About Argus Monitor

Argus Monitor controls fans on motherboard headers, AIO coolers and external fan controllers, using fixed values or control curves tied to any temperature source such as CPU, GPU, HDD and SSD, motherboard or AIO sensors. Several controllers can run in parallel for each fan, with the highest value applied.

Profiles can be switched from the interface or by hotkey, and hysteresis, averaging and rate limits keep fan speeds steady. It is paid software with a fully functional 30-day evaluation.

Strengths

  • Fan curves based on any temperature, including drives and GPU
  • Multiple controllers per fan
  • Profiles switchable by hotkey
  • Hysteresis and averaging for steady fan speeds

Limitations

  • Windows only
  • Paid after the 30-day trial
  • Fan control depends on supported hardware
