What's new in 9.6.2.1
Important! If you are using tools for the first time, please read the Beginner's guide) and AlienFX-GUI readme to configure its concept and operation principle.
Fan-SDK_V1.zip has binaries built against older fan control versions; use it only in case you know what you're doing (or have Aurora R7). Check the readme file inside the archive first to configure it to work!
Changes in this release:
All fan control tools:
- Safer handling of the power mode name. This should avoid crashes in case of an incorrect power mode reported, as well as make the code smaller.
AlienFX-GUI:
- New：Alienware Aurora R15 profile added to autodetection.
- Better tooltip handling (a bit experimental)—now the tooltip updates its data 3 times per second then visible for 30 seconds.
- Bug fixed：Light mode is stuck and can't be changed at the Colors tab.
- Bug fixed：Zone lights updated the wrong way after the change.
