Increasing CPU fan speed with New logitech keyboard?

Greg0986 · 4 May 2011 at 20:20

Hey all,

I have recently bought the Logitech G510 keyboard and the G-keys have been a godsend in many games

What I want to know is, is there any way I can add a macro to a G-key to increase the CPU fan speed by 5% or 10% increments?

Is there any piece of software available to do this?

Cheers

can't you use the "on the fly macro recording"?
I'm thinking of this keyboard, ho is it?

Same, I'm looking into keyboards ATM.

You can have a macro key launch a shortcut to a batch file or script file that your CPU speed monitoring/adjusting program.

For example I use my G keys to launch an Ultramon script that switches my display from monitor to HDTV and sets stuff like resolution and refresh rate.

What you can do is limited by the program you use to change the speed and whether it can be used this sort if way.

I don't think the G keys themselves can send such hardware instructions.

Oh well

I guess I have to do it the old way

And to answer the the other questions, I am very much liking the keyboard atm! Even though it isn't a mechanical one, it is very nice to type on

Also, my favourite feature is the backlit keys, Very nice and I have them set to pink

That's pretty damn clever. Impressed!
