Windows 10: Is there any way to control the fan speed?

I use a Mac as well and there is a utility app called Macs Fan Control where you can easily set a custom fan speed.

On the other hand, my windows laptops overheats a lot and I'd like to know if there is any way I can increase/decrease the fan speed...

If you know a way then please share!



Thanks

any way to control speed of case fans

is there a way to control speed of case fans windows 10, z390a asus motherboard gaming pc

I had looked at that. PWM control ranging from idle to max over one of 4 preset ranges. It has 2 problems:

1. The lowest temperature range is 35° - 45°C (95° - 113°F) - doesn't kick in at a low enough temperature.
2. It does not shut the fan off - just leaves it on idle. (Pulse width for idle is selectable.

Coolerguys has a temperature controlled switch with a hard-coded range of 27° - 31°C (81° - 88°F) but is just on/off - turn on at the high temp; turn off at the low temp. I don't know if that is good or bad. The temperature range fits my needs but I would rather have variable speed - either PWM or voltage controlled - over the "On" range.

I'm creating a somewhat "hardened" location for a NAS so I don't have to rely on off-site backups - sort of an Ethernet-connected cloud storage. There will be the NAS and a small UPS in some kind of (as yet undetermined) enclosure in a corner of a crawl space. Ventilation is not ideal so I expect I will need a fan or two. Temperature controlled computer case fans seem like a good solution but I'm obviously not going to be plugging them into motherboard fan headers. I'm going to need 12v power and some kind of fan controller with a temperature probe.

The power supply is probably not a problem. I've seen a number of small power supplies feeding a Molex connector. But I'm having trouble getting my head around the number and types of fan controllers. I could use some assistance.

A few key points:

1. The temperature setting needs to be either in non-volatile storage or be set by a knob or slider. This NAS setup is going to be fairly inaccessible. I don't want to have to re-enter the temperature setting if there is a power outage. (The UPS will help but we've had power outages that lasted days.)
2. My NAS claims to have a max operating temperature of 104°F / 40°C. I assume that means ambient temperature rather than the temperature of some internal component. The temperature in the crawl space is currently 67°F (with outside temperatures in the 90s) and never varies very much.
3. I think I want the fans to shut off when not needed rather than be running constantly a slow speed. (Unless the enclosure really traps heat I may not need the fans at all. No sense wearing out the fan bearings needlessly.)
4. I think I want the fan speed proportional to the cooling needed rather than a binary off / max.
5. I assume I will use 2 WPM-capable fans I've got lying around.

Anyone know of fan controllers that fit my needs?
