I haven't used since around the early or mid 2000s I think, but that left bad memories althought it used to be an excellent program up to that point. I'll have to look closely at SpeedFan again, I guess. In a way the program only needs a 100% setting and "Auto", but I doubt I would come across anything like that ASUS AI Suite is not a very good program, the few upsides don't make up for all the less desirable "features" it has. I don't want a program running in the background all the time, since I need it only a few times, and then maybe not use it for a month. This is also why I don't remove the case side panel for instance, which could have been another option. I don't even need it to be running during benchmarks, as I want results that translates to my general use, this includes temperatures of every component as good as possible. I only need to use it between benchmark runs to clear hot air from the case and speed up the time it takes for the components to return to normal temps. I use saved BIOS profiles to speed up the process, but I would like to make it a bit easier, than booting and rebooting constantly.

But I want to be able to set the fans to max RPM without having to boot into BIOS and adjust settings, only to reboot 15 minutes later to adjust everything back. A program where I don't have to enter BIOS on certain ocations, just to rev the fans to their max setting or something like that, and then not use it otherwise.īIOS setttings are great, and I have found a setup I like for everyday use.
#Speedfan program free
But I still see it mentioned from time to time, is that the way to go? Or can anyone recommend a preferably free or inexpensive program to control my fans, not all the time, but once in a while. This happened to a lot of popular free tools at the time.
#Speedfan program software
I don't remember in detail why I stopped using it, but I do remember it going from being a great (free) tool to a horrible piece of software with a lot of unnecessary additions, almost like spyware/malware. Many, many years ago, more than 10 years ago, I used SpeedFan to control my case fans. I would prefer to stay away from ASUS AI Suite. The AiO is controlled by the NZXT Cam software, so I only need to control the 3 Noctua case fans The motherboard is an ASUS RoG Maximus XI Hero (WiFi) - BIOS 1401 The case fans are three 140mm Noctua NF-P14s Redux 1200 PWM fans, connected by 4-pin cable to three separate 4-pin headers on the motherboard.
#Speedfan program windows
For general use, the UEFI has plenty of options, but I'd like to have control from Windows once in a while. It is not something I do too often, but often enough to find it annoying to enter UEFI everytime I want different settings for the case fans. I only need it every now and again, for when I'm stresstesting / benchmarking and for trying to find the best settings between case fans and the fans on my AiO, and pump RPM of the AiO.

I'm looking for a piece of software to control my case fans.
