CoolerMaster's MasterPlus Software to Go Open Source! +====== + +MasterPlus to get a complete overhaul and an open-source version? Sounds good! + +![Wow! CoolerMaster's MasterPlus Software to Go Open Source!][1] + +Most gaming/peripheral software suits are either proprietary or not officially available for Linux. + +As a result, we must constantly look for open-source tools to configure our hardware to get native functionality. + +The likes of [Piper][2], [OpenRGB][3], [Solaar][4], etc. come in handy in these situations. + +But, sometimes, even these are not enough. + +Luckily, [CoolerMaster][5] has decided to release an open-source version of its [MasterPlus][6] software that aims to work with its coolers and non-CoolerMaster coolers. + +**While this does not guarantee its availability for Linux systems, we can definitely hope for it.** + +This move should also encourage other companies like Razer and Logitech to consider making open-source tools that do away with bloat found in them. + +Let's see what CoolerMaster plans to do. + +### MasterPlus Open-Source Version: What We Know So Far + +![coolermaster masterplus revamp][7] + +**CoolerMaster revealed their plans to release a new MasterPlus open-source version** in the recent [CES 2023][8] event. Kudos to **Albert** from [Boring Text Reviews][9] for bringing this to our attention. + +**What to expect?:** A complete redesign of the MasterPlus software, with an API plug-in system that allows non-CoolerMaster coolers to integrate with it. + +They have clarified that exclusive CoolerMaster features won't work with other coolers. So, things such as detecting a leak in an AIO cooler or calculating the PSU's efficiency can't be tracked for third-party products. + +Instead, the application will only support reading basic performance info such as temperature and fan speed with the ability to configure ARGB devices. + +If you ask me, **this is better than nothing.** And, if you happen to use CoolerMaster components for your system, it is an exciting news for you! + +CoolerMaster also showcased a potential application of the API system by letting it hook into a photo application and using it to control a secondary display integrated into a computer case's side. + +Furthermore, they also introduced full cloud integration for their software. But sadly, this will not be made open-source. + +**When to expect?:** + +We do not have a concrete release date for the open sourcing of MasterPlus. + +But, if I were to guess, sometime in 2023 would be the best bet. + +💬 _Even if the tool is not confirmed to work for Linux users, on open-source tool is a good start, isn't it? What do you think?_ + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/coolermaster-open-source-software/ + +作者：[Sourav Rudra][a] +选题：[lkxed][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/sourav/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed +[1]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/size/w2000/2023/01/coolermaster-masterplus-goes-opensource.png +[2]: https://github.com/libratbag/piper +[3]: https://openrgb.org +[4]: https://github.com/pwr-Solaar/Solaar +[5]: https://www.coolermaster.com +[6]: https://masterplus.coolermaster.com +[7]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/01/CoolerMaster_MasterPlus_Revamp-1.png +[8]: https://www.ces.tech +[9]: https://boringtextreviews.com/exclusive-say-goodbye-to-bloated-closed-source-software-coolermaster-to-release-new-open-source-version-of-its-software-with-api-integration-and-it-can-work-with-other-coolers-too
