The first link is an original project which could be downloaded here , but just like SpeedFan, the project is not updated anymore. However, thanks to the code base being open sourced, there are a couple of active branches, LibreHardwareMonitor being the best one I found, supporting my MSI Z390 Edge AC board and being updated regularly. OpenHardwareMonitor is divided into two parts, an API to interact with your hardware ( CPU, RAM, Fans. The existing UI is a HWMonitor clone that allows to set a manual fan speed to any fan, but no temperature/speed fan curve here. The Reset() method is called when the control is disabled and should return back to its default state.So I decided to make my own lightweight application with the OpenHardwareMonitorLib API, and here is what I got so far. The Set( val ) method should activate your control and apply the value to it. IPluginControlSensor (inherits IPluginSensor)Ī control sensor controls sets a value to a fan ( or whatever else ) from a fan curve. Update the value of your sensor in that method from whatever source you are using. The Update method is called internally by the FanControl backend every update cycle, which right now is 1 Hz.

Use this method if you want a single hook to update all your sensors from a single method instead of updating from every sensor. New implementation that inherits IPlugin and adds IPluginLogger: Let you write in the error log file.IPluginDialog: Let you invoke a message dialog to the user.You may (optional) inject the following in your plugin's constructor: The load method gets passed a 'container' object which contains different lists for your sensors to be added. These methods should be able to be called in this order any number of times without any side-effect or undisposed resources. The life-cycle of the plugin is as follow: You must implement the interface with the following members: At startup, it will find IPlugins implementations by reflection. Drop your dll into the Plugins folder of FanControl.Implement the interface IPlugin OR IPlugin2.Fan Control supports plugins to inject sensors and controls into the software from external sources.
