SpeedFan 4.5

SpeedFan is a program that monitors voltages, fan speeds and temperatures in computers with hardware monitor chips. SpeedFan can even access S.M.A.R.T. info and show hard disk temperatures. SpeedFan supports SCSI disks too. SpeedFan can even change the FSB on some hardware (but this should be considered a bonus feature). SpeedFan can access digital temperature sensors and can change fan speeds accordingly, thus reducing noise. SpeedFan works fine with Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, 2003, XP, Vista, Windows 7, 2008, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows Server 2012. It works with Windows 64 bit too.

SpeedFan monitor temperatures from several sources. By properly configuring SpeedFan, you can let it change fan speeds based on system temperatures. When choosing parameters for the minimum and maximum fan speed, try to set them by hand (disable all the VARIATE FANs checkboxes) and listen to the noise. When you hear no noise from the fan then you can set that value as the minimum fan speed for that fan. I suggest to use 100 as the maximum value, unless you hear a lot of noise from it, in which case you might reduce the maximum speed to 95 or 90. You can set, say, 60 as the maximum value and, sometimes, I myself set it that way. Consider that when the WARNING temperature is reached, the program sets the fan speed to 100, whatever maximum speed you selected. One last word should be said regarding the USE FAN x listbox. In my pc, more than one temperature changes when a fan runs faster. You can configure on which fan every temperature should rely. On my system, TEMP1 and TEMP3 are both influenced by FAN1.

SpeedFan 4.52 beta 2 is online!
 
This beta has been compiled with Delphi XE2. The move from the almighty Delphi 7 has been done! The side effect is that support for Windows 9x/Me has been dropped: now the minimum requirement is Windows 2000.
I will appreciate SEND REPORTs from SpeedFan's INFO tab from any system you are using, so that I can validate the ton of changes I had to apply to the source code. Preliminary tests seem to say that everything will work fine on every system :-)
This beta adds and improves support for new hardware and adds full IPMI support! I purchased two different systems and the beta works on them both. Temperature and voltages are reported properly, while fan speeds might need some refinement.
SpeedFan 4.51 Final is online!
 
SpeedFan 4.51 Final is now online! It adds support for a lot of new hardware. This version defaults to no SCSI access if the Intel Storage Driver is found. ITE IT8620E (used on several Gigabyte boards) support has been greatly enhanced (now SpeedFan can control up to 5 fans and report voltages too). PWM4 and PWM5 on ITE IT8620E are now disabled by default (please, read this article). Added full support for Windows 10. Bug fixes and more, as always.
Both the installer and the executable are digitally signed with my company's (SOKNO S.R.L.) certificate. If you download an installer that has not SOKNO's signature, then it is not SpeedFan!
...Enjoy!
