SpeedFan

Freeware hardware monitoring and fan control for Windows PCs

Visit SpeedFan

SpeedFan is a freeware utility for Windows PCs that reads hardware monitoring chips to display temperatures, voltages and fan speeds, and provides fan control to reduce noise when full cooling is not required. It is intended to help users investigate issues such as hangs under heavy load or after extended use, which may stem from hardware rather than the operating system.

The tool automatically searches the motherboard, some video cards and recent hard disks for monitoring chips. It exposes readings from digital temperature sensors and can access status information from EIDE, SATA and SCSI drives, presenting S.M.A.R.T. data in a consistent way to help diagnose current and potential hard disk failures. It is aimed at users of home theater PCs, small form factor systems, noisy computers and overclocked setups, as well as those who want to inspect their computer's status. The software is distributed as freeware.
