Does anybody know if it's possible to use this to control case fans based on sensor's temps other than the CPU ones? I've been fiddling with it for 10 minutes and can't figure it out.
I have an oversized CPU cooler and a pretty closed case (thermaltake view27). For now I'm brute forcing airflow with the 3 intake front fans but it gets loud even while idling.
Since the cooler is oversized, by default the case fans won't spin up faster even when my GPU is dumping tons of heat into the case. I'd like to set it so it takes the temps off a motherboard sensor rather than the cpu
You can, you can create a profile based on a sensor. I had to install the it87 driver for Linux to identify the case cooling fans I had.
My case fans are listed and I can see the rpm, I just couldn't figure out the "create a curve based off the temp of this other sensor" part.
