Speedfan What?

[MahtXL]

Im looking at this and its all gibberish to me. I literally just want to set an aggressive fan curve for my 212 evos fan. I dont care about noise btw, i wont hear it over the 2 giant room fans i have going anyways.


So how on earth do you use this? I dont see anything that would lead me to believe it can change my fan speed, or set fan curves. I know it has something to do with PWM or whatever but. Yeah this programs a veritable mess.

Fan curve is under S.M.A.R.T if I remember correctly.

Speedfan has never once worked for me, ever. I thought it was some old outdated crap at first but I guess people still use it

 

You should see if you can adjust your CPU fan curve in the BIOS first before going to any software

It can be EXTREMELY confusing at first. Videos can explain it best.

EDIT: Here's another. Shorter and more to the point.

 

EDIT  v2: You'll want to make sure to rename fan headers and up the "Warning temperatures" for components to keep speedfan from maxing out your fans once things heat up, @MahtXL .

Weird. Works perfectly for me. Took 2 hours to figure it out though.

This.... Using the motherboard's bios, its way easier to understand than speedfan. (Plus you don't need another program running now do you?)

Yeah, but speedfan offers more control. That makes all the difference for me personally.

Yeah thats fair enough, some people prefer it that way.

I suppose that's true. Just my preference is all.

 

Also, not that it matters, but Jay uses Speedfan.

If you are not worried about noise at all then I would recommend trying mobo settings first. Speedfan is great but it does take a while to figure out and configure to your liking. The videos linked by others should get you where you want to be if you take the speedfan route. I love it but it's definitely not for everyone.
