Monitoring our system specifics ensures smooth functionality of our computer. The specifics mentioned include system temperatures and fan speeds. While there are a lot of freeware out there which enable the user to monitor these things, they only monitor one of the two mentioned specifics. Even then, if some of them are processor temperature monitors, they only support either Intel or AMD processors.
Today however, we found an amazing utility that not only monitors your fan speeds and processor temperatures (regardless of its company), but it also monitors other system temperatures.
This utility is SpeedFan.
SpeedFan’s setup file is only ~2 MB large and here’s how it looks when running:
Your fans in the CPU usually run at their own pace are independent of the system temperature. So the fans will be running fast (and creating bothersome noise) sometimes unnecessarily. By reducing the fan speed in accordance with the system temperature, SpeedFan reduces the power intake as well as the noise generated by your system fans.
For hard disks that support this feature, SpeedFan can even access S.M.A.R.T. info and show hard disk temperatures.
With a simple interface for novices, and a wide array of options for professionals, SpeedFan is the best system monitoring utility any computer user needs.
