* Carlo Adami, for his great work on AS99127F * The first one to thank is Alexander Van Kaam, for letting me discover the wonderful world of sensors I've known of no real problem caused by SpeedFan, but may be it's due to the fact that once it made the PC explode and the user disappeared in the blast, thus being unable to report :-) Anyway: SpeedFan can be extremely useful, but you should first watch its behavior before setting and forgetting it. * almost any number of fan speed readings * almost any number of temperature readings * almost any number of hardware monitor chips On my system, TEMP1 and TEMP3 are both influenced by FAN1. You can configure on which fan every temperature should rely. In my pc, more than one temperature changes when a fan runs faster. One last word should be said regarding the USE FAN x listbox. Consider that when the WARNING temperature is reached, the program sets the fan speed to 100, whatever maximum speed you selected. You can set, say, 60 as the maximum value and, sometimes, I myself set it that way. I suggest to use 100 as the maximum value, unless you hear a lot of noise from it, in which case you might reduce the maximum speed to 95 or 90. When you hear no noise from the fan then you can set that value as the minimum fan speed for that fan. When choosing parameters for the minimum and maximum fan speed, try to set them by hand (disable all the VARIATE FANs checkboxes) and listen to the noise. By properly configuring SpeedFan, you can let it change fan speeds based on system temperatures. SpeedFan monitor temperatures from several sources. PWM4 and PWM5 on ITE IT8620E are now disabled by default (please, read this article). ITE IT8620E (used on several Gigabyte boards) support has been greatly enhanced (now SpeedFan can control up to 5 fans and report voltages too). This version defaults to no SCSI access if the Intel Storage Driver is found. SpeedFan 4.51 Final is now online! It adds support for a lot of new hardware. SpeedFan works fine with Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, 2003, XP, Vista, Windows 7, 2008, Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. SpeedFan can access digital temperature sensors and can change fan speeds accordingly, thus reducing noise. SpeedFan can even change the FSB on some hardware (but this should be considered a bonus feature). If I disable automatic updating, then I don't see any network connections in my network monitor.SpeedFan is a program that monitors voltages, fan speeds and temperatures in computers with hardware monitor chips. I can even control the automatic updating myself. Very important for me, Argus respects privacy. I had initial concerns about the reliability of a software regulation, but they have gone away now. I have not had a crash so far, or noticed any strange or 'buggy' behavior. It seems very lean programmed and has little resource consumption and also no additional 'bloatware' as with the tools of the motherboard manufacturers. Current hardware is supported quickly and generally very good product maintenance, felt high quality. Here are some more points that I particularly like in general: In most cases, I can already do without other system tools. The combination with the temperature measurements/graphs complement Argus perfectly. It's almost fun to build your profiles with all the possibilities. Manually I like to use it to test which fan behaves how or in my 'render' profile where I set all fans fixed to 100%. Depending on the situation/profile, I have all of the options in use. The whole range of fan control, from manual control, bios scattered to averaging over a period of time and hysteresis is an 'all-round carefree package'. I recently renewed my 1 year plan and even decided against the cheaper 3 year version because I like to support Argus with a payment every year. I just want to report that back as praise. For me it is by far the best program for fan control and an incredible help to keep my workstation cool and quiet. „I have been using Argus for some time now. NONE of them could deal with my Lenovo hardware (with dual GPUs), that I have. Prior to stumbling across your product, I had tried maybe a half dozen other fan apps. Features, update support, safety precautions, etc. „I have to acknowledge, you and your team have created a phenomenal fan control app. Thank you very very much, please do keep up the good work“ You have created something incredibly reliable and function-rich that I truly appreciate. I am now the proud owner of a PC quieter than I could have ever imagined. It is safe to say that Argus Monitor has absolutely saved my life. Every piece of software out there seems to have some kind of critical defect that makes it completely unusable. I never managed to get my GPU fully quiet. „For years I have had problems with fans in my various PCs all spinning up and down for seemingly no reason whatsoever.
