I was just reminded of how useful this was for me, since i was too lazy to setup fan curves in the cli with pwmconfig. This took me 10 minutes of tinkering and my temps went down a lot under load on my gpu and the machine is a lot more silent when idling.
What happens when the daemon is stopped depends on the implementation of your drivers. I have driver for my mainboard fans that is not in the mainline linux kernel but maintained by a single guy that just recently added the functionality to give back the control to the motherboard (bios settings).
Long story short: if you disable coolercontrol and notice that your fans don’t change their speed when the temperature rises / falls, or act like they did from the bios settings, reboot your system.
Yup it immediately picked up my Nvidia GPU and let me handle it’s temp curves and case - fans based on it like a charm.
Just uninstalled fancontrol-gui and gotta keep this one^^
I’m on a sff case and the GPU is often times the most hot thing in this so i need to control my case fans based on the Nvidia temp instead of CPU temp or something else.
Since there is no screenshot in the repo i thought i’d drop this here. You technically don’t even need to install the GUI app (but you can) since the daemon starts a webserver on localhost:11987 which looks like this:
if one already has set their (primitive) curves in the crappy bios interface, does this just override them once the daemon is running?
In my case it does.

Nice find, i install it right now and compare it to fancontrol-gui
fancontrol-gui is nice and all… but it’s annoying sometimes and it doesn’t automatically recognize my NVidia GPU.
I also stumbled upon fancontrol-gui but it seemed a bit dated to me (last commit 2 years ago).
About nvidia: there is a section in the documentation. Coolercontrol relies on hwmon, which has a system wide scope.

That’s exactly my use case as well. Glad I could help you ;)
Love this product. Run my water cooling profiles on it.
