[Experimental] Manual Fan Control

[seerge]

Hello fellow community,

Recently I have discovered a way to directly set fan speed in percentage points for each fan individually.
It uses same method as MyASUS does when runs your "fan testing".

In existing and standard way to set a "custom" fan curve - fan behavior would be still handled by BIOS and follow it's internal algorithm. This BIOS algorithm is different for different models, sometimes includes a very high hysteresis (delays before acting), can override some custom fan behavior, etc.

In "alternative" approach, it's possible to actually literally manually set fan speed every second based on temperature readings.

This build implements "manual" fan control as soon as you check Apply Custom Fan Curve, when you uncheck it - fan behavior will be returned back to BIOS.

Current implementation details

• More precise fan speeds, following custom fan curve as close as possible
• Fan speeds are being updated every second
• CPU and GPU temps are calculated as an average from last 6 seconds (can be set via config)
• CPU fan follows CPU temp, GPU fan follows GPU temp, Mid fan follows CPU temp
• If GPU temp is not available by some reason (for example GPU is disabled or sleeping) - GPU fan will follow CPU temp instead
• If CPU temp is also not available by some reason - fan behavior will be returned back to BIOS defaults
• Minimum fan speed is 20% unless it's set to OFF completely (similar to how BIOS handles this)
• Maximum fan speed is 100%
• Fan speed will follow line between dots, not only dots themselves
• Fans will react on temp change almost immediately

Potential downsides and risks

• If you quit application incorrectly during manual fan control, fans may keep running on last used speed and will not react on temperature changes
• No idiot-protection. If you set fan speeds to be low, they will be low and your device will heat up quickly

Please test on your own risk (!) and only as a last resort in case you can't achieve desired fan behavior otherwise

ExperimentalGHelper.zip

Updated 14.01.2025 (0.202)

Possible params for config.json (with their default values)

"fan_min": 20, - minimum fan speed (in %) when it's not OFF
"fan_hysteresis": 6, - number of seconds to calculate average CPU / GPU temp (set 1 for instant reaction)
"fan_shift" : 50, - weighted average coefficient between CPU (or GPU) temp and MAX(CPU,GPU) temps in a range from 0 to 100

• If you want GPU (CPU) fan to follow only GPU (CPU) temp, leave it as is
• If you want GPU (CPU) fan to follow MAX(CPU,GPU) temps, set it to 100
• If you want GPU (CPU) fan to follow average between GPU(CPU) and MAX(CPU,GPU) set it to 50, etc :)

If you see a big (more than 500RPM) difference between fan curve and actual readings - try to click Calibrate, it will run a quick measurement process and adjust Y-axis to match actual maximum RPMs

You will see what is actually being set as your fan speeds on Fans+Power screen under fan curves chart. Don't forget to click Apply.

At this setting, the fan speed on the left side of the machine(CPU fan) is at full speed.

At this setting, the fan speed on the right side of the machine(GPU fan) is at full speed.

But, At this setting, fan speed raise to max speed need almost 1 min, not particularly fast.
However, It's worked.

[seerge]

@FliesQQ how fast fans will speed up still depends on hardware of course :) actual command is being sent immediately (i.e. every second)

[FliesQQ]

So this is already very good now.
But FN Lock not work.
And use this should I stop all ASUS services? Now my running Asus service is 0.

[FliesQQ]

If GPU and CPU both in use, seems like CPU fan curve not function correct.

[abdulkadirozyurt]

@abdulkadirozyurt in relation to this experimental build it's only ones listed in the head post here :) As for the rest you can check Power user settings

I didn't mean the one about this experimental build, I actually asked if there is any documentation about what all the entries in config.json mean and what they do. Thank you anyway.

I would also like to point out something like this.

With this 0.194 beta version, I was able to control the fan on my 2021 asus tuf gaming f17 model code device, which I normally could not control the fan. However, today I upgraded to 0.195 pre-release version and the fan control was canceled. First I closed ghelper completely, then I deleted the GHelper folder in %AppData%, then I deleted the exe file of GHelper. Then I downloaded the 0.194 stable version and when I tried again, the fan control did not work again. Then I did the same thing again, deleted everything that needed to be deleted, downloaded this beta version and it worked.

But here's the thing, I started using the beta version and then the stable version came, I upgraded to the stable version and it was working. I deleted everything and installed the 0.194 stable version and it stopped working, I don't understand why this happened?

[seerge]

@abdulkadirozyurt Power user settings - is a full list of config settings that you may change (that don't exist in UI)

If you are using Experimental build - you need to keep using it , mainstream branch does not have this manual fan control.

Okay, I get it now, so I shouldn't update until I see this experimental feature in the new stable release description, right? Will this feature come to the stable release in the future?

[seerge]

Yes, you should download updates from this thread only :) I don't plan to merge manual fan control into mainstream branch yet.

[abdulkadirozyurt]

I got it.

[seerge]

@FliesQQ values that is being set look correct and along the fan curve.

You have mentioned that fans take time to spin up, most probably it’s slightly lagging because of that. Cause, as I understand, temps jump quickly in your testing :)

[FliesQQ]

Yes, the temperature changes too quickly and the fan responds too slowly. If the temperature fluctuates, it is possible that the temperature has risen, but the fan speed setting is still at the low temperature speed.

[seerge]

@FliesQQ fan "setting" is what you see in a red label (so it's practically instant). But how fast actual fans would react on this - is something outside of my control unfortunately

[FliesQQ]

Yes, it's really a pity.

[seerge]

@FliesQQ you can tackle that with a fan curve :) rise it to higher RPMs a bit faster

P.S. I have also updated build in the header-message, now it will refresh speeds once every 500ms (so twice more frequent)

[inthecatsdreams]

Before this update it was impossible for me to set a custom fan curve because of the bios rejecting it, now I can finally set the one I want! Thank you so much!

EDIT: My Laptop is TUF A15 with an RTX 3050

[seerge]

Great news

[fscottcopeland]

Unfortunately this build doesn't appear to be respecting my fan curves still :(

As you can see, the FanCPU and FanGPU percentages don't match what is actually running (confirmed by hwinfo fan reading)

[seerge]

@fscottcopeland can you switch scale to RPM? Asus has quite specific interpretation of % points :)

[fscottcopeland]

Here you go. I've included my HWiNFO graphs too, in case it helps. GPU seems to hit ~71c and then jumps to 5000RPM, despite the 70c point being 4200RPM and 75c being 4600RPM. CPU doesn't seem right either.

[fscottcopeland]

The frustrating thing is that if I disable the custom fan curve, the fans then run slower - e.g. the GPU fan won't then jump to 5000rpm as soon as it hits 70c.

[fscottcopeland]

@Summersoff what's your laptop? Duo 16 2023 too?

[seerge]

@Summersoff then it's just a BIOS idiot-protection, which is actually ... good :) I have similar behavior on my ROG Ally. It would keep fans off until something like 55-60C and then no matter what app sets to it - will ramp them up.

[seerge]

@fscottcopeland if you disable custom fan curve, it's back to whatever default fan behavior is for each of your modes :)

[fscottcopeland]

Yeah. Such a shame. The stock balanced fan curve isn't aggressive enough - whilst the manual fan curve gets overridden and then becomes OTT. I really need a balance in between.

[yesnt10]

Thank you so much! it works great!

[seerge]

@yesnt10 amazing

[manciuszz]

Testing it atm. Seems to work fine so far. Though an optional hysteresis feature would be nice, cause I hear the fans whooshing up and down often

[seerge]

@manciuszz they do :) because one main complains that people accuse G-Helper of - is that fans are "slow" to react and "don't follow curve precisely" (even though when fans are controlled by BIOS it's absolutely not related to the app)

I can add a hysteresis in a form of calculating an average of CPU / GPU temps for last 3 or 5 seconds, instead of acting immediately

[manciuszz]

That would be a nice to have. Preferably, hysteresis could be adjustable by the user, that would allow the user to set their preference whether they want faster reaction times or more stable fan speeds. I personally don't hear the fans because I'm wearing a headset, but I don't think the fans should be whooshing up and down that often either xD

[seerge]

@manciuszz I have updated build in the main post, and added default hystheresis in a form of using average temperature for last 6 seconds. It can be also adjusted via config.

[manciuszz]

Very nice. I'll check it out.

--- EDIT ---
It works really well. I also think the fan shift and hysteresis settings should be available in the UI, so we can do adjustments on the fly, instead of close app/edit config/reopen sequence.

[seerge]

@manciuszz my idea to keep things simple on this stage

[FliesQQ]

I've give up using this function... Now I'm using default setting.

[seerge]

@FliesQQ no worries, default fan curves are best choice for majority :)

Btw I did few more tweaks, and updated release in a header-message here. So you may also check that and see if fans react faster now (or not)

[ElluIFX]

Nice feature, thanks!
It works great on my Zephyrus M15 and acts rapidly.
But sometimes it can't turn off the CPU fan:

Could it be that my method of forcing CPU fan off is not supported？

[ElluIFX]

And it can fully turn off it after I switch to Turbo and back to Silence.

[seerge]

@ElluIFX since it shows 0% in red label, this is what app actually sets as fan speed. As I mentioned in other comment here, it is possible that BIOS would override that as an idiot-protection if CPU is too hot for it's thinking.

[ElluIFX]

@seerge That's really stupid.
What's more, maybe another check box is required for switching the legacy custom mode and this new one.
Anyway, it's a cool feature for me to avoid the broken fan from making noise, thank you.

[Akalikaton]

My Laptop is ROG G14 2020, it's very intersting, after Calibre i cant set the Fan unter 2900 RPM. The Situation is just same like 0.154.0.
I hope the Fan can keep 1000 RPM with 15 TDP, a good Plan for Document read and simple surfing.

[Akalikaton]

PS: 0.154.0 can set minimal 1800RPM and real 1800~2400 RPM

[seerge]

Currently I have set min fan speed to be 25% and max 100% correspondingly (for most laptops 25% would be 1800-2000RPM) Theoretically i can allow even 1% in manual mode, but i'm not sure if it's healthy for the fans ...

[Akalikaton]

Recently i use my G14 almost only PDF and Powerpoint reading, so light, lang battery life and quiet are much important. Maybe i should buy Macbook Air M3...But now G14 works also very well.

[seerge]

I think for office use you can get away with fans being completely off at all. Its also good for battery life

[Akalikaton]

Yeah, and i have heard about, 4800HS performance better than newest 7840H under 10W, a Surprise.

[hadixcanimm]

I bought my laptop in 2019, and Armory Crate didn't allow me to make manual fan adjustments. Since then, I've been researching for a solution every few months. Then I found you and have been using your software, constantly checking for updates, but I still couldn't find a solution for fan adjustments... until today. It's working perfectly now, and your software allows me to make manual fan adjustments. My device is ASUS TUF 506LI. I think the only thing left for me is one setting; being able to undervolt directly on my device without the ThrottleStop application.

[seerge]

I'm glad it works

[Constrat]

Working exactly as expected on G713RW.
Tried the calibration first and I got scared how fast they started ramping up, also with this version I was able to get a much higher calibration max value: (6600 and 6800)
Before I was only able to reach 5400 and 6000, because it was too slow to ramp up.

GHelper keeps on delivering!

[hadixcanimm]

When I completely shut down the fans, I occasionally encounter a blue screen error. On the blue screen, I see an error code like 'fail tdr'. Prior to the blue screen, there are black screens resembling the graphics card attempting to restart itself, followed by the blue screen error.

I don't think it's due to overheating because I monitor the temperatures and they usually hover around 50-60 degrees.

[seerge]

Are you sure it's related ? may be it's just some gpu issues? try to run fans on minimal speeds otherwise :)

[hadixcanimm]

I've set the fans to 1800rpm and never encounter a blue screen, but sometimes, when I turn off the fans, it gives a blue screen error at an uncertain time. To make sure, I formatted the computer and installed Windows 11. I've installed all drivers and will test it.

[seerge]

@hadixcanimm well, apparently something is overheating then :) it may be not CPU or GPU directly, but something on the motherboard itself or so (w/o own temperature sensor). And running fans apparently keep it in a good condition probably :)

[l-naumann]

Thank you! Works a lot better to control the fans on Zephyrus G14 2024 (GA403UI).
However, the fan now runs slightly faster on the slowest setting than with the old build. I use my laptop 95% for office and programming and I can't keep it fanless in balanced mode. Occasionally the fans have to rev up briefly, so I would prefer to run them permanently on very low RPM. At 20% they already produce a very high-pitched noise. Could you add a power-user setting to set the min fan percentage?
I also think that you need an adjustable hysteresis. When the processor is boosted for a short time, there are brief temperature peaks that cause the fans to spin up immediately.

[seerge]

@l-naumann ok. Problem is that different models seem to have different minimum fan speed (and corresponding fan % setting that triggers that) .

At first my idea to mimic asus own fan curves, where 0% = OFF, and 1% = is usually something like 1800RPM (or around 25% of max speed), so people will not have to re-edit their fan curves when they switch.

Reality is more complicated than it is.

Also there is some deviations from actual set value (in %) and real fan speed often. On my G14 2022 20% setting = 25% speed, but from what I have seen here sometimes deviation reaches up to 15% in total ... :|

[l-naumann]

@seerge I see. Maybe the automatic calibration could identify when fans start spinning by increasing fans in 1% steps, starting at 0%. When fans start spinning, add 1-2% as a safety margin and set it as new min percentage.

[seerge]

@l-naumann I have updated build in main post, now it should re-apply fan speeds after wake up no matter what

[l-naumann]

@seerge Thank you, seems to work! Could you please provide a build with min fan percentage = 0% again? Apart from that, this version is perfect for me.

[seerge]

@l-naumann i have updated build in main post again. Now you can set min-fan speed as a parameter in config
"fan_min": 20, - minimum fan speed (in %) when it's not OFF

[zackriso]

@seerge : version 0.199 kept my all my fans at 0RPM, any idea what could it be? The curve should kick the fans in at 30C. Went back to 0.198 and the fans started working again

[seerge]

@zackriso are you sure you are not mixing mainstream build by an accident? Experimental one shows a red-label with fan speeds under Fans+Power

[zackriso]

I downloaded 0.199 from this page... And if I used the mainstream one, it should still let the fans run because its above 25%

[seerge]

@zackriso there are no changes in this regard in the builds :) I'm just updating experimental branch with other unrelated changes from the mainstream.

[frozennutzz]

thankyou soo much mate this was very helpful for me....really appreciate that....i couldn't adjust or set any custom fan curves on my asus vivobook but now its possible all thanks to you mate....

Do you have any way to undervolt the cpu i tried throttlestop unfortunately was unable to do that cuz it is not allowing me to....do you have any suggestions mate...my processor is i5 12500H...

even in idle it runs hot and i was hoping to get extra battery backup through undervolting.

[seerge]

@frozennutzz hello, if you can't undervolt CPU using BIOS or other apps, most likely it's locked completely. G-Helper doesn't offer undervolting for Intel devices at all.

[skwaruch]

After the last update of services from asus (ASUSTek COMPUTER INC. - System - 3.1.38.0) G-Helper requires administrator permission. The same situation was when one of the services was disabled (I don't remember which one).
Can someone solve the problem? Is it possible to restore the service to a previous version? Is it possible to run the program with administrator privileges without entering a password?

[seerge]

@skwaruch try to download latest build from the head post. I have added one tweak, that will try to set required driver to auto-start with windows, if it's not available.

It will require admin rights to do so (once), but if driver will be auto-starting after - it will work w/o admin permissions even.

[skwaruch]

Should I download the non-experimental version?
Does it now have the experimental features?

[seerge]

@skwaruch i'm talking about experimental version from the first message in this thread (that i update)

[skwaruch]

It works, thank you very much

[skwaruch]

There was an update ASUSTek COMPUTER INC. - System. I have to delay the start of GHelper again.

[KentNguyen132]

@seerge Version 0.200.0
I've wanted this for the longest time, but there is a problem with the GPU fan.


The GPU fan isn't following my fan curve even after calibrating.

[seerge]

App sets fan speed to 100% (it shows last set value in the red label). If the fan is not following that - it means firmware is simply overriding it.

[KentNguyen132]

Are there any ways to force it?

[seerge]

I don't think so :) as it already uses "myasus fan testing" mode to set fan speeds.

Try to reboot and also check that there are no asus processes running.

[KentNguyen132]

Welp I tried, and still nothing. There seems to be 1 Asus process that will always be running after starting my laptop. Even after stopping it, the fan speed is still overridden.
Thank you for your time. I'll leave the GPU fan speed to the firmware for now.

[AlSukkar]

Thank you very much for this you can't believe how much I wanted this. My laptop idle between 45 and 50c so normally the fans starts spinning every couple minutes. Now I set it to start after 55c.
I wonder, is it possible for the app to wait a couple of seconds before reaching the threshold to start the fans? right now it reaches 55 for a few seconds then go back which makes the fans starting then immediately stop. Maybe something like the heat should average on 55c for 5 seconds then starts the fan?
Probably this happens because my laptop's cooling system is bad.

[skwaruch]

Just set it to 60c. Within 5 seconds the processor can already have a temperature of 90C

[zackriso]

Hi,

Is there a way to select which custom profile should be assigned when the laptop is on battery? Thank you

[seerge]

If last used profile on battery is not set when you switch to battery again, you can post a new issue and explain the problem and include logs. It’s not related to the experimental fan control that this specific post is dedicated to.

[G531GV]

@seerge Hi sir, thanks for amazing soft
please, give me older 0.199 beta version. This version worked pecfectly on my g531gv
For 0.2 ver constant bootloop.
Thank you so much

[seerge]

@seerge hello, there is no difference between 0.199 and 0.200 besides other (very minor) additions merged from the mainstream branch. I don't know what does the "bootloop" means, but I would recommend to test mainstream version first and if so post a separate issue with all logs and very clear explanation of your problem.

[G531GV]

Thanks for reply, simple, i have problem with 0.200 beta, cannt you re-upload 0.19 ver?
thank you for helping me

[seerge]

@G531GV as I have mentioned above, there are no differences between 0.199 and 0.200 in terms of experimental features at all. So if you experience issues - it's not due to the version or not due to G-Helper at all. I advice you to explain problem in detail and post a new issue with all requested in the template info (logs) attached. Thanks.

[RvatyGraty]

Hello!
Is there source code of this experimental version? Because using Fn-Lock doesn't match F2-F4 keys on my keyboard(Zephyrus S15 GX502LWS), I would edit source code and build it like I did with other version.
Your experimental version suits my needs for Turbo power mode. I have also noticed that MyAsus has higher RPM when testing fan speed, that's why I have created timer that would reapply turbo mode each 10 seconds so that fans would be at max speed).

[seerge]

@RvatyGraty it's not published. But if FN-Lock doesn't match F2-F4 here(i can imagine they do media controls instead?) - it won't match in the mainstream version too.

You can just post a new issue, so I can update mainstream build first. I usually merge all updates to the Experimental branch and update it too afterwards.

[RvatyGraty]

Alright, I will create a new issue with logs.

[Genialler]

Hello and Thanks.
I'm now using this tools on Zephyrus G14 2021(GA401QM),but the fans(both CPU and GPU) doesn't match the curve I set,both RPMs are 10% higher or so.I try to calibrate several times but it seems no use.
Should I just change the fan_max_0 and fan_max_1 manually in config.json to match the fans' RPM-percent ?Or there is some other solution?

[seerge]

@Genialler hello, measures max fan speeds (8400?) seem too high, that's why it may not match. Do fans really go that high when you click Calibrate ?

[Genialler]

@Genialler您好，测量的最大风扇速度（8400？）似乎太高了，这就是为什么它可能不匹配。单击“校准”时风扇真的会变得那么高吗？

Yes it is. MyAsus also get this result.
But when I try to calibrate in un-experimental GHelper(0.202.0), the results are 7100RPM(CPU) and 7400RPM(GPU),should I try this result instead?

[szetyi]

Hi both, thanks for the work @seerge.

Same issue for me on Zenbook UP6502ZA.
Works great other than reporting different RPM as opposed to fan curve:

I tried calibrating, detected as 8400 RPM:

[Genialler]

I notice that the max RPMs of CPU（8400） and GPU（5800）, have you try to run the fans analysis in MyAsus？

Hi both, thanks for the work @seerge.

Same issue for me on Zenbook UP6502ZA. Works great other than reporting different RPM as opposed to fan curve: I tried calibrating, detected as 8400 RPM:

[TheOne320]

Will the features of this experimental version ever be ported to the non-experimental version?

[seerge]

I don't plan that for now

[Yandeko]

I would like to know how to configure the fan update because I don't have config.json but I have GHelper.dll.config, should I literally enter in the line "fan_hysteresis": 5 or how to make the code clearer like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<System.Windows.Forms.ApplicationConfigurationSection>
<add key="DpiAwareness" value="PerMonitorV2" />
</System.Windows.Forms.ApplicationConfigurationSection>
<appSettings>
<add key="EnableWindowsFormsHighDpiAutoResizing" value="true" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

[seerge]

Config is located under %appdata%\GHelper\config.json

[Yandeko]

thanks

[Yandeko]

I would also like to know if I can install fan control on the second Linux system, in fact, this is the only thing that keeps me from switching to Linux

[NODARYN]

I'm using Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 X3D. I recently received the Asus System Control Interface V3 3.1.41.0 update. After this update, the functionality of the experimental version stopped working. Overall the cooling performance has deteriorated significantly since the update. Therefore, I strictly do not recommend updating the firmware at this time. Stay on version 3.1.40.0.

[seerge]

@cgamingpro Try to re-install Control Interface from scratch :) it could be something is wrong with your specific installation

[cgamingpro]

still no solution man , and as for Asus system control interface i still got 3.1.40.0 , when i try the normal version it works perfectly , but the expermental version ain't even showing CPU temps at this point , untill tonight it was working just fine been using it for months

[seerge]

@cgamingpro please read on how to properly reinstall it :)

The only thing from Asus System Control Interface that is needed is a driver that gives access to fan-testing feature from myasus. And that one is unchanged from what i see.

FIxed it , the issue was this update , windows update had already downloaded this update ,but still the installed version was 3.1.40 even after a restart , so manually installing it form windows update and then followinf this https://github.com/seerge/g-helper/wiki/Troubleshooting#reinstalling-asus-system-control-interface fixed it , so the version 3.1.41.0 is not the issue

@cgamingpro Try to re-install Control Interface from scratch :) it could be something is wrong with your specific installation

I have tried many times to reinstall System Control Interface from scratch (via uninstallation), but it didn't work in my case. For the moment I am back to the .40 version.
In the screenshot, you can see that G-Helper does not display cooler speeds on version .41

the experimental build is no longer adjusting my fan speed. here is my log file

@seerge my Asus driver also automatically updated. It seems the new driver partially breaks things. I wish I knew how to stop asus drivers from auto-updating....

It's a windows thing you can disable auto updates for your components using windows update but I will probably break the update system of every component so I wouldn't recommend it.

@fscottcopeland I have 41 and it works just fine. But i have installed it from asus website (i.e. G-Helper's Updates section)

@seerge I have 41 too, but it doesn't work for me! This is the download URL for my laptop.

I wish we could just stop the ASUS drivers auto-updating. That'd solve these issues.

I think it would be a good idea to link the CPU and GPU fan curve graphs (not permanent, tickable setting). I use the "fan_shift": 100 setting, so the hotter component always determines the cooling. Since there are connected parts in the cooling system, one component somewhat cools the other as well. However, I always have to set the fan curve twice.

Hi guys!

First of all thank you to Seerge for putting together this incredible tool - it is an absolute gamechanger for cooling my laptop properly with a constant and smooth fan noise (comapred to the standard Asus 'burst' / 'wash' fan behaviours).

I am using the Ghelper experimental version on an Asus TUF F15 FX507ZC4 and encounter the following - I have both CPU & GPU fans running at a constant low 1200 RPM, which is great to keep a cool idle (achieving below 40C for both CPU & GPU in light use/reading/browsing etc) - however both fans continue to spin when Windows11 goes into sleep mode.

I can bypass this - by selecting a different mode which does not have the custom fan curve enabled (Silent), then the fans stop on sleep - or by using the standard Ghelper where this is not an issue.

Wondering if this is something anyone here has seen / knows about?

Thanks in advance!
