Control case fans by GPU hotspot temperature

[RainingTacco]

I've tried Argus monitor but they don't have fan control by gpu hotspot temps. I would like a hardware solution like good motherboard or fan hub/controller, but if it's impossible to find, a software solution will do too.

Old school fan controllers used to do this....

Just a random search to see if I was thinking right, and I found this..... https://www.amazon.com/Coolerguys-Thermal-Fan-Controller-Rev/dp/B0085EHCDQ

May not be the ideal solution. Maybe the iCUE controllers do this, TBH, I never looked when I had one.

I saw some hardware solutions like NZXT grid, wonder if they support gpu hotspot temperature.
As for software there's SpeedFan or Argus Monitor but no hotspot temperature. Seems i will go nvidia next time, since their gpu temperature reading are not divided. In my case GPU edge temperature is not a good indicator of how hot the gpu is.

I thought about something like hardware fan controller with external power plugged into gpu fan socket. Why with external power? Well because one gpu fan socket won't support let say six fans. So you plug the fan controller into gpu fan socket, plug the rest of fans in other slots, and then order those fans to mimic the pwm curve of the gpu fan socket. It shouldn't be that hard i guess? Corsair commander pro has this?

Argus Monitor can use GPU hotspot to control the fan curve. Go to settings > Miscellaneous > check the box for "use highest gpu temperature". It will now match the AMD junction temp (hotspot).
