0001573: Zero Fan Support

When Speedfan starts, there are zero fans to control. I enabled DELL support with zero success.

0001572: The latest version doesnt report CPU temps correctly

I had 4.38 installed for a while and my cpu temps while idle would show to low to mid 40's and showing as green. After installed 4.40 my temps would show to be mid to high 50's on idle. The only reason I know this is wrong is because of a temp reporter on my motherboard, as well as a small led screen on my PC tower. They both report to be 40's still. Even though the tower reading is very inaccurate, I know the motherboard temp is correct. Downgrading back to 4.38 has reported 40's temps again.

0001557: Speedfan - video card fan stopped permanently?

I've been using Speedfan for years too change fan speeds on my Gigabyte Nvidia 6800GT (Winbond W83L785R) video card, but after closing Speedfan 4.37 then immediately reopening it again, a few days ago, it seems to have permanently? set the W83L785R chip to a PWM value to low to startup, and the fan is now stopped dead at all times including startup POST.
I can see the fan's LED light's glow *very faintly* at 100% and go dimmer as I decrease the % so the fan physically seems ok.
I have shutdown the PC and unplugged it overnight - no effect.
Have run PC with 4.37 un-installed - no effect.
Have installed GigaByte vturner2 fan/OC controller - no effect (just reports 0 RPM and can't speed it up)
Have installed SF 4.40 - no effect.
Video card is otherwise fine, I just can't play any 3D games because card gets to hot.

0001571: Profile feature suggestion

Firstly, thanks for developing a fantastic program and the continuing support you provide.

I have a bit of a suggestion. What would be really useful (certainly for me anyway!) is some kind of profile feature. For example, choosing a summer or winter profile due to changing ambient temperature.

Or, what would be really great, is an ability to change fan speed based on running application rather than just temperature. For example, having certain profiles assigned to different pre-chosen exe files, such that different fan speeds can be loaded with specific applications.

Have you already considered this functionality? Is there any possibility that this will be implemented in a future version?

Many thanks!

0001570: Include clock gen

Please could you include the ics 926 found on a ECS-G43T m/b

0001568: Sensor name in shared memory

Alfredo,

could you make the sensor names (Core0, Core1, HD0, GPU, Vcore and so on) make available in shared memory? Maybe in a second array behind the actual values to be backwards compatible? Thanks.

0001567: .

Flyoffacliff.com is don't being advertized in the program.

speedfan 4.40 hangs at the end of detection
tried it with /NOUGURUSCAN it worked but the program doesn't show voltages and cpu fan speed.i know it is obvious that it is because it doesn't read values from UGURU but just wanted to know that will this problem be solved soon or not.
thanks

0001565: Advanced fan conrtol, to prevent twitching etc.

I've been using Speedfan for a very long time now (
In configuration one should be able to set (per fan):
- The "fan startup" percentage, which in most cases is a bit higher than the lowest percentage the fan is able to run at.
- A "Turn off" toggle/check box, which, when set, skips the range between "minimum fan speed" percentage an goes to 0% directly. When the fan is needed again it should go to the "fan startup" percentage and then tune down to "minimum fan speed" percentage.
- A "Turn off" timer value, which starts to count down on minimum speed percentage reached, before turning the fan to 0%

0001564: MSI P55-GD80

Speedfan 4.40 on the MSI P55-GD80, which uses the Fintek F71889 super i/o, seems to detect only 4 of the 5 fan headers available. Testing all headers with the Nexus D12SL-12 PWM fans came to this results:

- CPUFAN Header: Speedfan fan1: 0% = +/-630rpm, no full stop possible.
- SYSFAN1 Header: Speedfan fan2: 32% = +/- 500rpm, full stop possible.
- SYSFAN2 Header: Speedfan fan3: 31% = +/- 500rpm, full stop possible.
- SYSFAN3 Header: Speedfan unknown: does not control nor register rpm for fan4.
- SYSFAN4 Header: Speedfan unknown: does not control nor register rpm for fan4.

Furthermore control of speeds for fan 1, 2 and 3 is smooth.

This is probably related (or even the same issue) described in the following bug report but with same differences:

0001563: System freezes upon SpeedFan startup

On my dual-processor motherboard every monitoring program I have hangs the machine (Sandra, Everest, MBprobe and SpeedFan). The only monitoring utility that doesn't hang my S2688 is Tyan System Monitor, but when it is started after being installed for the first time it asks for the model of the MB it's being run on, so it doesn't have to "guess" or scan anything. SpeedFan doesn't hang my MB either if I start it with /NOSMBSCAN, but then I don't see any readings except the temperatures of my HDDs. If I start it with /SMBDEBUG and press START, the system hangs immediately and SMBDEBUG.NFO is zero bytes long.

0001562: Only shown a CPU temp and SMART attributes for HDD.

Not show voltages and fan speeds. Video card not found! (GPU-Z working good)

If Speedfan running not as "Administrator" or compatibility mode "windows XP", then Speedfan unable to find HDD drive.

0001522: MSI 790FX-GD70 --> detects wrong chip --> fan missing, wrong information shown

Chip F71882F detected by Speedfan. Should be F71889F ! !
Shows 4 Fans, CPU + 3x SysFan

Missing:
SysFan (3 or 4) - didn't have time to check which one exactly

0001538: Fanspeed controls don't work(Asus K8N-VM).

I've tried with 4.40 and 4.30 versions. The program measures and displays(with the same RPM as Everest) "Sys fan" and "CPU0 fan" speeds and offers to me 4 fields for fanspeed control, but none of then affect my system and cpu fan duty. They are connected on the CPU_FAN and CHA_FAN board connectors.

Also there are displayed voltages and temps which seems to be correct according to the other measuring software on my computer.

And I have no other fan control software installed.

0000018: MSI KT4V clock control

Hmmm, MSI KT4V (MS 6712) is very goog and popular mainboard for AMD processors. Is there will be possibility to add support for clock control for it? I have infos about clockgen chip type.

0001561: PMW CPU Fan will not change speed on an Asus P6T Deluxe v2

I now have a four pin PWM CPU fan and SpeedFan will not change the speed automatically. Speed02 will change the speed automatically on fan channels 1 to 3.

I see in another thread that has been locked that this issue with the CPU fan header was supposedly resolved back in August 2009 and SpeedFan v4.40 was released, but I can not get it to work.

In the advanced configuration tab, selecting Winbond WW83667HG then changing PWM 1 mode from SmartFan3* to manuaul the speed of the fan will drop by 20% or so, but that is all I can get it to do.

What settings do I need to change so that I can use Speed01 or Speed03 to automatically change the speed of the CPU fan?

__________________________________________________________________________

Since I have made posts in the past regarding the CPU fan I reposted this so that "PMW CPU Fan" was in the header since from what I have read in a thread from last year the PMW CPU fan should automatically change speed with the release of SpeedFan v4.40. Please excuse the double post regarding this issue, but I wanted to make sure that people who just read the header knew that it is in regards to a PWM CPU fan.

0001556: After MS security updates speedfan no longer can report CPU usage.

As far as I know speed fan reported CPU usage and had a graph for each CPU on the readings page. MS security updates that came out on Feb 9th 2010 seem to have broken speedfan's ability to report CPU usage.

0001559: CPU fan will not change speed on an Asus P6T Deluxe v2

0001558: SpeedFan reads temperature on my video cards as 0 degrees celcius and fan speeds as 0 RPM

Only the CPU fan is showing correct RPM, but the others are at 0 RPM, also SpeedFan is unable to change fan speeds at all. These problems have been present since I started using SpeedFan. Furthermore, neither the temperature or the fan speed is working on my GPU's. Its just showing as 0 degrees/RPM's.

0001526: "Unknown attribute"

This happens with SF4.39 & 4.40 and xp. On my old win98 machine both run fine( well kinda, SF4.40 reports a 30% cpu load while zindoz is idling).

On this Xp machine, SF (4.39, 4.40beta & 4.40 )can not read s.m.a.r.t.

Nothing appears on the "advanced tab" if I select "HDO(160Gb)at $0 on AdvSMART".
The s.m.a.r.t tab lists only a bunch of "Unknown attribute" items.

SF4.38 works fine.

0001525: Nearly useless under Win7

Switching from Vista 32 to Win7 64, more issues that I anticipated. Speedfan 4.40 & 4.38 react the same way. If I use the graph I get temp for cores 0-7. Configuration area is essentially blank. No fans listed, no speed, no voltage, about as blank as it could be. The exotics area shows the temp and usage for cores 0-7. I thought that I did something to get it to come up with drive info but I can't reproduce it. I am working w/a handful of diagnostic programs and nobody is running perfect.

0001547: Speedfan can't control fans unless logged-on, even as a service

Speedfan(sf) works perfectly when I am logged on to and am on that same user page. However, if I "remember it"..ie.save the settings and leave that user account(even if still logged on), the sf logic appears to "freeze" and lock onto the last fan speeds that were active (the fan speeds won't change no matter what the temp. I have to manually reset the PWM fans from manual back to automatic and then log off to return the fans to M/B control.
I also set up speedfan as a "service" several different ways as specified....same thing happens. The service appears in Task Manager...but the logic doesn't change the fan speeds. Do I need a setup folder under system32 ?
I tried different user amd administrator accounts to no avail. I run "Folding@HOME" quite a bit, it would be great if I could just set my fans up and the system would run under sf control no matter who is logged on and also when everyone is logged off. Many thank's for all the hard work !!!

0001336: Smaller window at startup

Nearly every time my windows boot up if i click on a SF icon on tray the SF window that pops up is smaller in size that it should be ( see the attached photo ). If i click on that window anywhere it disappears. Only way to fix it is to shut down SF and run it again. It only happens when SF is starting from Startup folder.
