From: Almico Software

SpeedFan monitors voltages, fan speeds, and temperatures in computers with hardware monitor chips. It can even access SMART information for hard disks that support this feature, and show hard-disk temperatures if that's supported. SpeedFan fully supports SCSI disks and can even change the FSB on some hardware (but this should be considered a bonus feature). At the lowest level, SpeedFan is a hardware monitor software that can access temperature sensors, but mainly it can control fan speeds (depending on the capabilities of your sensor chip and your hardware) according to the temperatures inside your PC, thus reducing noise and power consumption.

Version 4.34 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

This software is not novice friendly. However what it does, it does very well. Depending on your motherboard this tool will monitor fan speeds, temperatures and voltages. It is programmable so that if your CPU temp. rises above a predetermined setting it will automatically increase the CPU fan speed to help keep it cool. You can also change voltages and use the software to overclock your system. It really depends on your motherboard how configurable this program is. You can go to speedfan's web site. There you will find a list of motherboards that are configurable with this and even download previous users configurations. I strongly urge you to thoroughly go over the read me files before attempting to configure this software. Even then it was a bit of a learning curve for me to figure out how to best utilize this program to it's best advantage. If you are a computer novice I would recommend not even messing with this as you could do more harm than good.
