Important! If you are using tools for the first time, please read Beginner's guide and AlienFX-GUI readme to configure out its concept and operation principle.

Fan-SDK_V1.zip have binaries built against older fan control version, use it only in case you know what you're doing (or have Aurora R7), check readme file inside archive first to configure out how to make it working!

Changes into this release:

All fan-control GUI tools:

  • Bug fixed: Then in G-mode, tool trying to set it again every poll interval, providing micro freeze and other sad effects.

AlienFX-GUI:

  • New: Full map with grids for Alienware m16R1.
  • New: SystemID (hardware identificator) added to "Fans and Power" tab (right corner above curve). This ID used to define exceptions for some systems not working well at default settings.
  • Bug fixed: Light stay on then switching to other light at the same device at "Devices and Grids" tab.

Known issues:

  • AlienFX-GUI can crash at start due to incorrect settings. Feel free to contact me in case you meet this, i need your configuration to pinpoint it, currently can't reproduce at my hardware zoo.
  • ESIF (DPTF/IPF) sensors can disappear from sensor list in some cases. Under investigation. As a quick fix, open registry editor and set "DPTF" to 1 at "HKCU\Software\Alienfan" branch.
  • ESIF sensor names can't be retrieved for the newer IPF systems. Under development.
