programme fans when game starts

Hi all, not sure if this is in the right place.
Basically got a bitfenix fan controller with the phoebetria fan controller software.
Sometimes i forget to ramp my fans up when gaming and doh pc crashes ;( not good.
Is there a way of doing a bit of coding or is there any software out there that detects when a game is launched and turns the fans up?

thanks

PWM fans + speedfan (or similar software) is what you're after.

If you have a fan controller and software, they should be temperature controlled.

Hey thanks for replies, i have a watercooled system so do you think i can attach a stick on sensor ontop of cpu block? Will that give me a half decent reading to then use the phoebetria software?

Why do you need an extra sensor? The CPU has a built-in thermal sensor, which I would hope the software can monitor. If it can't then I would look elsewhere for a competent fan controller.
