Using the command line argument -c or --config, create a script with any scripting method (cmd, powershell, python...). If no running instance of FanControl is operational, it will start a new one. If a FanControl instance is running, it will send a message to that instance to change the config as commanded.

FanControl.exe -c myCustomConfig.json

You can also create a (or multiple) shortcut(s) with a target like so.

C:\FanControlFolder\FanControl.exe -c Default.json

Make sure the "Start in" folder points to the same location as the exe and your config file you. In this case:

C:\FanControlFolder\

You can then use that shortcut/script to...

  • Create a scheduled task to use a config at night, then back during the daytime
  • Bind a keyboard hotkey with a variety of different software, like the one that came with your keyboard.
  • Create a StreamDeck button to change config.
  • Automate in any way you can imagine.
