## About the project
23+
24+
![Demo](images/demo.png)
25+
26+
My laptop does not support the Fan Profile option, but it often overheats. Looked for apps to control fans, but none is working.
27+
The BIOS also doesn't allow for custom fan profiles.
28+
29+
Tinkering around with Fan Diagnosis tool in [MyASUS](https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/myasus/9N7R5S6B0ZZH) application,
30+
I figured out the library it uses (`AsusWinIO64.dll`) and the functions that library contains.
31+
32+
**This program essentially uses that library to function.**
33+
34+
## Features
35+
- Three fan modes included: Eco, Balanced, Turbo (can be changed/customized freely)
36+
- Can be disabled/enabled at any time (i.e. let the system handle the fan instead of the program)
37+
- Tray icon showing current temperature (and additional details such as current fan speed, CPU temp, GPU temp)
38+
- Option to run the program at system startup
39+
- Lightweight (doesn't install anything, uses less than 3MB of RAM!!)
40+
41+
## Requirements
42+
- Windows 8.1 or higher. x64 is required.
43+
- Administrator rights needed for the program to work as intended.
44+
- [Visual C++ 2022 Redistributable package](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170)
45+
- Fan Diagnosis tool in MyASUS application is working normally (as this program uses the same library).
