The record

Hardware monitoring: SpeedFan monitors computer voltages, fan speeds, and temperatures using hardware monitor chips.
Fan control: It can change fan speeds according to system temperatures to reduce noise, when the hardware supports control.
Disk health: It reads S.M.A.R.T. information and hard disk temperatures, and supports SCSI disk health and statistical data.
Online analysis: Its “In-depth online analysis” compares hard disk S.M.A.R.T. data to a model derived from millions of reports.
Storage and RAID support: The maker lists support for software RAID, ARECA, CSMI, and AMCC 3ware controllers, while noting reliable RAID access depends on hardware-maker support.
Windows compatibility: The download page lists Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, 2003, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and Windows Server 2003, 2008, and 2012, including 64-bit systems.
Latest listed version: The maker’s download page lists SpeedFan 4.52 as the latest version.
Hardware compatibility limit: Changing fan speeds requires suitable motherboard circuitry, which the maker says is not included on every motherboard.
Configuration and support: The maker says users can create custom events and contact Alfredo Milani Comparetti by email with questions, suggestions, or reports of unusual behavior.
Security: The maker says the installer and executable are digitally signed with SOKNO S.R.L.’s certificate and warns that an unsigned download is not SpeedFan.
Intended user: The maker describes SpeedFan as a tool aimed at power users and advises watching its behavior before leaving it configured unattended.
Safety limitation: The maker cautions that accessing motherboard resources may not suit all hardware and says it cannot be held responsible for system damage.
