoury Crate because everyone saying it is bad. Now i dont know how to control fan speed or mode. Can it be only done with Armoury Crate?
