This is all just for fun, so I did consider it a good learning experience. I decided to just revert back to BIOS controls, but now I know how I would control my fans in the future if I ever wanted to.
Hell yeah, BIOS controls for day to day business and fancontrol settings for when you're trying to impress a date.
look babe, it's a unique 8 point curve for each fan, isn't that beautiful! do you hear it too?
Yeah, a date that can appreciate the finer points of fan control is a real keeper. Most are just bowled over by the raw power.
I was going to use fancontrol too, but then I read the advice it gave (yes I am one of those weirdos that reads all the text the programs write to the terminal), then looked into my BIOS settings.
It had what I required (a GUI to create a temp vs fan-speed curve), so I went with it. And now I don't have to worry about copying my configs in case of a new installation, or about removing that particular config in case I boot the HDD in another system.
