Important! If you are using tools for the first time, please read Beginner's guide and AlienFX-GUI readme to configure out it's concept and operation principle.

Warning! Some older configuration formats not supported anymore! Backup your configuration using alienfx-config!

  • In case you upgrade from 7.7.2.1 or early, first install and run 7.8.1
  • In case you upgrade from 7.10.5 or early, first install and run 7.10.6.2
  • In case you use g-mode control, you lost it state into profile if roll back from this version.

Fan-SDK_V1.zip have binaries built against older fan control version, use it only in case you know what you're doing (or have Aurora R7), check readme file inside archive first to configure out how to make it works!

Changes into this release:

All fan-control GUI tools:

  • New fan UI to simplify control and better understanding:
    • Fan control is per-fan, so check boxes removed from fan list, and it's moved to left
    • Instead, check boxes into sensor list - so now you can see what sensors checked to control selected fan
    • Some buttons renamed to reflect what they really do
  • Tray icon tooltip handling modified - now apps uses significantly less CPU.
  • Monitoring procedure optimized, and CPU usage decreased if active.
  • G-mode handling optimized - it's now simpler and handle profile switch better.

AlienFX-GUI:

  • Bug fixed: Random exception at light updates (incorrect data into light query).
  • Bug fixed: Incorrect brightness set to device in some cases.
  • Bug fixed: Incorrect light updates at start/quit app (LightFX status not handled correctly).
  • Bug fixed: Duplicate color can be set at update, providing slower light update.
  • Bug fixed: Small bug with selection in some dialogs.

AlienFan-GUI:

  • Bug fixed: Fan control menu issues with some states and buttons.

AlienFan-CLI:

  • Overboost process optimized to decrease tool size.
