Could someone start thread for PLAYGROUND?
• To post common virtual software templates for various purposes, (e.g. fan hysteresis based on degrees, that is apparently f-cking magic in 2020, no one except for MSI Afterburner and SpeedFan supports it).
• To request virtual sensor templates for those whose imagination is weaker.
Because:
• I want my 4 system fans to spin in step-based pattern (not curve-based) + have option to set hysteresis (exactly like in MSI Afterburner).
• I don't understand half of what this bloated software does and it looks as if the devs write it for themselves and not for their customers.
• I don't want to learn (and re-learn after every update) because I have no time for that. Not to say that you can't find a PDF with clear in-depth instructions for it anywhere. E.g. why there are more than 1 set of profiles with the same color coding; how to see what settings are saved in each profile?
• I want a one-time set-up-and-forget program that I don't need to open up again until I upgrade my hardware.
Use set point controllers instead of curve controllers. It is the answer to all your questions.
It has hysteresis build into preset profile. Just set a target temperature for your water temp or delta T. I use delta T and the profile normal.
The fans ramp up slowly as heat is being generated until an equilibrium is reached. I choose a delta T of 8.5°C. If I play the latest AAA game, my fans spins around 1200rpm to keep this. When playing an older undemanding game, the fans level out around 800rpm.
When I try the same with a curve controller, the fans jump up and down all the time and it makes me crazy. Curves are for aircoolers. Watercoolers should use a set point controller imo.
