How to create Modes for switching settings
Modes save the currently applied settings for all your devices. This allows you to change all your device settings at once. Modes do not however save internal Profile or Function settings, so we will create two separate fan Profiles, one for silent mode and one for gaming mode.
Open CoolerControl
You can open up the coolercontrol desktop application or use the Web UI.
1. Create a new Profile
2. Let's give the new Profile a descriptive name like "Silent Fan Profile"
3. Select the Profile Type
For this tutorial we're going to use Fixed for simplicity.
4. We'll set a low speed for "Silent" Mode
5. Click the Save button to save our changes
6. Create a second Profile
7. Let's give this Profile a descriptive name like "Gaming Fan Profile"
8. Select the Profile Type
For this tutorial we're going to use Fixed again for simplicity.
9. We'll give it a high fan speed for maximum cooling while gaming
10. Click on the Save button to save our Profile changes
11. Now click on the fan we want to control
12. Click on the Profile dropdown menu
13. First we will select the Silent Fan Profile
14. Click on Apply to set our "Silent" fan speed
15. We then create a new Mode based on these fan settings
Creating a new Mode will save the settings you've applied to your fans, such as which Profile is applied to which fan.
16. Let's give this Mode a descriptive name: "Silent Mode" because we're using our silent fan Profile
17. Now let's change our fan settings again
18. Click on the Profile dropdown menu
19. Select our "Gaming Fan Profile"
20. Click on Apply to save our new fan settings
21. Now let's create our second Mode
22. Let's give it a description name like "Gaming Mode", since we're using our gaming fan Profile
23. Now you can use the Modes quick menu or the system tray menu to swap all of your applied settings on the fly
You can also adjust your Modes by updating them with the currently applied settings at any time.
