Open-source Thermal Control for Dell G-series

Introduction

Author: Alexander Blk

Thermal Control Center is an open-source alternative to AWCC for Dell G-series. It has a PyQt-based GUI for the WMI Dell thermal control interface.

AWCC - “Alienware Control Center” is an app for thermal control that Dell ships with their G-series notebooks.

Target Platform

OS: Windows 10/11.

Supported models:

• Dell G15: 5511, 5515, 5520, 5525, 5530, 5535
• Dell Alienware m16 R1
• Dell G3 3590 May also work on other Dell G15 / Alienware laptops.

What It Can Do

• ✔️ Switch thermal mode between G-mode, Balanced, and Custom
• ✔️ Show GPU/CPU temperature and fan speed
• ✔️ Semi-manual fan speed control
• ✔️ Option to automatically enable G-mode when GPU/CPU temperature reaches critical
• ✔️ Support for keyboard G-mode hotkey

Why AWCC is BAD

• ❌ AWCC has no in-program option to enable/disable G-mode
• ❌ AWCC manual fan control is broken at this moment
• ❌ AWCC is a bulky, slow, and visually noisy app that can’t even handle basic functions
• ❌ AWCC is spying on you
• ❌ AWCC sometimes randomly crashes and throws crash reports

If this alternative works out for you, you can safely remove from your PC:

• Alieanware CC Components
• Alieanware Command Center Suite
• Alieanware OC Controls

Run from the Source

python3 -m pip install -r ./requirements.txt
