If you need a tool that can change your computer's fan speeds, read the
temperatures of your motherboard and your hard disk, read voltages and
fan speeds and check the status of your hard disk using S.M.A.R.T. or
SCSI attributes, then you came to the right place. SpeedFan is the
software to go. It is fully configurable and you can create custom
events to handle every situation in an automated way. SpeedFan works
under Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, 2003, XP and Vista. SpeedFan works fine
on Vista 64 bit too. The relevant driver is now signed with my digital
certificate. And this all costs you absolutely nothing!

SpeedFan allows you to have a deeper view of the status of your
computer. Almost every computer includes support for hardware
monitoring. Accessing digital temperature sensors is really useful. If
you are trying to figure out why your pc hangs when under heavy load or
after some hours of usage, SpeedFan might help you to find the real
cause. Very often it is a poor power supply, or an improperly installed
heatsink that lead to behaviours that we tend to associate with errors
from the operating system, but that are not.
SpeedFan automatically searches your computer for interesting chips:
the hardware monitor chips. SpeedFan can expose voltages, fan speeds
and temperatures. On rare occasions, the BIOS doesn't activate such
features. SpeedFan tries to enable them as long as this is a safe thing
to do. Not only the motherboard is searched, but also some video cards
and almost every recent hard disk. SpeedFan can access status info from
EIDE, SATA and even SCSI drives, showing, in a consistent way, internal
data that can be used to diagnose current and future hard disk
failures. This is known as S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and
Reporting Technology). At the lowest level, SpeedFan is a hardware
monitor software that can access digital temperature sensors, but its
main feature is that it can control fan speeds according to the
temperatures inside your pc, thus reducing noise.
Disclaimer
SpeedFan is an extremely powerful tool. It can
help you a lot to find the reasons for an unpredictable reboot or for a
failing hard disk. It can tell you whether you are likely to experience
temperature related issues and can help you to greatly reduce the noise
at work or while watching a movie. But this great power requires access
to a lot of resources on your motherboard and it might be that your
hardware does not like such kind of access. SpeedFan is used worldwide
since 2000 and there are so many happy users out there, but you should
always remember that no program can be perfect and that I can't be held
responsible if SpeedFan causes any damage to your system.
