SpeedFan monitors fan speeds, temperatures and voltages in computers with hardware monitor chips. It can even access S.M.A.R.T. info for those hard disks that support this feature and show hard disk temperatures too, if supported. It can even change the FSB on some hardware. At the lowest level, it is a hardware monitor software, but its main feature is that it can control fan speeds according to the temperatures inside your pc, thus reducing noise and power consumption.
- DELL support can now change fan speeds of a wider range of systems
- Nvidia video card support should now be able to access the I2C with latest driver revisions
- Added support for Intel Patsburg SMBus

it is possible that running at 100% could decrease your fan's lifetime..... It was most likely your fault for not checking it occasionally and allowing it to run 100%... It only provides options for you to use and is not responsible for peoples' stupidity

seriously this program did not blow up your computer! faulty fan did and a improper setting in your bios should have set the pc to power off after it reaches a certain temp... just to funny

Destroyed a fan in one of my computers because the speed was set to 100% after installation (not by me - the program). It resulted in that the NB became overheated and died when the fan stopped working. This is a BS program that should become forbidden !
