Fan control in Windows

It’s this assertion of “many” that I take issue with. Yes, there are some. But I read the forums a lot and it’s almost all - you. You are definitely allowed to have an opinion on it, voice your concerns and pass along your request. But - at a certain point - just face facts that (a) nothing is being done officially about it at the moment, (b) it’s not as widespread a problem as you seem to think it is, and (c) it’s hardly an army of users requesting this.

For those whom it really bothered and who had the skills, they wrote programs to address this based on source code released by Framework. You are free to use those. If you don’t like those programs, please take it up with their developers. I do not believe they will be particularly receptive to your suggestions, but you never know. There’s a saying in open source: “patches welcome”. If you don’t like how something works, feel free to change it. If you lack the skill or time to do so (and I count myself in that camp, definitely) then you have to request what it is you want and wait until it comes out. And you have to accept the outcome. You have definitely requested what it is you want. If Framework doesn’t take up your request, that’s up to them. Fortunately others have released programs to do this. If they’re not what it is you want, you will have to be more patient.

If you want to see a widespread issue which Framework has noticed and is addressing:

This is a widespread issue and is affecting many users, and it is being addressed. You can see from the number of responses and different users posting that it’s a real problem that got noticed.

Which ones? Do they have proprietary hardware or firmware that would not be supported in any way other than officially by them? Have they released source code to let others do this as well?

Agreed, I do not want to take things too off-topic. If there is to be a fan control GUI in Windows, yes, let’s discuss it here. Not repeated requests for it or assertions that many, many users are requesting it because that’s just not true.
