***Quiet that noisy overclocked system with Speedfan!!***

This program really is incredible. Once you use it, you will wonder why all systems are not setup this way by default. Speedfan allows you to control the RPM of any fan connected to a mobo header. You can have it vary the speed of any fan based on any temperature sensor. You can set high and low RPM limits on any fan. It even reads the temp of your HD. You can change fan RPMs based on HD temp as well.

Once you set it up, it is completely automatic. Have your system nice and quiet while web surfing, and pick the RPM's up when the system is worked.

<< The site says it's freeware but I don't see any place to download it.Looks pretty cool I'd like to try it! >>



Down near the bottom of the front page where it says "DOWNLOAD" is where you can D/L it.
 
I hope you all fry your monitoring chips, companies dont offer an app that does that for a reason, the things arent made to do that.

And dont come whinning here or sueing the creator when your board fries and you burn down your house!

Can you come here whining if your mobo caught fire and you poured water on it?
 
gogeeta13, why would you say that? The hardware is built into the system. You just need SW to take advantage of it. ASUS offers CPU fan RPM based on temp readings in the ASUS PC Probe they bundle with their mobos.
 
I don't have anything listed in my "Speeds" tab, does that mean it won't work with my motherboard (IWILL KK266)? or is there somewhere else to change the fan speeds?
 
Hmm, I have speedfan, but it can't change fan rpm on the 8KHA+, whereas everything else is ok with the proggie...

the chips in Asus mobos may be able to do the VRM function, the majority arent designed for it, and you are forcing the IC to take the load of the extra voltage.
 


<< you are forcing the IC to take the load of the extra voltage >>


You are lowering the voltage to run the fans slower. I don't understand why that would put more of a load on anything. BTW, my Gigabyte mobo has been running 24 x 7 for the last 2 weeks with Speedfan keeping the CPU and case fans @ ~ 60 - 75 %. Works very well for me.

You're wrong. Whether or not a motherboard can work with Speedfan depends on the hardware monitoring chip. Some support PWM, some don't. You can't damage anything by using Speedfan.
 
I dont think it supports all mobo's. I dont have the mobos you guys are talking about, so its hard to say. Maybe send an email to the author with the "send report" feature.
 
Real overclockers use large current sucking fans running off extra power supply taps, not mobo headers! 😛

Cool idea though!

Cheers!

Yes yes, but then some real overclockers are also sick and tired of their computers sounding like a Concorde on it's trans-atlantic flight. 😎

Amen brotha.
 
Actually, my PC70 Lian case is quieter than most OEM systems from Compaq, GW2k, Dell, etc. Quite a remarkable achievement with 3 15k SCSI drives too! 🙂

Going up to a larger fan (92,120, even 180 mm) fan and running it at a lower speed is much quieter than a small screamer AND moves more air to boot! A win-win situation.

Cheers!
