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.
There are a lot of improvements and fixes in SpeedFan 4.29 Final. Added
support for Intel ICH8, nVidia MCP04, new revisions of the ITE IT8712F, new
revisions of the Winbond W83627, and detection for additional chips. Added full
built-in SEND MAIL support in event handling (including SSL and
POP3-BEFORE-SMTP). Added full support for the internal temperature sensor from
K8 chips (Sempron, Athlon 64 and Opterons). Fan control now uses a different
approach that should greatly reduce fan fluctuations. And much more.
