CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This free program offers some useful system details to those savvy enough to understand its results. SpeedFan's tabbed interface isn't hard to navigate, but most users won't be able to make head or tail of the data this utility provides. The program's system-tray icon tells you the temperature of your PC's hard drive, and you can receive information on voltage and fan speeds.
The utility can display SMART data and includes a tool for resetting motherboard clocks. Basically, if this review makes no sense to you, SpeedFan is above your head and won't be worth downloading. However, PC technicians and those who like to do their own system maintenance might as well take a look at this application, particularly since it costs nothing.
Publisher's description
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 4.24 adds µGuru support, a new Get Config facility, new translations, improved support for known hardware, and several minor fixes and enhancements.

Version: SpeedFan 4.24
"Good program if you know what your doing"
Pros: If your a nerd who likes to know temperature at what your computer is running then this program is for you
Cons: Even if your on a faster computer this program likes to use alot of CPU resouces on startup and likes to freeze up.
I dont recommend you put it in your startup folder,just run it manually when you see fit

Version: SpeedFan 4.24
Pros: I'm getting a new graphics card and wanted to see if my tiny 300w power supply would work. This helped me because of it's voltage readouts.It's not just for nerds but people who need to know valuable info about there system when installing new hardware(like cooling systems)and it's free!Thanks.
Cons: None.Except maybe the danger factor.

Version: SpeedFan 4.24
Pros: SpeedFan is a nice program that has many features related to temperature sensing, tweaking, warning, et cetera. It can give some system information concerning heat dissipation. It can even generate a temp chart and support hard drive monitoring (S.M.A.R.T.).
Cons: It does not support every system. For example, for my computer, SpeedFan only shows temperture but not fan speed, voltage, etc. Also, its FAQ and support is not useful to someone new to the software.
