Summary

0001495: 4.39 doesnt adjust fan speed, 4.27 does

Description

I recently installed Windows 7 on my media center. I also installed the latest release of speedfan (4.39). With 4.39 five fans are reported. When I adjust the fanspeed with the up/down arrows on the main screen, nothing happens (I dont hear the fan go slower). I had a 4.27 version of speedfan installed on my windows xp media center (only three fans are reported with this version). When I start version 4.27 from Windows 7 (from Windows.old), I can adjust the fanspeed (I hear the fan go slower). The strange is when I then close version 4.27 and start 4.39 again, I can adjust the fanspeed with 4.39 also.

Another strange with Windows 7 I have is that speedfan doesnt want to start automatically on startup, although a shortcut is in the Menu Start/Programs/Startup directory (it does start when I double click the shortcut).

Notes
(0005027) pvi (reporter) 2009-10-31 23:20	Read other post. Changing PWM 1 mode from 'SmartGuardian' to 'Software controlled' solved the problem with adjusting fan speed. Only problem I got left is with the auto startup.

(0005028) pvi (reporter) 2009-10-31 23:36	Got the startup fixed by executing 'shell:startup' from the start menu and pasting a shortcut to speedfan to that location. Dont understand where that location is on disk exactly, but it works. Read more on startup at http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1401-startup-programs-change.html [^]
