SpeedFan.............

[DJROD]

Anyone on here actually use it? If so...got any step by step methods for me. Want to know how to exactly control the fan in my laptop so it stays cool. I havent really planned with it yet. But just decided to ask on here.

SpeedFan will pick up some sensors and not others. Before you get too into planning, run it and follow the readme. See if it can pick up your temps and voltages. Also some machines have settings in the BIOS. The manufacturer doesn't always document these in the owner's manual. Guess it's for techs to know during setup or something. You may have to ask on a PC brand specific forum.

Or you could go the hw route as thw suggested.

Thanks both of you. It looks kinda confusing When i ran it earlier. I could tell what it was doing. I just wanna get to a point where i can tell my fan is HOT. And i know how to cool it wntith this. Everything else i wouldnt care. But..the thing with this is...its the everything i need to know to even do what i want. Make sense? LOL.

Howling...what is that actually for? Fans to?


[Edit] I see i see now. Checks the temp for each thing. Hmmm..is that free? Im gonna check it out. Than ks.

Go to this website

Speecy is a software program that will tell you everything about your system including the temp of the fans.
It is free.....

Yea just got it thanks. BUT....i think this TELLS you the temp right? So if the fans are too hot...it wont cool it for u right? I think thats where SpeedFan comes in. Just may have to messed with that to. But i do like Speecy to. Thanks Howling.

Your welcome DJ.
I also use Ccleaner and Recuva from Piriform.
Speecy will tell you the temps and I quick glance that daily.
I don't mess with the speed fan at all. IMO
Have a great evening and keep those records in a safe place.
