good free software to control case fans?

My motherboard's own fan utility is awful and resets the curves after every reboot. Fans either sit silent or scream during games. What do people use to set proper fan curves in windows?

Fan Control. Free, open source, works with basically every board and GPU, and it does the two things the motherboard apps get wrong: curves based on GPU temp for case fans, and hysteresis so they don't surge every time a core spikes. Set it to start with Windows and uninstall whatever Armoury Crate or MSI Center you have fighting it. SpeedFan is dead, don't bother.
