+## WARNING
+
+WingRing0x64, the driver used via [LHM](https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor) started to be flagged by Windows Defender as of March 11th 2025. This will prevent the program from loading all motherboard sensors and will result in an error upon loading. 
+Corresponding [issue](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/issues/3016).
+
+## New

 * I am not the main developer for the driver/backend portion of this software. Fan Control is basically a UI on top of existing hardware libraries. Any issue regarding hardware compatibility entirely depends on the following projects. If you can't contribute meaningfully with a branch/PR, don't pollute their issue page with "XXXXX doesn't work". The hardware is needed for testing. If a dev has interest in that project, is browsing it, has your specific hardware AND the knowledge to make it work, that dev won't be looking for your issue, he'll just raise a PR.

+* Please only open issues on this repository for the software itself, UI, feature request and so on. If it's a "make this work please" hardware support request, I will link this section of the README and close your issue.

 ## FAQ
 * __Q__: What settings should I set in my BIOS to play along nicely with FanControl?
 <br>__A__: You want to avoid any "smart" control from your BIOS. Setting a fixed default speed, like 50%, works great for most people. Also keep an eye if your BIOS has PWM or DC mode on. One could work better for you depending on your setup.
-* __Q__: My Nvidia cards has X fans, but only two cards show up, why?
-<br>__A__: Your card only has 2 channels, more than 1 fan are plugged to the same channel.
-* __Q__: My new AMD card can't be controlled, why?
-<br>__A__: Newer AMD cards are not supported. If you can provide a working sample of code that works with these newer cards, please share!
+* __Q__: My NVIDIA graphics card has 3 fans, but only 2 control cards show up in the UI, why?
+<br>__A__: Your card only has 2 channels, multiple fans are plugged into the same channel.
+* __Q__: My NVIDIA graphics card won't go below 30% and doesn't go to 0 RPM, why?
+<br>__A__: [See here](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/wiki/Nvidia-30%25-and-0-RPM)
 * __Q__: There is no control cards / control cards are missing / control cards are not changing my fan speeds, what's the issue?
 <br>__A__: See __[ Issues and hardware compatibility](#issues-and-hardware-compatibility)__.
 * __Q__: How does __[FAN CURVE TYPE]__ works and what does its parameters do?

-## Fan curve types
-
-* Auto: PI controller-ish type function. % will surf until temp is stable at load. 
-* Linear : Temperature based linear function
-* Graph : Temperature based custom curve
-* Trigger: Temperature based that holds speed until trigger temperatures are reached
-* Mix : Use two different curves and apply a mix function (Min, Max, Sum, Average, Subtract)
-* Sync : Sync to an existing control
-* Flat: Set a fixed %
-
-## Graph fan curve editor
-
-* __(NEW)__ Change the temperature range for finer control over a small range
-* Add, remove and drag points arround the graph
-* Copy and paste points from a graph to another
-* Fine-tune the response with the hysteresis and response time parameters
