  • OMEN Gaming Hub is corporate malware - any alternatives for controlling performance and fan speeds?
    4 projects | /r/HPOmen | 19 Apr 2023
    Non tinkerer answer: no Otherwise: Maybe, specially if you are a programmer, take a look at this project https://github.com/determ1ne/OmenHubLight (it supposedly supports four zones rgb and fan control), or this one https://github.com/alou-S/omen-fan which is for linux, but should give you an idea of what has to be done and maybe port it to windows using ec-probe utility from https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc, and last but not least the hp-wmi linux driver https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/platform/x86/hp/hp-wmi.c which has some of the gaming hub features ported.
  • PowerShell Script - Fan Speed Control

    To depress just yet, fortunately, there is a very nice, open-source windows tool that can be used to control a laptop fans: NOTEBOOK FAN CONTROL

    FYI you may be able to manually adjust the fan using e.g. FanControl or NoteBook FanControl (though AFAIK this supports only manual setting, no automatic curves).
  • is there a replacement for msi dragon center?

    Maybe check out nbfc. It's a pretty cool tool, you can control your fan speed from terminal and you can create bash scripts and set shortcuts to control your fan speed. I have set up shortcuts like this so I don't even need to open terminal and its very convenient to control fan speed without needing to open any app.
  • Slim 7 Pro/Ryzen 5800H fan control?
    2 projects | /r/AMDLaptops | 18 Jul 2022
    I own a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro (5800H); and especially now it's summer it can get quite hot, even under lighter workloads. I'd like to spin the fans up a bit to make the chassis a bit cooler. I found that there are some apps for this, such as Notebook FanControl and Fan Control, but neither seem to be able to change this laptop's fan speed. Hence my question: has anyone with a similar laptop managed to manually change fan speeds? Are there any other apps (or forks of the apps listed before) that are able to do this?
  • The best fan control app I've used on Windows 11

    If you want a good fan control program for laptops, check out Notebook Fan Control. I found it really handy on my HP Envy x360.
  • Fan control

    https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc I've used this in the past. The only part I don't like is it uses Mono, although it worked fine for me. There is also a linux port for this : https://github.com/nbfc-linux/nbfc-linux, but I'm having trouble with it.
