Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Control chassis fan headers from GPU temps?
I personally use fan2go, set it up once and forget about it. It has quite the customization, can also assign a header to a temperature sensor (my intake bottom fans are assigned to GPU, the rest to CPU). Take a look here: https://github.com/markusressel/fan2go

The minimum viable fan control script
How silent are you talking? Silent under load is hard, but quiet under load and silent on idle is possible without a passively cooled build. A good cooler for the processor + slow running case fans + a silent psu (like BitFenix Formula, Corsair RM, ...) + a noise isolating case against coil whine would be the be the foundation for that. I use an old Corsair H90 to cool my i5-5675C, AIO is on the front, my case has one good case fan at the back. Note that the H90 is only quiet when pump speed gets also reduced. With that setup, the noise under load is completely defined by the gpu (a soon to be exchanged RX 570) and the noise of the system on idle vanishes with the ambient noise.
However, the setup I describe above was loud until I got around to control the fan speeds properly. Turned out the MSI BIOS fanspeed control did not work properly. On top of high minimal speed settings (like 50% for the case fan) it ignored my settings and ran the fans higher than I wanted. That made the system rather load on idle. The solution was to control fanspeed with fan2go: https://github.com/markusressel/fan2go (plus radeon-profile controls the speed of the gpu, making it silent on idle as well.)
Fan2go is not only nice to use, it also solves the issue the article's author will run into in the future: Those hwmon paths are not stable anymore. It's possible they will work on his hardware if there is only one (or none, as in the thinkpad example using a different system), but otherwise the script will stop working with new kernels after reboots.
- Fan2go - A simple daemon providing dynamic fan speed control based on temperature sensors
-
CPU fan spinning at max speed, cannot control it.
If you want to try a different solution I suggest to give fan2go a try.
