Si la caractéristique principale de SpeedFan est de contrôler la vitesse de rotation des ventilateurs en fonction de la température à l'intérieur de votre pc afin d'en réduire le bruit, SpeedFan est également capable d'interroger un grand nombre de composants de "monitoring" utilisés dans les PC dans le but de leur faire révéler toutes sortes d'informations utiles (températures, vitesses de rotation, voltage, ...).
Vous aurez accès très simplement à la vitesse de rotation des ventilateurs (processeur, boîtier, carte graphique) ainsi que la température de certaines sondes (processeur, disque dur...).
SpeedFan reconnaît un très grand nombre de composants (y compris sur le matériel récent). En revanche, si votre ordinateur ne possède pas de sonde ou si elles ne sont pas reconnues, SpeedFan sera incapable de vous fournir les informations.
Simple et efficace, SpeedFan fait très bien son travail. Maintenant ce n'est pas le genre de logiciel indispensable au quotidien mais qui mérite tout de même d'être dans votre trousse à outils.
Vous pourrez passer le logiciel en français depuis les options du programme.
