I installed the Flow Control v2.0.7 which seems to work correctly but the fan curve would only work when it is running, apparently it doesn't get saved to the block.
I also run linux an ddo a lot of compilations on it, whenever i'm running linux, the fan curve doesn't take effect and the fans run at a really low rpm even when the cpu temps are high.
Is there a way around it?
 
EDIT:
Forgot to mention I'm running an overclocked R7 1700x if that matters in any way.
Also is there any way of removing the 60 degree lock on flow control that is really annoying.

    About the only thing you can do is run the fans off the mb header and set the curve in bios, if available. I ran into this with debian and tried everything including wine with no luck.

    I just posted a similar problem, only with Windows 10. EVGA markets their coolers as being able to save fan speed settings and RGB settings in the unit's firmware, which definitely implies that the Flow Control software does *not* need to be running for your fan curves/rgb settings to work.
     
    This was the specific reason I bought this cooler.. the ability to have zero software running in order for the fan curves to work as set and then saved to firmware.
     
    Along with you, I anxiously await a response to our question regarding this feature.

    I ended up going with a Kraken because of reading similar posts to this one, and reaching out to EVGA: in their words, without Flow Control, "the pump speed will idle between 2800 to 2900 RPM and the fan speeds stay between 1200 to 1300 RPM".
     
    Still, I would like to help get the EVGA CLCs to work (properly) on Linux.  @floorpizza, can you work with me on this, since you have the device?
     
    Update: liquidctl now includes support for the CLC 120 (CL12), 240 and 280 (as of release candidate v1.2.0rc1).
