SpeedFan is a program that monitors voltages, fan speeds and temperatures in computers with hardware monitor chips. It can even access S.M.A.R.T. info and show hard disk temperatures and supports SCSI disks too. SpeedFan can even change the FSB on some hardware (but this should be considered a bonus feature). It 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. It is suggested 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.
Consider that when the WARNING temperature is reached, the program sets the fan speed to 100, whatever maximum speed you selected.
