Highlights

  • More DeepCool displays (experimental): AG400/AG620 DIGITAL, LS520/LS720 SE DIGITAL, LD240/LD360, LQ240/LQ360, ASSASSIN IV VC VISION, AK400/AK500/AK620 DIGITAL PRO, AK620 G2 / AK400 G2 / AK500 G2 / AK700 DIGITAL NYX and the CH510 MESH DIGITAL case.
  • CPU power and frequency for the displays that show them (LD, LQ, DIGITAL PRO and the LS power mode). They are only measured while such a display is connected, so AK users pay nothing extra.
  • Power mode for the LS series: coolercast set mode=power or Display → Power in the tray menu. Displays without a power symbol show the temperature instead.
  • coolercast list and coolercast status show the power and frequency; coolercast test exercises every display family.
  • The settings window shows the cooler preview with AK displays, and temperature, usage, power and frequency with the others.

Help wanted

The new models are implemented from community protocol notes and have not been tested on real hardware. If you own one, please run coolercast list and coolercast test (with the service stopped) and open an issue with the result, good or bad.

Install

Windows 10/11

  1. Remove the official DeepCool app (both apps would fight over the display).
  2. For the CPU temperature and power, install PawnIO: winget install namazso.PawnIO.
  3. Run coolercast-windows-x64.msi. The file is not code-signed yet: if SmartScreen warns, choose More info → Run anyway.

Updating from 0.2.0 or 0.3.0 installed with the MSI: just run the new MSI; your settings are kept.

Linux

curl -LO https://github.com/moicd/coolercast/releases/latest/download/coolercast-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
tar xzf coolercast-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
sudo coolercast/install.sh

Run install.sh again when updating: the udev rule now also covers the CH510 case.

See the README for details.

Notes

  • Tested on an AK400 DIGITAL with an Intel CPU on Windows. Linux is tested in CI (install, service, settings) but not yet with a cooler connected.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt lists the checksums of every file.
