Version History

• Fan control support for Intel Arc graphics cards for models A310, A380, A580, A750, A770.
• Fixed a bug which would prevent activating GPU temperatures as fan control source after a Windows resume in some cases.
• Fixed a bug with Disk I/O display values.
• New temperature source for fan controllers: 'CPU Cores mean' added.
• Add Disk I/O to Gadget display.
• Double-click on Gadget now shows Argus Monitor main window (if minimized).
• Several minor improvements and bug fixes.

• Support for Intel Arc graphics cards (read-only) for models A310, A380, A580, A750, A770.
  Currently Argus Monitor will only read the GPU data, fan control for these GPU will be available in the next release.
• Support for additional RGB devices added.
  • Asus GPUs (GTX1000 und RTX2000er series)
  • Several Gigabyte motherboards (e.g. Gigabyte AORUS series)
  • MSI GPUs of GTX 1000, RTX 2000, RTX 3000 und RTX 4000 series
• Support for Aqua Computer Quadro AIOs added.
• Several minor improvements and bug fixes.

• An improved concept for managing the fan control characteristic curves has been introduced:
  • There is now a characteristic curve manager that manages all characteristic curves. All controllers of the GPU, mainboard and other fan controllers are operated from this.
  • A characteristic curve can now be assigned to different controllers very easily with a click of the mouse.
  • A change to a characteristic curve that is assigned to several controllers immediately affects all these controllers.
• Fixed a bug that caused the Argus Monitor tray icon display to be invisible if Windows Explorer was crashed or restarted.
• Support for controlling fan speeds on Lian Li fan controllers. Supported fan hub models are:
  • Lian Li-UNI AL
  • Lian Li-UNI AL v2
  • Lian Li-UNI SL
  • Lian Li-UNI SL v2
  • Lian Li-UNI SL-Infinity
  Currently there no RGB support for those models yet and for technical reasons, the Lian Li software and services cannot be run at the same time.
• Several minor improvements and bug fixes.

• Due to high user demand and discoverability, the RGB tab moved from System tab one level higher to show up now as a new main tab.
  To achieve this, the former CPU temperature main tab had to be grouped together with CPU Speed, Multiplier and Power, these 4 assemble now in the CPU main tab.
• Fixed a bug which would in some user configurations result in mainboard temperature and fan speed 'Ghost' values for Argus Monitor Gadget and CSV log file.
• Added a button in settings to reset the screen position for Argus Monitor Gadget.
  In some rare cases with changing multiple monitor configurations, this will allow to bring back a 'missing' gadget to the desktop.
• Support for more RGB devices added
  • Corsair Hydro AIOs (Platinum / Pro XT / iCUE Elite RGB )
  • Glorious Mice (Model O / Model D)
• Several minor improvements and bug fixes.

  Starting from this version, Argus Monitor supports basic RGB control.
  RGB support is available for the following hardware:
  
  • Corsair Commander Pro, Corsair Lighting Node (Core and Pro) and compatible devices
  • Corsair Commander Core (except Core XT)
  • Corsair H80i PRO RGB, Corsair H100i PRO RGB, Corsair H110i PRO RGB, Corsair H115i PRO RGB, Corsair H150i PRO RGB
  • ASUS Nvidia GPUs (3000/4000 series)
  • EVGA Geforce 3000 series GPUs
  • NZXT Kraken X2 devices (Kraken X52, X62, X72)
  We plan on extending support to more devices. If you own a device that has RGB functionality and can help us to add support for it by running some beta version of Argus Monitor, please feel free to contact us.
• Graph colors are now fully configurable.

• Improved support for mainboards from the manufacturers Asus, Asrock, MSI and Gigabyte.

• Several minor improvements and bug fixes.

• In the past few years, we have often received reports that the Argus Monitor icons in the notification area of the taskbar (system tray) could not be sorted or moved correctly in the order under Windows 10 and 11.
  In addition, their position in the system tray was not retained for the next startup.
  This was due to the visual framework we used, which caused the problems with the icons.
  With version 6.2.05, we have therefore completely reworked the code for the icons in the taskbar notification area to allow better sorting and storage of their position.

• Manual scaling of the program window:
  In the past years we received from time to time requests if Argus Monitor could not be displayed enlarged or if the automatic scaling of Argus Monitor by Windows could not be switched off for systems with multiple monitors and different scaling factors.
  With version 6.2.01 we have therefore introduced the option of manual scaling of the Argus Monitor program window, to be found under Settings/Display.
  
  • In automatic mode, Argus Monitor scales its size according to the Windows scaling factor (adjustable in Windows Settings), as before.
  • In the new manual mode you can adjust the size of Argus Monitor in different steps and thus override the automatic scaling of the program window by Windows.
  This feature is currently still in BETA status as not all variants of possible Windows scaling factors and of possible setups for systems with multiple monitors could be tested yet.
