#Led fan editor usb detect update#
All tools doesn not require internet connection, but alienfan-gui and alienfx-gui will connect to GitHub server for update check if connection avaliable.
The rest of alienfx- tools does not require Administrator and can be run at any level.
"Enable Fan control" selected (the same reason as for alienfan-gui).
"Esif temperature" selected (access to ESIF values blocked from user account).
"Disable AWCC" selected in Settings (stopping AWCC service require Administrator privilegy).
alienfx-gui requre Administrator rights in some cases:.
alienfan-gui, -cli and -overboost always require Administrator rights to work (for communication with hardware).
Windows 10 v1903 or later (binary files for 64-bit only, but you can compile project for 32-bit as well).
#Led fan editor usb detect driver#
Alienware light device/Alienware ACPI BIOS (for fan control) present into the system and have USB HID driver active ( alienfx-cli can work even if device not found, but Dell LightFX present into system).
You should add HwAcc.sys, kdl.dll and drv64.dll into antivirus exception list or do not use fan control (light control wiil work without this files). It's not a virus, in fact, but the kernel hack for load driver. Starting from the release 4.2.1, Antiviruses can detect virus into project package.
In some cases, this is the only way - for example, Alienware m15/m17R1 does not have EC control at all.
It's more universal - Most Alienware systems have the same interface.
It's more safe - BIOS still monitor fans and have no risk fans will be stopped at full load.
It utilize propietary Alienware function calls inside ACPI BIOS (the same as AWCC).
Group lights, create light/fan Profiles for different situations, switch them by runing games/applications.īut instead of many other fan control tools, like SpeedFan, HWINFO or Dell Fan Control, this tools does not use direct EC (Embed controller) access and data modification.
I can use some uncommon calls to set wider range of effects and modes. For older systems, change rate can be up to 20cps, for modern up to 120cps. Light control tools work with USB/ACPI hardware device directly, it doesn't require some other tools/drivers installed.
AlienFan-Overboost - CLI tool for manual/automatic fan overboost (set higher RPM that BIOS suggest).
AlienFan-CLI - Command line interface tool for control fans (and lights for some systems) as well as some power settings from command line.
Set you fan parameters according to any system temperature sensor, switch system power modes.
AlienFan GUI control - simple fan and power control utility.
AlienFX-Probe - CLI application to probe devices and lights and name it for using into other applications.
Support all Dell's API functions using my low-level SDK.
LightFX - Dell LightFX library emulator.
AlienFX-CLI - Make changes and check status of your AlienFX lights from the CLI (command line interface).
You can control you system lights (including hardware and software effects such as system parameters monitoring, ambient lights, sound haptic), fans, temperatures, power settings and a lot more.
AlienFX Control - AWCC alternative in 500kb.
AWCC don't needed anymore - here are light weighted tools for Alienware systems lights,fans,power profile control:
