SpeedFan 4.20
Copyright 2000-2005 by Alfredo Milani-Comparetti (alfredo@almico.com)
There are so many changes every time that I release a new version that I've chosen to
update mainly the web page. Currently it's located at:
http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php
What it does:
SpeedFan is a freeware program that monitors fan speeds and temperatures in computers with
a known monitoring chip. Its main feature is that it can control the speed of the fans
according to the temperatures inside your pc, thus reducing noise and power consumption.
SpeedFan can also access S.M.A.R.T. HD data and temperatures (if available).
How to setup:
Use the installer and read the HELP FILE.
Feedback:
Feel free to contact me at alfredo@almico.com if you've got any question or suggestion or
discover any strange behaviour.
I would like to receive an e-mail from those of you who try and find useful my program.
Not much: just a line of text.
Thanx for your attention :-)
History:
0.90 - first release
0.92 - added basic taskbar icon showing temperature 1
- buffered taskbar icons to speed up repainting
- set to 100 the upper limit for fan speeds
0.94 - DLL and SYS files are searched in the same directory as the EXE (in earlier
releases they were searched in a fixed path, causing some users to be unable
to run the program properly)

- added support for WINBOND W83627HF
0.95 - improved taskbar font appearance
- taskbar icon is update only when necessary
- taskbar appearance is now stored in INI

0.96 - if it's impossible to find SYS and DLL files in the EXE directory, then they're
searched in default directories
- Gudjon Adalsteinsson submitted a bug in processing WARNING TEMPERATURES when the
temperature index was different from fan index: now it's fixed
1.00 - fan speed readings can be limited by a user defined value useful when bad values
are retrieved from sensors)
- added a user definable value for the delta value used to increase or lower fan
speeds (useful for those of you with CPUs that change their temperature very
quickly)

- the trayicon now limits its values from -99 to 99 and properly shows negative
values
- added full support for LM78
- added preliminary LM79 voltages' readings

think)
- I hope the tray icon is ok now :-)
- default minimum value for fan speeds is now set to 0%
- fan speeds are no longer variated as a default (you must enable them); I
had to set it this way because a lot of users reported they couldn't change
fan speeds, but it was due to the fact that SF was restoring them to
appropriate values (according to temperature readings)

- SMBus failed transactions are now retried when they first fail
- written a DOC to illustrate how to configure SpeedFan :-)
- I've been told (thank you Alfred!) that on "ASUS A7V266, rev 1.06, BIOS
v1002" you need to set CPU THERMAL OPTION, in your BIOS, to SHUTDOWN in
order for SpeedFan to be able to variate fan speeds. Let me know about your
experience :-)
3.07 - I've completely rewritten the installation procedure.
Actually, now, there is none :-)
You should no longer need to put any needed file nowhere, as SpeedFan is
able to recreate them on the fly :-)
- DLPORTIO.SYS and DLPORTIO.DLL need not to be manually put anywhere as
SpeedFan should be able to recreate them if missing
- fixed a bug with label when disabling ALL fans or ALL temps or ALL voltages
or ALL speeds; if you try to reproduce this bug, please remember to check
the fans each temperature is supposed to use; please note that this is not
a bug in my code, but a "feature" from the compiler :-)
- fixed an exception when sending a report using WinXP
- GIVEIO.SYS needs not to be manually put anywhere as SpeedFan should be able
to recreate it if missing, to install it as a service (under NT, 2k, XP) if
not yet done and to start it if stopped :-)
- autoinstalled GIVEIO.SYS if needed
- changed icons: I know I'm not good with graphics, but I hope you will
appreciate the effort :-) By the way: drawing a fan with THOSE 16 colors is
not that easy :-)
- /SUPERIO command line parameter has been removed: now SuperIO detection
starts by default (I've done several tests with no reported crash :-)). If
you need to disable SuperIO detection, use the /NOSUPERIO parameter instead
- startup SMBus detection is now much faster; it you realize that some of
your sensors are not properly detected, please use the /SLOWDETECT command
line parameter and let me know

be able to create a faster startup sensor detection; PLEASE SEND AS MANY
REPORTS AS POSSIBLE)
- ADM1025 properly initialized if not yet enabled
- fixed ADM9240, DS1780 and LM81 initialization
- fixed a problem when setting PWMs
- reversed PWM max and min logic on IT8712F: the datasheet says nothing on
this subject, so I had to guess :-)
- ADM9240, DS1780 and LM81 are properly initialized if not yet enabled
- minor debugging changes to INTEL and VIA SMBus routines
- added preliminary detection for FMS2701 (PLEASE REPORT)
3.08 - restored the proper use of MUTEXes: this should fix the problems when
running SF together with other hardware monitoring softwares. I don't know
how it could happen, but the compiler put an "END." in the wrong place,
thus removing my INITIALIZATION routine
- W83601R now properly reports its revision

- trying to access LPC47N252 PWMs
- preliminary MAX6650 fan speed reporting
- added support for DELL NOTEBOOKS. If you can't variate fan speeds with
the controls on the main window, you might try to check the DELL option
in the configuration dialog. This is actually something that works on
DELLs, but there is no official info on this subject. It is based on a
research from Michael Henze. It has been successfully tested on Latitude
CPi D266XT and Inspiron 8000. Please, let me know if it works on your DELL
- better detection of problems when sending reports

PC with it and, finally, understood what was causing the problem :-)
- added preliminary MAX6655 detection (PLEASE REPORT)
- revised VIA SMBus support
- added full support for LPC47N252 PWMs (tested on a DELL INSPIRON 8000,
even though it's not that useful as I was unable to find any temperature
sensor...)
- trying to enable PMU on ALi M1533, M1543 and M1535D/D+ if not yet enabled

temperatures
4.02 - new detection routine for WINBOND chips
- fixed a bug in the CONFIGURATION dialog that prevented some users from
accessing all available options when using large fonts on some video cards
- by popular demand, I've added online a list of motherboards that are know
to change fan speeds
- restored and verified full support for W83697HF PWMs. I managed to figure
out how to use them by walking through those million errors on the
datasheet :-)
- previous releases could issue a "WARNING : GIVEIO.SYS not started" without
informing that the following second attempt actually succeeded. Now
everything is more informative :-)
- fixed a bug when too many temperatures are detected
- added preliminary handling of specific sensors' options (you can find them,
for a few Winbond sensor chips, in the configuration dialog under the
ADVANCED tab)
- added support for ALi M1535D+ from ALi Cyber ALADDiN
- added support for DELL CPU temperature and for fan speeds, even if these
readings are the result of some hacks and not the result of a public
datasheet. Any info from DELL would be much appreciated. Anyway, please
note that reported temperatures seem to be REALLY HIGH. I wouldn't play with
fan speeds if not absolutely sure. But so many of you asked for DELL
support, so... now you should have it :-)
- configuration option named ENABLE DELL FANS has been changed to ENABLE DELL
SUPPORT

- added preliminary support for PC87363
- added a new command line parameter (/TIGERMP) to add full support for TYAN
TigerMP
- fixed a bug when associating PWMs that could lead to a DEBUG message
- added /NOTIMER command line parameter that will avoid SpeedFan from updating
values. This option is useful to see if SpeedFan is able to properly detect
your hardware and stop right after having done that
- added /NOSMARTSCAN command line parameter. This option will force SpeedFan
not to probe S.M.A.R.T. devices. This is useful if you're having problems at
program startup right after HD probing. This has occurred a couple of times
and the reason should be in a bad driver for the HD controller
- fixed "PROCESSOR PERFORMANCE OBJECT NOT FOUND" error. Now it is trapped and
a nice message is displayed. CPU usage won't be available, but everything
else will be
- decoded some additional info about DIMMs
- added preliminary support for ServerWorks OSB4 (I need reports)
- added preliminary support for WINBOND W83L784 (I need reports here, as
datasheets, guess what?, are incomplete, missing or full of errors :-))
4.04 - created full installer/uninstaller
- completely removed DLPORTIO
- the installer can remove the DLPORTIO service if it was previously installed
- documentation has been moved to CHM format and so it no longer requires
WORD :-)
- properly detected W83L784R
- preliminary detection for W83L785R
- full support for MAX6657 and MAX6659
- trying to avoid duplicated detection of the W83627HF on TYANs
- fixed an error that caused the PERFORMANCE indicator for S.M.A.R.T. drives
to return too high a value if nothing was wrong (this error is mostly
cosmetic and nobody could see it, as it was rounded to 100% even if it was,
internally, reporting 10000% :-))
- added full support for ALi M1535D/D+ fan control
- added support for FDC37N972
- minor fixes to DELL support
- removed the third FAN DIVISOR setting in ADVANCED CONFIGURATION for W83697HF

- fixed W83L784R voltage readings
4.05 - added full support for SIS635, SIS645, SIS735, SIS740 and SIS745. This
means, for example, that you can read values from your ASUS P4S333 :-)
- added support for FSB changing. Currently there are only a few motheboards
and PLLs that are supported. On my ABIT BP6, LUCKY STAR 6LX2 and ECS K7S5A
it's working pretty fine :-)
- WINBOND W83791SD is now properly detected, thus avoiding detection of
unknown chips at the same address

4.06 - changed detection routine for MAX1617
- properly detected and handled SiS961
- completely rewritten the configuration file. This is a major update I've been
working on for a long time. This new configuration file properly handles
computers where hardware monitoring devices appear and disappear and/or are
swapped out (like S.M.A.R.T. HDDs).
You should consider deleting SPEEDFANSENS.CFG before running this new release.
- refined the configuration file: now it stores advanced properties set in the
configuration dialog (ADVANCED tab)
- ADVANCED configuration supports IT8712F temperature sensors mode
- ADVANCED configuration supports IT8693F, IT8702F and IT8712F fan divisors
- added full support for W83637HF
- slightly revisited S.M.A.R.T. window to better show info reported by HDs with
a lot of attributes
- S.M.A.R.T. attributes are now shown with an icon telling the status of
individual relevant attributes (STOP below 10%, WARNING below 40% and OK
otherwise). Other attributes are only informative and an icon has no reason to
be :-)
- added support for SIS645DX (the one on ASUS P4S533)
- fixed MTP008 PWMs and voltages readings
- added full support for SIS650
- fixed hibernation support
