Programmatically adjust fan curve?

So I have an ARC, which doesn't have a detectable temp. I actually have the fan on it hooked up to my motherboard due to how loud it sounds when idle. The card is secondary and only used for handbrake encoding.

I've been wondering if there's a way I can programmatically trigger the fan to speed up when the app is running and throttle back when it's not.

Is there a way to set curves from the command line?

You can change "config" from the command line.

FanControl.exe -c configName.Json

FanControl.exe -c configName.Json

thanks, i did notice this option. so even if the app is already running in the tray, running it again won't cause any issues? it'll just run the same instance of the app and only change the config?

To be technical, it will spawn a new instance (process), but that new process will not launch FanControl as usual, it will communicate with the other existing process, tell it to change config, then the new process will shutdown, giving the wanted effect.
