SpeedFan 4.29 is out

Hi to all,
Those of you who think your Cpu temp is reporting too high by the mobo, you should try SpeeFan 4.29
The few i could understand is a new way of reading the temp reported. SpeedFan read directly the core, so it should be a lot more accurate than this buggy Winbond ( at last on my Neo2 ..)
I was always thinking my Cpu temp reported was a bit high. Now i can see that i was not wrong --> 5/6 C under the winbond report.
If this new report is not buggy ( never knows ), i will can investigate a more high overclocking
Try it, and let us know.
See you later

4.29 - added full support for AMD K8 (Sempron, Opteron, Athlon 64) internal temperature sensor
- added full support for Intel ICH8 SMBus
- added full support for NVIDIA MCP04
- events can now send EMAILs using the built-in multithreaded server
- SEND MAIL for events sends an email containing all current readings (temperatures, fans, fan speeds, voltages and hard disk status)
- implemented hysteresis in fan speeds control (this should greatly reduce fluctuations)
- optimized chart repainting
- fixed multiple instance detection of video cards
- added detection and support for new revisions of IT8712F
- added detection for some Analog Devices chips
- added support for hardware monitor at unusual addresses on W83627EHF
- identified some new Winbond W83627 revisions
- hard disk temperature is recomputed in the IN-DEPTH ONLINE REPORT
- fixed "error loading event" message at startup

Speedfan temp

Just installed speedfan ver.4.23, havent configured it yet. My question is on the 1st tab(readings)its shows fan01 and fan02. The temps are what worry me.
fan01: 2614rpm
fan02: 2997 rpm
I have the"automatic fan speed" box checked.
The temperatures read like this:
Ambient: 35 celcius
Remote 1: 28 celcius
Remote 2: 115 celcius (this one worries me why so high?, I felt around my case and it cool)
HDO: 37 celcius
Should I worry bout the remote2's temp and also how can i tell what each temp is for cpu, case, hd ect...
Oh sorry my specs are:
its the emachine T6212
amd 64 3200 939 winnie
ati express 200 with igp
2x256 samsung, 2x256 ocz pc3200 dual channell
seagate 160gb hd ata/100 7200 rpm
Hope this post makes sense. I read the help section on speedfan, but couldnt figure out what each temp was for
thanks for all the help,
Stuart

thanks for the response jimcpl, I did what you suggested(made it so cpu usage was at 100%) and i believe remote 1 is the cpu cause it rose from 28 to 35. Now the remote2 did rise also but only by 2.So I think you are right about that, that its unconnected or unterminated. I read that also, right after I posted question(sorry bout that).I think hdo is the hard drive and maybe ambient is the igp? cause it has same bus name(atil gp...) as remote 1 and 2. What do you think? Now I have to decide if I want to let speedfan control the cool and quiet. I have power option in control panel set to minimal power and while Idleing it goes down to 986ghz. So its is working on its own. Speedfan shows fans running at fan1: 2560 and fan2: 2997. Is that to fast for idling? Hope you dont mind me asking you you opinion.
thanks
Stuart

Newb question: can anyone tell me what these Speedfan temps mean???

I just built my first PC (P6N SLI-FI board and Core 2 Duo 6420 chip) and I've got a few questions about cooling (I'm using the stock cooler and the thermal paste that came with the chip):
1. I installed Speedfan, but I'm not sure what each temp refers to. After having the machine run Windows XP for a minute or two, here are my approximate readings (all in degrees Celsius, obviously):
Temp1= 23
Temp2= 30
Temp3= 145 (I think this is an error due to lack of a sensor)
HD0 = 23
Core0 = 23
Core1 = 23
After playing Neverwinter Nights 2 for about an hour, Temp2 reaches about 45 (all of the other readings are lower, somewhere in the 30s I think, but I can't remember for sure).
2. I'm going to be using my computer mostly for gaming. What temps should I try to stay below? Should I think about using Artic Silver 5? (I really wanted to use it when I put the machine together, but I wimped out because I was worried about voiding the warranty with Intel )

Quote from: Snaggly Pete on 24-May-07, 23:09:08
Thanks for the info. So, none of the temperatures I've listed represent the ambient temperature? How do I find out what the ambient temperature is?
The temp in my house was probably about 70F (I didn't actually check at the time) when I measured those temperatures and yes core0 and core1 were roughly 23C. Again, I only had the computer on for a minute or two when I checked SpeedFan.
Sorry for the delay in responding to your question!
As far as case temperature, I've gone as far as suspending a household thermometer in the vicinity of the HS fan.
Fact: It is impossible for any air-cooling solution to cool the processor below the temperature of the intake airflow. Air cooling solutions, as well as liquid cooling solutions, rely on convection (+conduction and radiation) to transfer the heat off of the CPU. The amount of heat the air mass/flow can absorb is limited by the temperature of the air mass, volume and partial pressure across the heatsink(s). Except for the short time the HS is transitioning from a cooler, non-operational state, where the HS may be cooler than the incoming airflow caused by a newly started system, to the operational state with both case temperature and CPU temperature increasing, the temperature of the HS will always be above the temperature of the surrounding air.
So, given a 70F/21C room temp, you should expect the 'system' (mobo) and core temperatures to be at or probably slightly above 21C if you check Hardware Monitor in BIOS immediately and as much as 10 - 15 degrees C higher by the time you check them in the OS. Again, those figures may be lower or higher by a few degrees depending on the HS/HSF used.
Remember, when evaluating operating temps, always use the delta between case temperature and core temperature (or whichever system temp) rather than the temperature in question on its own. Say you are given two systems that use all the same components except the cooling solution. System A uses air-cooling solution 'Ace' and has a case temperature of 38C with core temps of 43C on each core, while System B uses cooling solution 'Best' and has a case temperature of 23C and core temps of 34C. Which is the better solution?
The answer is probably TEC.

Speedfan config

i have finally got round to setting up my PC with flashing lights leds etc. Looks good but bthe case is rubbish for changing.
back to the point. I downloaded a config file from the speedfan web site which gives me the following readings : except i have no idea what the temp 52c is supposed to be and the chipset famspeed looks massive
any comments?

What am I trying to achieve with speedfan?
I have almost just finished building my current PC. It has five case fans, Zalman 9500 heatsink and fan plus an Akasa temperature sensor and fan control. Each fan is connected to its own temperature sensor. The only fans not connected to the fan controller the Zalman and the Northbridge fan which are both connected to the motherboard sensors. It is all built in to a clear acrylic case and with all LEDs it looks like something from Close Encounters.
There is not a lot more I can do at this stage to install more hardware from cooling, my next project is to overclock this just out of devilment but I just want to keep my eye on the temperatures inside the case. When I am raising the temperature , I can keep the fan speed turned down because with all these fans going out once it can be a bit noisy. Each fan has its own alarm so that if the hard drives or the case become too hot I can turn the speed up on the fans.
It is way over the top I know but it's fun playing

[915 Series] Speedfan for 915 chipset

Hi
Can anyone help me with settings for a 915 chipset using speedfan to try to manage system fans?
Cheers

chattam, Speedfan doesn't talk with 915 chipset, it talks with the fan controller or hardware monitor chip on your board. You got to play with Speedfan on your system, experiment everything out and you will find the best settings for your system.

MSI p965 NEO-F SpeedFan setup guide !!!

IF you have MSI p965 Platinum board, speedfan 4.32 Beta 8 does not support it, please wait for release of speedFan beta 12, which should support platinum board. (thx: Olabe)
25.1.2007: Added screen shots from my settings. (10th post on the thread).
Okay. Seems many people have problems setting up speedFan with p965 neo. I agree the setup is bit cryptic, but I got it working with the help & HOWTO guide included with speedfan. If this didn't help you, try to follow these instructions.
My setup. (tested to work with bios 1.6B9 , 1.6B13 (D) 1.6B15 (F) ) With P965 NEO-f
I am using SpeedFan 4.32 Beta 8. (to download beta, you need to register to speedfan site b4 you can download it, so of you go to http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php )
Oh btw if you want pictures, I'm feeling lazy, refer to speedFan manual it has nice pictures and quite good howto too.
When you start speedfan you will see some temperatures and maybe one fanspeed that will probably say 0 RPM. Don't care about the speed reading yet.
What we are interested are core1 and core2 temp.
Press configure button and go to temperatures tab.
** TEMPERATURES
There are temperatures core1 and core2. Open first core1.
There you should see like speed1, speed2, speed3. For my rig, speed2 was actually CPUfan, so with 965neo it should be that, for platinum ppl you just have to figure it out by testing.
Open CORE1 and untag all other speeds except speed2. This means that CORE1 temperature is related to SPEED2 of some fan (cpufan).
Now Do the same to CORE2, as it is cooled by same fan.
Now before you exit temperatures, choose core2, set desired and warning temp. SpeedFan tries to keep "desired temp". Mine is 53C, meaning if core1 or core2 goes above, fanspeed is increased, if both are below, fan will be slowed.
!!! REMEMBER to set the FAN to cool both cores, so that if 1 threaded program is causing lot of CPU load your cooler reacts to it !!!
** FANS
Go to FANs tab. Unselect all but SPEED2 (you can also rename it). This means only speed is shown for this fan. (I only use 1 fan that gives readings).
** SPEEDS
Go to SPEEDS tab. And select SPEED2. Here you can set maximum and minimum power of your fans. Mine are 0% and 100%. With my mobo and intel stock cooler 0% is about 1050RPM. Tho you should check that the fan does not stop with this setting but not yet.
** ADVANCED
Go to Advanced tab. From selection menu select "WINBOND blahblah".
Now you must edit 2 settings.
FAN2 divisor, set this to 8. (now you should be able to see fanspeed, but dont exit the menu yet).
PWM2 mode is something like "thermal cruise" meaning its mobo controlled, change setting to "manual PWM control" and check box "remember it" from very down of the settings window.
Now press OK.
Now from speedFan main menu, you select (below settings button) automatic fanspeed.
So now speedFan should be controlling your fanSpeed and you should see also your fan rpm (thx to blueKnight giving hint about the fan divider).
If you cant see your fanSpeed I dunno, but even if you dont see it, if you have done the setup on correct fan, speedFan should now control the cpu fan power % depending on Core temps.
Now get pifast/superpi/prime95/stresstest (i prefer stresstest).
First run something only on one core, see if speedfan reacts it, or if you even hit your "desired temperature". Fanspeed should start going up.
If this does not work, try changing on other core, or run 2 threaded test. (or for pifast, make a bat file that runs it continously) and run 2 pifast. Preferably before this open to CMD's and setup from task managers processor affinities so that cmd1 runs on core0, cmd2 runs on core1.
**** pifast_continous.bat ****
:alku
call pifast.bat
goto alku
/*** pifast_continous.bat ***\
You need to use "call" command so that it runs continously after quitting pifast.
Pifast.bat is a batch execution file that runs the pifast with pre defined settings so that it wont ask any questions after startup.
**** pifast.bat ****
pifast33.exe < pi_inp.txt
/*** pifast.bat ***\
pi_inp.txt is an input parameters file and looks like this
**** pi_inp.txt ****

If you want to be bit more hifi about your cpu.
Google for rightmark cpu clock utility and install it. Using performance on demand settings you can setup your CPU to change speeds and voltages depending on cpu utilization (i know the cpu does this automatically).
But also you can use thermal throttling also as "idle throttling". So I enabled throttling at idle, Im using throttle levels 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. This number means that how many of CPU cycles are used for computation and how much is used for idling with trhottle. So PLS remember to choose 100% if you want to use all the CPU power u got.
I wont make guide about rightmark CPU clock utility, it has fine manual itself. And easy GUI. Some of the terms that there is (and TM1 and TM2 sensor or something I had to refer to manual).
To note, my computer works perfectly with CPU clock utility. But my bit older laptop with Pentium M and some Centrino sertified board does not.
Clock utility can set my cpu speed & throttle with my laptop, but it is conflicting with keyboard irq or something, because some times my keyb lose a key hit or two.
Hope this helps you speedFan fans. I'm going back to water cooling when I get my SCSI drives silenced.
- prc

Now with some pictures from my settings.
First before you setup, you can go to speeds tab to rename speed2 to eg. CPUFAN, tho this does not have any other effect than its easier to see from other speeds.
In temeperature tabs, I have chosen core1 and core2 temperatures to be those temperatures that speed2 can affect. As you can see, also core1 (and core2) have "desired" and "warning" temperatures set.
http://koti.mbnet.fi/~prc/temp/Speedfan_temp.JPG
In Fans tab, I have unmarked all other fans than CPUFAN (before renaming speed2). I dont want to monitor other fans, also cpufan is onlyone that I can get RPM values.
http://koti.mbnet.fi/~prc/temp/speedfan_fans.JPG
From speeds tab I have set that CPUFAN minimum speed is 25% and maximum is 100%. Before I had 0-100%, but I changed min value to 25% to give chipset a bit more airflow, as it is with passive cooling.
http://koti.mbnet.fi/~prc/temp/speedfan_speeds.JPG
In advanced tab I have changed speed2 divisor to 8, and PWM2 mode to manual PWM control. This was originally something like thermal cruise or so, meaning it is BIOS controlled.
http://koti.mbnet.fi/~prc/temp/speedfan_advanced.JPG
Here is picture of speedfan running so that there is not much CPU load. (ok the meter says over 40%, must be some of my over 20 applications running atm, but generally load stays under 10%).
http://koti.mbnet.fi/~prc/temp/speedfan_noload.JPG
And here is picture of speedFan under load, running pifast on both cores.
http://koti.mbnet.fi/~prc/temp/speedfan_load.JPG
And here is one picture to show, that the cpu fan really reacts also to manual controls.
http://koti.mbnet.fi/~prc/temp/speedfan_manual.JPG
To note that if I enter speed 0% for my cpufan, it will still run about 1000 RPM, so motherboard won't stop it really. Of course fan minimum and maximum RPM depends on the fan. Some fans run over 5000 RPM (FYI).
My speedfan is version 4.32 beta 8. From BIOS I have enabled that smartfan or whatever setting, with target temperature around 50C. But speedfan will overrule this setting when it is set to "manual PWM control". I have left it enabled, so that my BIOS can control the fanspeed (and not run on 100% all the time) if for some reason I don't startup speedfan or it gets broken.
GL with setupping, hope you got it working, if not try to be bit more specific and lets see if theres something we can do for it.
Ah to note, to control fan you must use fan that uses the 4pin CPUfan connector, I'm not sure if the fan needs to have some chip on itself to be actually controlled. In amd boards, where fan connector is 3pin connector, you can control all fans. (if the cpufan is controllable). Dunno about Intel boards, this is first intel board for me, after my old P3.

Speedfan, Memory & Artic Sliver 3 burn-in

Hi All,
1) Can i set the CPU temperature to 65c, once i hit 65c the speedfan will activiated the system to have auto shutdown, pls advise how the do the setting on it ?
2) how to take out the NB temperature reading on the corecenter, i'm using 1.5.5.0 version, thanks...
3) My memory timing is running at SPD enable at 3,2,3,5,8 is this setting ok, pls advise, thanks.......
4) How to have Artic Silver 3 to act fast on the burn-in period cos on the artic website have mentioned it take estimate 200 hrs ? (*to do so can i stress my cpu to full for 15min and shutdown to cool it for another 15min and keep repeating the whole process again and again ?*)
Thanks in advance.....

I'm Sorry I missed that Question ...And NO don't do that, as it is More of a Curing Process that Does NOT entirely rely on the Temp. of the CPU...To tell you the Truth (And people Make fun of me) but this is one of the reasons that I Hate that Stuff , I used it once, and when I went to Remove my CPU for an Upgrade, the AS Stuff turned to Concrete , And Just do a search, as Many Members have Pulled the CPU OUT Along with the Heatsink ...You MUST make sure that your Rig is Very Hot when you Go to remove the HS, this is Why I use Some of the Quality "White Goop" as the Heckelers Call It , I mean I cant see using that AS and Risking Problems For just a 1-2C Improvement in the Temp. Delta (If it's even that Much anymore) The White Goop, and Ceramiqe TP's are Better for my Needs...Oh and ONE VERY IMPORTANT NOTE, I have read and I believe so Has "Toenne" the Moderator, that Both AMD and INTEL will NOT Honor the CPU's warranty if ANY Metallic Based TP is Used (And they will test for it) But the Chances of you Needing to replace your CPU are Not that Great, and Forget it if you have done any Overclocking, as they test for that too .............Sean REILLY875

Using SpeedFan with K7D?

Hi out there!
I would like to use SpeedFan (http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php) with the MSI K7D (6501) to reduce the speed of my fans accordingly to the temperature in my case. Everything is working fine so far, but the program is not able to set the fans to a specific speed. There are just to possibilities working: fans ON or fans OFF! And with fans completely OFF my case is quiet but... :-)
So is it the board or is it the software or what else?
Thanks,
T.
By the way... THE BOARD IS REALLY WORKING FINE!

Hi
I've tried the same with no luck - and posted the question numerous times without any useable replies. I've even sent a question (e-mail) to support - no answer.
At one time - with both MBM5, Speedfan and PCAlert installed and running it actually worked, but then I deinstalled and tried to install them one by one - and it never worked since.

MSI PM8M3-V rev. 1 - SpeedFan possible?

Using an old yet still working MSI PM8M3-V rev. 1 mainboard with Celeron D 336 2.8GHz (only 256k L2 - suxx) and I wanted to know, what temperature under Windows the CPU and chipset (possible even the mobo itself, it it have a temperature sensor) and HDD have.
So I turned out to trusty old SpeedFan.
Much to my surprise, the SpeedFan crash on "unknown software exception (0x0eedfade) on app into pace 0x7964a4e1." After that, it give a "Instruction at 0x00402780 trying to acces ram at 0x0119623c and that ram cannot be read." And after that it says "Runtime error 216 at 00402780."
And that it is. I tried the causual option for the SpeedFan executable /NOSMBSCAN and also tried the /SMBDEBUG, but it just crashing the very same way it did before. So, no change, no help.
Anyone had a success running SpeedFan on that board, or is there any small&nice software utility that I can use to check on the temps on this particular mobo, before I change caps on it?

Bernhard - well, I asked autor of HWiNFO and he told me, that HWiNFO did not yet have a definition file for this mainboard, so that is why the values are off the chart. I submited report and maybe the mobo get supported
The voltage values should at least correspond with these showed up in bios:
...and they did not. And in bios, there is only two temps showed up, so maybe the temperature of NB is not being read at all in this mobo. However stressing the mobo with Prime95 memory test cranked the "Auxiliary" temp from 47 to 49°C quite easily, so it might really be a NB temp. Someone more informed about this should give us heads up about it.
Does the VIA chipset contain a sensor or nope?
Vcpp feed to CPU? 3.7V? Overkill! Hard to believe, but bios show no value like this, so probably a useless value for deleting only.
eagle3 - funny, why then Alfredo did not just tell me that? Any BTW, I tried even version 4.37. Old enought? Crashed same way as the new 4.49 version...
And yes indeed, it is obvious that the HWiNFO need some serious reconfiguring. However no NB (or SB) temp found in bios... Some settings are interesting, but that it is.
For example the support for DDR2 rams (is this for real?!):

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and Speedfan configuration

I'm hoping someone else with a similar K8N Neo2 setup can compare Speedfan notes with me. I'm trying to figure out what maps to what, here's my best guess. Let me know if your best guess differs.
Temp1: System / Case temp
Temp2: CPU
Temp3: Northbridge
Local Temp: CPU Socket sensor
Remote Temp: nvidia 6800 GT GPU sensor
Fan1: Northbridge
Fan2: CPU
Fan3: no sensor
PWM1: Fan1/Northbridge speed control
PWM2: Fan2/CPU speed control
PWM3: Any ideas? I'm hoping this controls voltage for at least ONE of the fan headers on the motherboard, so I can control my case fans. If anyone knows, please fill me in.
Thanks!
Rich

C'mon people, doesn't anyone have more info about this subject? I have everything figured out but speed03 and or fan03. I can not seem to control my case fans, only my CPU and northbridge work. I have 2 of my case fans plugged into the mobo and are reading 2700rpms but I can't slow or speed them up no matter what I do. It would be nice to have the system fan controlled my case temps just like the CPU fan is
Is ther something in bios I have to enable or something?

MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum SpeedFan temp3 127C

Hi I recently assembled my computer and everything is working great. Then i decided to download speedfan just to check on the temperatures. It found one temperature to be 127C called temp3. It also shows that Temp3 is from a F71882F chip on an ISA bus with address $A00. I have no idea what any of that means. I am just looking for the source of the problem and how to fix it. Normally i would say this is just a bad value but today i tried running it with the side panel off and for the first minute or so there was some flux in the temperature but it only went from the 110-127 range. I have checked and it is not the GPU. Anyone know how i can find out where this is coming from?

Quote from: gage262 on 23-September-09, 11:18:17
Everest is showing that everything is fine/normal temps. The only reason temp3 worries me is because my room heats up really quick whenever I turn my computer on. I guess thats just something I'm going to have to deal with because if all the temperatures are fine then there isn't any other way to cool the system down.
I don't understand what you mean by this.

K8n Neo2 Platinum Temperatures way out (Bios 1.8)

I'm not sure how many others experience this issue, but the temps the mobo reports are way, way out on my mobo, even after having flashed the BIOS to version 1.8 (claims in patch notes to fix temp issues.)
Currrently the system is reporting a temperature of 28 degrees Celcius, after this system been running for 5 hours, at 100% load (Folding@Home). There is no way that could be possible! It would be nice, but tragically not true. This entirely messes up any attempts at automatic fan control from a software / motherboard BIOS end of things.
Oh.. processor is an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Winchester 90nm, using stock HSF (will be replaced over the weekend probably)

Quote from: Ike_69 on 21-June-05, 22:13:36
I installed a Arctic cooling Freezer 64 and another case fan at the same time I went to BIOS 1.8 and my temps stayed almost exactly the same. I would expect them to drop slightly, so that makes me think my temps went up a few degrees C with the new BIOS.
My CPU load temps are 54C now, but that is on a newcastle core so I think that is probably pretty close to correct.
Speedfan, MBM5, and Corecell all read within 1-2C of each other.
This is starting to shape up like the thread that I started about this shortly after 1.8 came out....My "beef" was an increase. Apologies to whomever started this one. Maybe something will come out of it though, since there was never an answer found one way or the other last time. That's what we're here for after all.
What I was trying to figure out is how much the Neo2 Plat's sensor is off now so I can correct for it in SpeedFan & the like. Because almost all of them on most boards are pretty inaccurate anyway. Some are better than others though, in that regard. What's odd is that most people say that their temps went DOWN with 1.8.
Strange
What's needed is someone with a proper temperature probe to get a reading at the CPU & compare the result to what is indicated. That's really the only way to know for sure. Unfortunately, I don't have access to that type of kit.
But if your load temp never exceeds the mid 50's, you're in good shape - especially if the "correction" value ends up being less than indicated.
What I've ended up doing for the time being, is setting SpeedFan to read what it did when I ran 1.5 (which had the "cold" boot temp bug) after a reboot. Which was 4C lower than what my 1.8 was/is reading (41-53C).
Now the range falls between 37-48C - almost exactly what I was running after the 1.5 "reboot remedy" & totally in line with my cooling solution (XP-90) and the amount of CPU v. that I use (1.45).
I hope I'm right... But I'll settle for being close.

MSI Neo4 Platinum chipset fan and SpeedFan

is there anyway to get SpeedFan to adjust the speed the Northbridge chipset? I can see the speed but cannot adjust it.

Quote from: olson on 22-February-05, 00:46:05
i never used the fan on the northbridge
out of the box installed this one
http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.asp?idx=71&code=014
no sound: temp 30 degrees
should be acceptable
no crashes at all
Olaf
Where are you getting the tempreading? The tempreading in Speedfan must be wrong because, with fan it says 10-12 Celcius wich could be around 30 real degrees. If YOU are reading 30 (fake) degrees i think you got somewhat more. 80-90 or so... I tried unplugging my fan for 5 minutes and after that you couldnt put a finger on the small heatsink around the fan without getting burned.

Speedfan Settings/Tutorial

I had posted a while back about Speedfan settings and I thought I would leave an update for anyone out there who would rather use something other than Corecenter. Since I got Speedfan working the way I want it, I have no use for Corecenter at all.
Here's the settings you need to let Speedfan control your CPU fan like Corecenter on the MSI K8T Neo FIS2R with the retail heatsink on a 3200+ Clawhammer. This worked for me and it should work for you too, but I make no guarantees...proceed at your own risk
On the Readings tab, make sure there is a check mark in the "Automatic fan speed block". Then click Configure.
On this screen, go to the Temperatures tab.
The available temperature readings will be listed. Temp 1 is the motherboard temp and Temp 2 is the CPU temp on my board.
If your hard drive supports it, there will be a hard drive temp as well. I recommend checking all boxes.
Click on the text "Temp 2" and some fields will open at the bottom.
I have my desired temp as 35 C and my warning temp as 55 C. Adjust accordingly for Newcastles. Put a checkmark in "Show in Tray".
Expand Temp 2 with the plus mark and put a check in both boxes (Speed01 and Speed02).
Next, go to the Fans tab. On this screen, Fan01 is the CPU fan for my board (plugged into the motherboard for it to control).
Be sure there is a check in box for Fan01.
Go to the Speeds tab and put a check mark in both boxes (Speed01 and Speed02).
Click on the actual text "Speed01" and new fields will appear at the bottom. Make the minimum 1% and the maximum 100% and put a check mark in the box for "Automatically variated".
Do the same for "Speed02".
Go to the Options tab and set the "Delta value for fan speeds to 10" and put a check in the box for "Set fans to 100 percent on program exit".
Go to the Advanced Tab and click on the drop down box.
Select the Winbond Sensor.
Change PWM 1 Mode and PWM 2 Mode to "Manual PWM Control" if they aren't set to that already and put a check in the "remember it" box.
Make sure PWM 1 Enable and PWM 2 Enable are set to "ON".
Add Speedfan to your Windows Start-up and say good bye to Corecenter.
This has worked great for me so far. If you like living on the edge, you can change the minimum fan speed to 0 percent. I did this and it will actually stop the CPU fan completely when the CPU is at idle. At first I thought it just got below what the sensor could read, but it actually stopped it. You'd be surprised how cool this runs at idle without the fan moving. However, I leave the minimum at 1 percent just to be safe.
Any comments....did I miss anything?

Hey, thanks for those speedfan tips. I was getting sick of corecenter alarming for no discernable reason on bootup occasionally.
I found these extra steps were necessary on my system. Seems corecenter chooses some better values for the parameters on the winbond sensor. speedfan wanted to default the divisors to 2 and the PMWOUT1 clock to 93.xKhz which meant sys fan always read 0, and cpu fan never read below 3000rpm.
Go to the Advanced Tab and click on the drop down box.
Select the Winbond Sensor.
Change FAN1 divisor to 8, check "remember it"
Change FAN2 divisor to 8, check "remember it"
Change PMWOUT1 Clock to 6.3Khz, check "remember it"
I also changed Temperature 2 Offset to 10, as on my system the CPU temp reads ~25C when idle, while the system temp reads 35C. It seems more realistic to me to have CPU temp close to sys temp at least.
Another tip, if you double click on the "Temp 1", "Temp 2", "Fan 1" etc labels under the Temperatures, Fans and Speeds tabs you can change the name from "Temp 2" to something more meaningful like "CPU".
Corecenter is gone...
Thanks for the tips, now my fan speed will drop to the 1500 range. Before, it would only get down to like 2300. What purpose does the PMWOUT1 Clock serve? Why does it need to be lowered? By the way, the double click method for changing labels doesn't work for me, but the F2 key method mentioned by Frankenputer does. Thanks again.

SpeedFan 4.29 is out
