I feel like I've tried everything now but I can't get the FanControl to work at all. Tried both GUI and CLI, with the 8.5.0 + SDKv1 and Registry Update. It finds the fans and three sensors, it doesn't seem to save my settings after input through the CLI.

Fan control only available into Manual mode. Add unlock or setpower=0 before fan operation.

No. Into ONE command line - unlock setfans=100,100,100 In case getfans still show "-1" after this - this is an issue to examine.

T-Troll commented 10 months ago

Aha. So control on, but boost reset. Do you have any other fan control app (gui, AWCC Service) running?

Reshuffling commented 10 months ago

Only FanControl for GPU: image

Fresh install aside from that, AWCC hasn't been installed.

Same result with the FanControl terminated.

T-Troll commented 10 months ago

Check some services - it can stay even after GUI closed. According to readings, some interfere and even switch power mode back to auto.

T-Troll commented 10 months ago

Try to use alienfan-gui - it can block this, in case it works - look who switch modes.

Fan 3 boost randomly too 400-600 RPM and then just dies to 0 for several seconds.

Have uninstalled FanControl and will reboot.

Rebooted: image Nope, nothing seems to happen.

image No more -1 in CLI though.

And to be clear, I am not running them at the same time.

T-Troll commented 10 months ago

Aha. Control doesn't work. Let me think a bit and check the code.

You are at v1, right?

Reshuffling commented 10 months ago

You are at v1, right?

fan-SDK_V1 yes.

T-Troll commented 10 months ago

I got the point. R7 has 2 power modes only, and no manual one. I use the same control (not SDK!) code for both V1 and V2, so it's always report mode as uncontrolled (that's why you don't have red dot on curve). I'll fix this into the next version.

Reshuffling commented 10 months ago

Yeah, setpower=2 seems to work. image

T-Troll commented 10 months ago

Did you check latest version? I make some changes into v1 SDK for your system.

Reshuffling commented 10 months ago

I just use the latest version, not using the v1 at all with this command: alienfan-cli unlock setpower=2 setfans=100,100,100 and it works.

Well....

So... In case you only need fan CLI, you can use this. In case you need fan GUI or lights, we need to go a bit deeper and tune it for your system more (v1 or v2).
