Show additional fans on same GPU #204

Closed emass-sec closed 4 years ago

emass-sec commented 4 years ago

My video card has 2 fans (many high end ones have 3) would be nice to be able to see the RPMs of the secondary fans and label them (core fan, memory fan, VRM fan, etc).

That's more up to HWinfo than this gadget really as all the gadget does is pull the Fan info from HWinfo. I have an RX 5700xt with 3 fans and in HWinfo I only get a single value for fan speed. I've had a few other GPUs with multiple fans and all I ever see in HWinfo is a single value for fan speed.

TBH, I'm not sure GPU makers even allow for the fans to be controlled separately.

It's information available on the more tweaker/enthusiasts versions, like EVGA cards with ICX technology. My EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2, for example, has secondary fan speeds shown in HWiNFO as "Power fan".

I recently upgraded my GPU and it has two separate fan sensors. I will add options to have up to three fans, since that's the most fans I've seen on a GPU before.

That will come with the next update, which will come out... someday. I've really lost the passion for this project so work on the final version is very slow. But it will come out eventually!
