Software designer Cal Bryant created a PC cooling app for his liquid-cooled Ryzen 9 5950X PC from scratch using Python. With his app, he was able to fine-tune his Kraken X53's pump and fan speed and run both a lot more efficiently, making the cooler run significantly quieter compared to running the fan controls through the motherboard BIOS/UEFI.
The origins of Bryant's home-brewed Python cooling app started when he upgraded his personal system from a Ryzen 7 3700X to the much more potent Ryzen 9 5950X. According to Bryant, the extra cores nearly doubled the heat output of his system, forcing his NZXT Kraken X53 240mm AIO liquid cooler to work much harder. Consequently, the CPU swap also made his cooler much louder to deal with the extra heat output. On top of this, the fans were also spinning up and down erratically, due to Zen 3's notoriously spiky thermal output.
