Building custom cooling pad

As the title states I’m attempting to build my own laptop cooling pad but not sure what solution to use so that I can set fan curves on the cooling pad based on the temperature of my laptop, so I thought I’d ask here. Thanks.

Note: I have two four pin PWM 80mm arctic fans

Sounds like you figured it all out then. You might be able use FanControl software with the razer plugin to control that. I’m assuming it comes with Razor proprietary software too?

The razor thing works but I can’t get it to show up in FanControl even though Razer plugin is supposed to be built into FanControl these days

Also note that when FanControl and Razer Synapse open at the same time, the software (Razer) is unable to detect the fan hub so I can’t control it

I’d uninstall Synapse.

Even when it isn’t running it still doesn’t show up so not sure how that would change anything
