This is my very first blog. Sorry for some preliminary, eventual, mistakes. The idea behind this blog is that, while working on SpeedFan, I found several interesting things to talk/chat/blog about. While SpeedFan’s websites (the main one and the support one) need to be very precise, double-checked, politically correct and so on, I feel the need for a website where I can talk in a more relaxed way. I hope you will appreciate and enjoy this approach. Feel free to share your experience.
I using your speedfan program from version 4.23 and I didn´t have problem with him using. Speedfan is very good freeware program. And sorry for my english-langue, because I live in Czech Republic. Jaroslav Hušbauer
Let me start by saying AWSOME speed fan is the shiznit ,like one person said i install speedfan right after drivers …. and its so easy to use ….
ok ill stop rambling now
in fact ( its probly the old board ) but the only problem i ever had is on a SOYO K7vta-pro , temps show but no controll over the fan speeds….. And is there anyway to direct me to a tut on finding PLL # and where the are located on ones mobo …… thx a bunch for a great program dont know what id do with out it
Hello,
I trying to make Speedfan 4.31 work together with my application. What about you make a reduced version of original SpeedFan with only bus scanning, temp and fan speed reading? How much would it cost?
Thank you Alfredo.
Everything is working very well.
Good software, very usefull.

Hello Alfredo,
Thanks for Speed Fan, I use it already more than one year, it is useful and fine tool.
My current motherboard is Asus M2N32-SLI DL/WE with the AMD Cpu Athlon 64 X2 4600+ with XP as OS, the system work fine with Speed Fan.
Continue with the development of Speed Fan, please.

Hello Alfredo
Just tried your SpeedFan and was impressed enough to fire off a fiver for you.
My PC health in CMOS claimed that the CPU was running at 465 degrees Fahrenheit. I knew that had to be wrong or my cpu would be toast.
Your little program gives me what I need and I’ m looking forward to your 64 bit version.
Thanx

Hi Alfredo,
I have a mac book pro with the intel core duo processor, I installed the windows xp pro sp2 into my laptop. because of the overheating problem, I found your software which can control the fan speed of the machine; however, the fanspeed can only detect the hard drive of my laptop. I have no idea how to find the fan speed of my laptop. do you have any suggestions in my case?
Best
Chris
Hi Alfredo
I find that Speedfan cannot see my SATA drive if it is connected via a “Promise SATA300 TX2″ card. Speedfan detects it correctly (and can see all the SMART parameters) when this same drive is connected to the SATA connector on my motherboard.
Is there any chance that Speedfan can support the Promise SATA300 TX2 controller card?
Note that Promise have a tool that can monitor the SMART status of the drive – but this is not as good or as useful as Speedfan
.
Please let me know if there is anything I should try to get this working.
Regards, Nigel
Hey Alfredo !!
What a good idea, in fact I think that is good to show up that speedfan is more human than the people could expect. ^^
Best regards and long life !

Hi, I have KN9 SLI, and I dont have the voltages.
May I please for them in in 4.32?
I dont like ABITEQ ;]
I’m in the same position as Chris: MBP C2D with overheating issues under XP/Bootcamp. Having fan control is fairly essential for anything more than light computing – running steam games just causes a hard reboot after a few minutes.
saw your product in the pcworld article Jan07 edition, just wondering if the os Ubuntu 6.10 Linux is supported on a Thinkpad T60 all Intel? thanks
hi, good boy. I’m using speedfan 4.31, i think it is the best, usefull utilites for my PC system( gigabyte m55plus mainboard AMD X2 AM2 3800+, I have two fans, one cpu fan, one system fan.
but, can i give some sugest to you? I think the fans control logic by TEMPERATURES should be improve, i means can you add the function that made fan’s speed adjust linear with TEMPERATURES range, example: i configure fans speed 20%~80% when temperature 20C~42C.
whatever, i had thanks for your work, i like SpeedFan.
I have an Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe and have never been able to see fan speeds in any versions of speedfan under XP or Vista 32. I have a friend with the exact same hardware and the same results. Am I missing something? Is this a sensor problem or does aomseone have a solution?
btw, I love this proggie…
Hello I have problem with tv-out of my laptop ASUS A4B00L, the video card is a SIS M661MX, I don’t know if there is a problem with the original drivers… please I need help(drivers or tuturials).
I’m from Argentina, sorry my english.
When do you suppose you might have time to work some on new sensor chips?
Hola Alfredo,
tengo una placa SY-5EHM es compatible el programa con esta placa?
Gracias y un saludo.
Hi. As others have said, I am appreciative of your very fine work on what I consider to be the best fan monitoring software available today. MBM in it’s day was also a very fine product, but I think yours is a bit more intuitive. Regardless, you have coded a fine piece, that I have never once had an issue with at all. I have had a few machines that were older that did not give much info, but have never had an error.
That is saying a lot to you and your coding. Thank you.
Now I have a question. For those of us that want to learn how to work with SMBus, do you have any code samples that could be released?
And finally, I have emailed this to you, but thought I might as well post here as well. What would be useful for me would be the ability to have 3 instead of 1 trigger for the fan to speed up. Say trigger 1 could be 40c, and fan could go up to X %. Trigger 2 could be at 48c, with fan going to Y %. And finally trigger 3 could be 54c with fan going to Z %. And logically the reverse direction in sequence.
I find speedfan works well, but often my fans going to 100 bring the temps down and then I end up cycling up and down. Stressing the system generally brings the fans to 100 and stays there, but often there is just enough stress to heat a little only requiring say 40% speed. Then stress is over and speeds can fall back to 0%.
I code as a hobby, and I know how a large app can be hard to introduce major changes.
Thus, my first question, regarding examples of SMBus interface. Maybe my next project is a PIC controller.
Many thank you’s for your fine product.

Great program. Any chance you will support LPC47B397? My K8WE s2895 uses this for both the CPU and Chassis fans. I would really appreciate it. We K8WE have been without control for some time now.

I want to say “many thanks” to Almico for now successfully supporting the
SMSC LPC47B397 chip. My Tyan S2895 Thunder K8WE / (S2895UA2NRF) now controls the fan speed brilliantly!
I’m still tweaking my profile and may make it available one day, but there is currently another working profile available.
Thank goodness for this little utility! I feel I have some control back in my (cooling) life again!
Please make it work for macbooks!!!!
I agree with everyone else who has said this is the best fan tool out there.
Works without problem on my old mobo and the new one as well (m2n-sli-deluxe), makes everything a lot quieter.
Thanks Alfredo.
Hi
i cant send e-mail to you because it cant find a e-mail format like you have
I too wish to see a Linux version. It is a great utility and feel lost without it.
Excellent software for windows, controls my system perfectly and quietly.
Is there any hope for a Linux version, I’ve migrated from Windows to Mandriva 2009 and your program would be the iceing on the cake to me.
Thank You!
