SpeedFan
Encyclopedia
SpeedFan is software
that can read temperatures, voltages and fan speeds of computer components. It can change computer fan
speeds depending on the temperature of various components.
The program can display system variables as a chart and as an indicator in the system tray.
Fully configurable user events can be defined to execute specific actions based on system status. As of version 4.37, temperatures in the event section must be specified in °C no matter if the display setting is for °F.
