So one user has created their own, FanControl. While SpeedFan is quite literally older than some of the people that browse this website and unfortunately, it appears that the changes in hardware have now superseded it. However, it seems SpeedFan hasn’t been updated properly in a while, so I can only recommend this on the basis that you have an older PC or server that might need some assistance. Sometimes issues just need the simplest solutions.
This is a great method of getting your computer to cool down without the need for hardware. SpeedFan lets you directly control your fans, while also measuring temperatures, but should only be used by those who know what they’re doing. Having the option to ping your CPU’s temperature down to a millisecond and also check how much power you’re currently drawing will give you great indicators of any tiny issues that could be plaguing your PC. In fact, once you get into the thick of the settings, you’ll begin to notice a lot more you can do with it than it first suggests. While I doubt many will need this, it’s ideal if you’re stress-testing the PC and can prevent a lot of unneeded trouble with repairs or replacing.Ī real nice thing that Core Temp has over the others is the display in the tray, which most will just show an average or one core, Core Temp shows everything by user-set colours. In the settings, there are options for overheating prevention and it’ll even give you the choice of shutting the PC down in the event of this. It’s also the perfect, lightweight tool for preventing your PC from killing itself due to overheating. Using that you can observe temps and fan speeds etc.Other options include CoreTemp, which provides a lot of detail about your CPU’s temperature. Usually you can find its icon at bottom right of your screen. However, the card normally comes with a tool to observe and configure that card, often automatically installed when you first set it up and install its device drivers. So using that you can see your info in real time while actually working.įor the add-on graphics card, normally there is no way for that card's info to be captured by the mobo. and allows you to change some of those settings. But virtually all mobos have included on the CD that comes with them a bunch of utilities and device drivers, and one of those utilities normally is a Windows app you can run along with others on your screen that shows you things like temperatures, fan speeds and voltages, etc.
Of course you can see such basic info in the BIOS Setup screens, but you can't see that when you are actually using your system. But one problem with third-party tools is they may need proper calibration. They may not have the added features of third-party software, but they are free. For the mobo and CPU, I normally would start with the tools supplied with your mobo - they are supposed to be very reliable in terms of accuracy.
