Fan control is also a much better and cheaper way of addressing that than getting into the fun fun world of water cooling. (Higher thermal density smooths out the temp spikes a bit faster without changing fan speeds)

All of my computers are water cooled, but the radiators and cases still need fans

Oh in that case I wouldn’t have expected a short spike to cause that much increase. I wonder why it’s struggling to dump the heat into the water

The app allows you to build custom sensors. I created a sensor that averages the temperature of all my CPU cores, then feeds into a sensor which create a 4 second rolling average of the temperature, then that feeds into the fan speed controller. Completely flattens out random temp spikes.

My system fans randomly ramping up and down constantly has been annoying me so much that I was going to reverse engineer my system's fan control software and build all this myself. Thank god someone already did it, because that is like a week long dev project. 🥰

If you leave the PC in a constant state of being hammered the fans run at a constant jet engine like hum. Today’s project is to move my equipment that I only use remotely into an actual remote location rather than under my desk. I figured as it was getting cooler in Australia it’d kinda even out…
