SpeedFan 4.39

  • 3,406
  • 1
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.
Supports 9x, ME, NT, 2000, 2003 - 32 and 64 bit XP, Vista and Windows 7

Changes in 4.39
- added full support for Fintek F71889F, even at unusual addresses
- added support for a new method to access SMART data
- added support for SCSI and SAT hard disk SMART access
- added full support for SuperMicro PWS-865-PQ PSU
- added full support for Winbond W83795G
- added full support for SMSC EMC1402
- added SHORT and EXTENDED OFF-LINE SMART TEST in SMART tab. This feature works on a number of supported interfaces and not on all of them
- added voltage readings for Winbond W83793G
- properly read Tjmax on Core i7 based Xeons
- relabeled IT8512F to IT8512E
- the tray hint is no longer updated if ShowStaticIcon is true
- the tray icon tooltip layout is now vertical
- added Fintek F72569DG detection

Now I know on most modern motherboards you can adjust fan speeds in the Bios but most are just a choice of setting (An example of this is some Asus boards just have a choice of performance, optimal or silent) whereas SpeedFan can be set to exact temperatures to speed up or slow down the fans.

You can also choose which fans speed up or slow down at different temperatures. SpeedFan can also speed up or slow down fans based on hard drive or video card temps which is unlike most Bios fan setting which normally just have choices for ambient temp and CPU.

MSN Video Player launches in the UK

  • 3,892

I was delayed posting this as I have been watching Big Train on it most of the day, but this has to be the most exciting event in MSN video since the Arrested Developement MSN site appeared:

MSN Video Player is now available as a free online beta to those in the UK. MSN Video Player is available exclusively in the UK and offers over 300 hours of free content from both BBC worldwide and producer All3Media, responsible for shows like peep show and shameless. Microsoft is running a 6 month trial of the player during which time Ashley Highfield, Microsoft's managing director and vice president of consumer and online, claims that the company has sold out of its advertising space to fund the MSN Video Player.

The idea behind the video player is not to compete with the BBC's iPlayer or Channel 4's OD but to complement the services and offering backdated programming. In an interview with the BBC Microsoft's Highfield claims "we cover everything from a few months ago to a few years ago. This is bringing all the programs together in one place. It's going to be a one stop shop for recent and older classic British television."

I am really excited about the potential of this as I have been hoping that some of my favourite older shows would appear on line. BBC iPlayer is great for watching new TV shows I might have missed, but I can't even find some of the older stuff on Facebook anymore. If you can get the last few season of 'Nevermind the Buzzcocks' on there I will love you forever!
