nbfc-revive VS FanControl.Releases

The closest I've gotten to successful control is by using the nbfc-revive fork of NoteBook FanControl (https://github.com/UraniumDonut/nbfc-revive) by following these steps:

For laptops there's nbfc or its rewrite nbfc-linux.

One other idea, https://github.com/UraniumDonut/nbfc-revive

I got rid of NitroSense and installed NBFC instead. (https://github.com/UraniumDonut/nbfc-revive) Fans go on when they should and off when they should. You know the laptop's very hot when NBFC ramps up the speed to the max as soon as Windows boots up.

If it came with Windows 11, stay with Windows 11 unless you have a product key for Windows 10. Windows 11 garbage right now, but it'll catch up soon. Don't worry about undervolting. Just set your power plan to 99%. If you remove NitroSense and replace it with NBFC (https://github.com/UraniumDonut/nbfc-revive) you'll be golden.

Change your power settings to use 99% of the CPU. Also make sure you're using Notebook Fan Control. https://github.com/UraniumDonut/nbfc-revive

There's also a fork of it with more updates, since the other tool wasn't updated for quite some time: https://github.com/UraniumDonut/nbfc-revive

I understand that some people want to avoid the CC at all cost. It might reduce battery life and it's a crappy peace of software in general. The Notebook Fan Control project got revived and it seems that in the next couple of days an update might be included that will support the 11800H. This would allow you to control the Fans without the CC. Some people uninstall CC completely (and lose the OSD, Keyboard Color Control, Power modes and thus the ability to raise the GPU Power limit), some have it autostart and kill it. If you write a script for that which kills CC on login and starts NBFC, this could be comfortable and you might keep the OSD. Also you could choose Turbo Mode and kill your CC afterwards. https://github.com/UraniumDonut/nbfc-revive

You don't really need PID, just a decent fan curve with https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases

I think you're looking for FanControl https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases There is a bit of initial setup but nothing crazy, and it guides you through with a nice and clean UI. Once you're in, you can set your fan curve and all the smaller details if you want, like how long will the fans take to spin up or spin down, or how long to delay a speed change after hitting a certain temperature threshold so that its not constantly revving up and down

You could even replace all the fans with Noctua nf a12s and control using this and still have saved money: https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases

MSI Afterburner should work for gpu fans. Motherboards typically have their own version of software for fan control, so you could use that (dl from mfg website), or there's this one that I know of that should work for any mobo (although there's probably others): https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases

If your fans are heywire, draining your bats download fan control. Works great.https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases

I've seen a lot of reccs pointing to https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases if you don't want to stick with your BIOS to control fans.

Being a Corsair PSU, you might be able to control the fan curve with this open source fan software

This app relatively the same feature, but is not open source and run only on Windows
