News SpeedFan 4.39

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

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.
