SpeedFan Seems to be living in hell

[Alir]

It says my CPU temp is 127c and my AUXTIN1 is fluctuating between over 100c or 30c. And the AUXTIN2 and AUXTIN3 are -128C and -60C respectively.

 

What the hell is up with this?

My CPU is i7 4790K.

 

Because of that I'm not sure if the HDD temps below it are legit or not.

 

Anyone know of a better software for monitoring temps - and free?

HWMonitor

try restarting your pc. when i restarted mines speedfan correctly found the sensors. speedfan is definitely capable of reading out temps, even the GPU

I use HWMonitor(non pro), but Speedfan has always been messed up, and it hasn't been updated in ages.

HWMonitor, Openhardwaremonitor, ADAI64 for a bit. OCCT.

It was last updated October 30th of 2015, that's not really ages...

well I agree with the "always messed up" part though.  I've tried it a couple times on different systems over the years and every single time found it entirely useless

They don't push many compatibility updates though, a lot of sensors/controllers are still unsupported.

It is unquestionably the best program for fan control though, nothing else comes even remotely close in terms of flexibility and options.

It's just not user friendly, at all, lots of people will probably need a guide to figure out just how to set a lot of things up.

 

No other program would let you control your CPU fan based on your... SSD temperature. You can attach any fan to any temperature in your PC, no matter how illogical lol.

 

But yea readings can be inaccurate, they are with lots of programs though.

I was never able to control any fans in any way, manual or otherwise

You probably didn't set it up correctly. You have an Asus Z87, nothing niche. 

For me, it's the only program that exists which allows me to have my case fans controlled by my GPU temperature, which makes infinitely more sense for games than having them based off CPU temps meanwhile your GPU is getting hammered.

 

For what it's worth, this is the most comprehensive SpeedFan guide there is I believe
