AppControl tracks CPU, memory, disk, temperature, and GPU usage over time, with controls for managing applications.
FanControl
Fan Control lets Windows users control CPU, GPU, and case fans according to temperature readings.
About FanControl
FanControl is Windows software for controlling CPU, GPU, and case fans using temperature readings. It works with a variety of motherboards, GPUs, and other hardware such as AIOs, so different fans can be managed together.
It provides seven fan curve types, including mix curves that combine multiple curves with functions such as maximum, minimum, or average. Users can create multiple configurations, adjust settings such as fan calibration, hysteresis, response time, and start and stop behavior, and add sensors through .NET plugins. Start and stop behavior including 0 RPM operation depends on hardware support.
