Open fan-curve app. You pick the sensor plugins. The process is FanControl.exe. It is not iCUE.

What you need to know

FanControl is open curves plus plugins. It is not iCUE.

FanControl.exe uses sensor plugins you choose. iCUE is Corsair. Foxhole samples are not extra sensors Feex invented for this app.

Feex says

If a header is missing, I check which FanControl plugin is loaded. I do not invent a Feex sensor, and I do not open iCUE for a non-Corsair header.

What is FanControl?

FanControl.exe maps sensors you enable (via plugins) to fan headers. iCUE only sees Corsair hubs. This article does not claim Feex provides those sensors.

If you have never used it

If you want fan curves on headers iCUE or the BIOS do not own, FanControl is Rem0o's open app. Download it from getfancontrol.com. You add sensor plugins yourself. It is not Corsair iCUE, and Feex does not invent extra hardware sensors here.

What is it used for?

Custom fan curves

Pick a sensor plugin, then a curve. iCUE curves stay on Corsair hardware.

Mix of motherboard and other headers

What the plugins expose. Not a Corsair Commander-only list.

Optional start with Windows

So curves apply at sign-in. BIOS curves still win if you leave control there.

Who is it for?

People whose BIOS fan control is crude
PCs that also run iCUE for lighting only
Users who were told to "just use SpeedFan"

Current status

FanControl (2020) is a current fan curve utility from Rem0o. The vendor still points Windows users at https://getfancontrol.com/.

How old is it?

FanControl launched around 2020 as a LibreHardwareMonitor-based curve tool. SpeedFan is the older, largely abandoned cousin. iCUE is Corsair's vendor host.

System requirements

Values follow the publisher's public guidance. Workload still changes the real need.

Minimum

Minimum system requirements
Operating system	A current supported Windows 10 or Windows 11 release, per the vendor
RAM	Enough for Windows plus this app. Heavy projects want more.

Resource profile

CPU demand: Follows what you open inside the app
RAM demand: Follows documents, tabs, or libraries

Installed processes

These executables belong to this product when it is installed.

Installed processes
FanControl.exe	Main Windows executable

Startup components

FanControl can start with Windows so curves apply before the desktop heats up. Optional.

File locations

Common FanControl locations
Typical install	User-chosen folder (often portable)

Common problems

Two hosts on one header

iCUE and FanControl will fight. Pick one controller for that fan.

No sensors until a plugin is added

That is by design. Feex does not supply a hidden sensor pack for this app.

Getting unstuck

Install from getfancontrol.com or the GitHub Releases feed

Rem0o's builds. Skip random "FanControl Pro" zips.

Enable the sensor plugin the wiki names for your board

LibreHardwareMonitor-style plugins are user-selected. This Wiki does not invent Feex sensors.

Quit iCUE fan control when testing a header

One owner per header. Lighting can stay in iCUE if you split duties carefully.

Alternatives

BIOS fan control. iCUE on Corsair hubs. Argus Monitor and FanControl's older cousin SpeedFan.

Related hardware

Needs fan headers or a hub the plugins can see. GPU fans usually stay in Afterburner or the vendor app. No Feex-invented probes.
