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:

The most important change of v9 release is OC (Overclock) features. It still experimental and under construction, but some features available right now!

All fan-control GUI tools:

  • New: CPU TCC control and memory XMP profile selection sliders added to GUI. TCC is a throttling point, you can decrease it to throttle CPU earlier. XMP is memory profile settings can boost memory performance.
  • New: System ID (system identification) exposed into GUI. For FX-GUI, it's located at fan tab's top right corner. For Fan-GUI, it's located the bottom-left corner. See "Known Issues" for some details.

AlienFan-CLI:

  • New: settcc, gettcc, setxmp, getxmp commands added.
  • Experimental: 2 test commands added:
    • probe=?: BIOS OC unlock setting. Seems like "0" enable BIOS OC, "1" disable it.
    • test: Current system OC status. It's 3-digit status code (like "101" or "202") - for my reference.

AlienFX-GUI:

  • New: ALieware Area 51R4 profile added to autodetection.
  • Bug fixed: Tool crashes after some time if Grid effect applied to the zone without lights on grid.

Known issues:

  • On some systems, enabling overclock will provide a change into System ID - it alters to 0. So check it - this can be indicator OC enabled in BIOS.
  • Some OC functions not implemented into my BIOS, so i need community help to implement it. Feel free to contact me into Discord if you want to be a part of testers. Your system should support "Overclock" functionality into AWCC.
  • There are still some rare random crashes into light configuration, under investigation.
