How to Install FanControl v172 for iOS

When it comes to managing the fans in our PC, we often rely on software that can help us monitor and control their speed. While there are many options available, some of them may not be as lightweight or feature-rich as we would like. This is where FanControl v172 for iOS comes in – a custom application built using the OpenHardwareMonitorLib API.

The existing UI of FanControl v172 is a HWMonitor clone that allows us to set a manual fan speed to any fan, but it lacks temperature/speed fan curves. OpenHardwareMonitor is divided into two parts: an API to interact with our hardware (CPU, RAM, Fans) and a software component that provides a graphical interface for monitoring and controlling our system.

One of the challenges in finding an alternative to FanControl v172 was discovering software that supported custom fan curves with custom temperature sources. While there are paid options available, such as Angus Monitor, it's not always easy to find something that meets our specific needs.

After searching around, I decided to take matters into my own hands and build a new custom UI on top of OpenHardwareMonitor with additional features. Specifically, I used the linear fan curves with custom temperature sources feature to bind the speed of my case fans to the hottest component of my PC – my GPU.

For those who may not know, SpeedFan is no longer updated, which means that newer boards are not detected properly. This made it even more important for me to find an alternative solution.

In this article, we'll explore how to install FanControl v172 for iOS and take advantage of its custom fan curves with custom temperature sources feature. Whether you're looking for a lightweight application or something more advanced, FanControl v172 is definitely worth checking out.
