liquidctl is a cross-platform command-line tool and Python driver library for controlling AIO liquid coolers, fan controllers, LED controllers, power supplies, and other PC hardware from brands like NZXT, Corsair, ASUS, and EVGA. It lets users monitor temperatures and fan speeds and configure fan curves, pump speeds, and RGB lighting from the terminal or scripts.
Use cases
- control nzxt kraken fan speed from linux
- set rgb lighting on corsair ram
- monitor liquid temperature and pump speed
- automate fan curves at boot with systemd
- control asus aura led strips from command line
- read power supply status in scripts
- control aquacomputer devices on macos
When to choose
- you want terminal or scriptable control of PC cooling and RGB hardware
- you need cross-platform support including Linux, macOS, Windows, and BSD
- you want to automate fan/LED settings at boot or via cron/systemd
When to avoid
- you want a polished GUI for fan and RGB control
- your device is not on the supported hardware list
- you need low-level sensor monitoring of arbitrary system components beyond supported devices
