SpeedFan 4.34

Publisher's description of SpeedFan

view larger

SpeedFan monitors voltages, fan speeds, and temperatures in computers with hardware monitor chips. It can even access SMART information for hard disks that support this feature, and show hard-disk temperatures if that's supported. SpeedFan fully supports SCSI disks and can even change the FSB on some hardware (but this should be considered a bonus feature). At the lowest level, SpeedFan is a hardware monitor software that can access temperature sensors, but mainly it can control fan speeds (depending on the capabilities of your sensor chip and your hardware) according to the temperatures inside your PC, thus reducing noise and power consumption.

Version 4.34 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

  Very good program...

  by: Kevy_MT on 04-May-2008 07:44:15 PM

  Pros: SpeedFan is a very good program, useful in helping to keep your system at more normal temperatures. It can slow down your cooling fans to help reduce noise. SpeedFan is a very small application that puts very little drain on your system performance resources. New version has improved GUI, and a few more capabilities.

  Cons: SpeedFan is getting better, but it still has some limitations... your system cooling fan may not have the ability to be slowed down. SpeedFan is working on getting more motherboard setting files, but it takes time.

  Pros: Speedfan downloads easily, provides online diagnostic info about your hard drives, and runs quietly in the background. No glitches. Told me what I needed to know to prevent future hard drive failures due to heat.

  Cons: There is nothing that I don't like about it.
