Cooling

SignalRGB’s Cooling page gives you full control over your fans and pumps. From simple direct speed control to complex multi-point custom curves, this page covers everything you need to get started.

When you first open the Cooling page, you’ll see a widget for each cooling device detected in your system. Before configuring anything, calibrate each fan using the Calibrate button on its widget.

Calibration measures each fan’s start and stall speeds. SignalRGB uses these to ensure it never sets a speed below the fan’s operational limit.
