Best program to see the speed of your fans? Apparently speedfan is a piece of shyt now and and/or is full of malware.

I'm on windows 8.1. Corsair link doesn't work for whatever reason (I'm looking into it, but if you all know about something better please let me know)

Thanks, I actually use that to monitor temps. That shyt isn't showing all my fans either for some reason. I'm giving speedfan a try again. I found a non-malware version
do your fans go through your mobo, or some other controller?

half through my motherboard, where I can see the speeds in my bios, half through a controller where I can see the speeds on the external screen. I just want to see the speeds of the mobo fans when I'm in windows.



Speedfan didn't work either, it's not showing the fans. It's a piece of shyt too. It thinks my CPU is at 128C :dead:

hmmm... hwmonitor should show the speeds of any fans hooked up to your mobo. it could be some weird compatibility issue between your mobo and hwmonitor. it got the voltages all wrong with my old mobo

hmmm, maybe that's it....I'm editing my registry to get corsair link to work properly (hopefully).

Thanks for your help

Winter is usually crazier...the sale is coming.

Prepare early...start funding your steam wallet now or else you will pay
