SpeedFan 4.08

SpeedFan is a freeware program that monitors fan speeds, temperatures and voltages in computers with hardware monitoring chips. SpeedFan can even access S.M.A.R.T. info for those hards disks that support this feature (almost all :)) and show hard disk temperatures too, if supported. At the lowest level, SpeedFan is an hardware monitoring software, but its main feature is that it can control the speed of the fans (depending on your sensor chip) according to the temperatures inside your pc, thus reducing noise and power consumption. Most Winbond sensors and ASUS AS99127F support fan speed changing, as well as others from MYSON, ANALOG DEVICES, NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTORS and ITE, but the motherboard should make use of available pins. This means that if you have, say, a W83782D on a BP6 then you're ok. If you have a W83782D on some GigaByte's... you're not :)

SpeedFan can be minimized to the tray and is compatible with Motherboard Monitor 5.

It is unfortunately rather common for speed control not to be implemented - I suppose it avoids mistakes - or, an awful thought - a virus that can cook the CPU by turning the fan off ???

It's still a good monitoring program even without that capability available.


I just looked - and MBM's website is back after some abscence

You can also have MBM's information in a screensaver ??
Not tried this one myself...

I use MBM, but would have deserted it for Speedfan if my fan control worked!
