I don’t like f.luz. it just slows down my pc. It uses a lot of RAM. This is the first time i heard about speedfan, it looks cool!

I am glad that you like F.lux as much as I do. I have been using for several months now.

I am very much impress by speed fan. They really work for me. However my old motherboard unable to give all those functionality due to some of its problem. I really like other posts as well. Good try to mention some techie sites. Hope you will mention about it’s updated status in next post

I have indeed used speed fan before and I was quite impressed. I don’t use it now because the default drivers I have already give me most of that functionality, yet it’s still a very useful program.

Regardless, still a highly recommended program for those that don’t otherwise have software to already do that stuff for them.

Hey
at first moment reading and thinking about them I felt they were not what could help me. But after giving it a try I feel this is something which helps me operating my machine.

Good applications

As for F.lux

At first I don’t appreciate this idea. I always liked the contrast and bright colors, never wanted to reduce color temperature. But it worked! My eyes really feel better. Now I reduced color temperature in the monitor settings too.

So – thanks!!

Umm… This is seriously the four apps you name that every computer user should know about? Not a notepad replacement, or explorer add-on, but something that adjusts fan-speed? Really? … Wow.

Also, most users aren’t using Firefox or Winamp or gmail. They use IE, OE & WMP because that’s what’s installed on their machine.

@John L

SpeedFan is toy for techies and indeed has rather clunky settings. :) Here is another post of mine that tries to explain fan control setup.

Can’t claim it does perfectly, but still try it and tell me if any issuues remain unclear. :)

John I agree that Speedfan displays many information in a way that only computer geeks understand. Not all information presented are needed however to work with the program. Some values should be self explanatory, like HD0, HD1, Core 0 while others are more difficulty to decipher like Temp1, Temp2, Temp3, Temp. A click on configure will reveal additional information about each value. You can use this information to identify hard drives and the Temp values.

Rarst wrote a nice article about Speedfan here at Ghacks as well www.ghacks.net/2008/08/07/analyzing-drive-health-with-speedfan/

I like the idea of Speedfan but have never found anyone who appears to know how to use it. Almost every article appears to give different information on how to use it making me wonder if people are just guessing. I have tried it three times over the years, my motherboard is supported but I cannot find out to what items it is referring to and no adjustment has any effect so I end up uninstalling it every time. There appears to be a gap in the market for a product of this type that is much easier to use and, in my case, actually works.

All those comments labeled “This comment was originally posted on Twitter” are worthless.

Why do you need to show them? At least segregate them from the useful comments!
