Fan speeds, temperatures and supply voltages of teh computer can now be monitored and even managed with this useful tool named SpeedFan.
SpeedFan is a software solution for monitoring fan speeds, temperatures and supply voltages of the computer, if the monitoring functions are present.
The application is able to access S.M.A.R.T.info hard drives to display their temperatures. The software also indicate the temperature of the processor and memory of the graphics card (nVidia only).
It offers the possibility of changing the FSB on some motherboards. SpeedFan is a hardware monitoring software, but its main function is to control the fan speed according to the temperature measured by the probes of the PC, thus reducing noise and power of the overall system power consumption.
Directly from its intuitive interface, the software can also increase the frequency of the processor better.
- greatly improved nVidia video card support
- added full access to hardware monitor chips available on several nVidia video cards (enabled I2C writes to allow fan speed control too)
- improved Intel QST support
- Intel QST now checks first for 2.0, then falls back to 1.0, if needed
- added support for external USB drives using JMicron controllers
- fixed fan speed computation for several Analog Devices chips (ADM1027, ADT7463, ADT7475, ADT7476, ADT7468, ADT7473, ADT7490) when configured for non standard number of pulses per revolution
- MUTEXes used to synchronize with other tools while accessing buses are now defined Global
- fixed CPU usage bars size on the main window
- enabled SMBus access on ICH10 and ICH10R, if needed
- if SpeedFan service is unavailable, a message dialog is shown and the program stops running
- added scan exceptions for Asus P5N-T DELUXE and Intel DX58SO
- SEND REPORT now includes a list of ACPI devices found
