🔖 Modes

Modes save the currently applied settings for all your devices, so you can switch entire setups with one click. Note: Modes do not save internal Profile or Function settings. In this tutorial we’ll create two fan Profiles (Silent and Gaming) and then create Modes that apply those profiles.

Note: CoolerControl is currently in the process of restructuring how Modes work to eliminate the need for different Profiles per Mode. This section will be updated to reflect the new structure.

Open CoolerControl

You can open up the coolercontrol desktop application or use the Web UI.

1. Create a new Profile

2. Name the Profile

Give the new profile a descriptive name, e.g., "Silent Fan Profile".

3. Select the Profile Type

For this tutorial, use Fixed for simplicity.

4. Set a low speed for "Silent" mode

5. Click Save

6. Create a second Profile

7. Name this profile "Gaming Fan Profile"

8. Select the Profile Type

For this tutorial, use Fixed again for simplicity.

9. Set a high fan speed for gaming

10. Click Save

11. Select the fan to control

12. Open the Profile dropdown

13. Select the "Silent Fan Profile"

14. Click Apply to set the Silent speed

15. Create a Mode from these settings

This saves the settings you’ve applied to your fans (e.g., which profile is applied to which fan).

16. Name the Mode

Use a descriptive name, e.g., "Silent Mode" (since it uses the Silent fan profile).

17. Change your fan settings again

18. Open the Profile dropdown

19. Select the "Gaming Fan Profile"

20. Click Apply to save the new fan settings

21. Create a second Mode

22. Name the Mode

For example, "Gaming Mode" (since it uses the gaming fan profile).

23. Use Modes to switch quickly

Use the Modes quick menu or system tray to swap all applied settings on the fly. You can update a Mode later from the currently applied settings at any time.
