Monitor Speed, Temperature & Voltage of Internal Cooling-Fan, CPU And Other Hardware Components With SpeedFan

SpeedFan is a very useful application for monitoring performance of hardware parts of a computer from Windows. Within minutes, this software can collect and display information about the cooling fan, processor temperature/voltage, hard drive speed and many other components. Using SpeedFan requires a little bit technical knowledge about hardware, otherwise there is no way to correctly interpret the information displayed. That means, you can still use it but you will not be able to figure out what it says or even what it does. But its interface is very user friendly and hopefully you can get some very basic info like Fan Speed, CPU Temperature etc. without that much knowledge. However you shouldn’t (or mustn’t) use the options for configuring the motherboard clock speed (for overclocking) if you do not have perfect knowledge about it or your are completely sure of what you are doing, otherwise your CPU may just burn up, for example. Finally, SpeedFan creates charts to help you to monitor the effectiveness of changes, allowing you to choose the best settings easily. In addition of monitoring Fan Speed and Voltage of the computer, SpeedFan is also capable of measuring the temperature of the machine and let you control cooling fan for optimum temperature. Using SpeedFan, you can save lot’s of energy and create a Echo-Friendly power saving PC as well as reduce CPU noise while running. More to read.
