]]> Fans are essential components of our computer. Especially when we need to make intensive use of our resources. Whether it is when we play games or perform editing tasks, our PC tends to heat up. Therefore, the use of fans is essential to clear the heat. It is therefore important to have programs that allow us to control the speed of the fans. The PC we use every day is made up of numerous hardware elements. Some are more essential than others, but they must always be there. In fact, we know that the fans are part of our computer. However, we do not give them the importance they deserve, which is a lot.

Why should we control fans speed?

Perhaps at first many of you may find it a bit strange to have the need to control the speed of these components in particular. However, depending on the type of use we make of the computer, this is something that can become basic. Keeping some control of the speed is essential if you normally use your PC to the maximum. This is often the case if we play the latest titles released. Also, if we carry out tasks related to 3D design and high quality video processing, etc.

It is obvious that in these cases the PC hardware is more strained than usual. Therefore, proper internal ventilation can safeguard its integrity and improve its performance. Therefore, we can deduce that the fans will be in charge of the temperature of both the CPU and other internal components. That is why controlling everything related to the temperature of the computer is ideal for its proper management. This way, we can be sure that the internal temperature of our PC is correct. This will have a positive influence on its performance and a longer useful life of our equipment.

On the other hand, Windows, by default, does not have any tool that allows you to control the speed of the fans of your PC. Therefore, we will have to use a third-party tool to carry out this important task. Windows does not include any tool to manage the speed of the fans. In fact, it is the system that automatically takes care of knowing the temperature at all times based on the workload that it is supporting. Therefore, it also orders, if necessary, to increase the speed to increase the cooling speed of the equipment so that the equipment’s performance is not affected at specific times.

Programs for Windows

We make this list focusing on performance, interface and also price. Let’s take a look at some of the best options.

Speedfan

It is a program that is in charge of monitoring the voltage, speed, and temperature of our PC. With it, it is possible to access the S.M.A.R.T. to obtain information and display the hard disk temperature. Its main mission is based on accessing the temperature sensors and thus changing the fan speed and reducing the annoying noise. Likewise, It works with Windows in practically all its versions from 9x to Windows 11, as well as in 64 bits systems. Within its central panel, we can observe all the internal temperature data of our computer. By activating the Automatic fan speed checkbox, we can adjust the fan speed to our computer’s requirements.

NoteBook FanControl

This software has been designed to obtain total control over the speed of our laptop. It runs in the background from the taskbar. From it, we will be able to assign different configurations depending on the model and manufacturer of our laptop. It is also compatible with popular brands such as Sony, Lenovo, Packard Bell, HP, Dell, Asus, and Acer. The program offers us the possibility to enable or disable hot fan control. It also offers a real-time CPU temperature reading without affecting our use and productivity by its configuration.

There is only one problem. If we don’t know how to handle it correctly, we can end up burning our laptop the moment we squeeze the CPU and have the fan paralyzed. Indeed, unlike a desktop computer, laptops require constant cooling because there is no place to dissipate heat.

Argus Monitor

This powerful program allows you to perform a wide range of tasks. In fact, it goes beyond controlling the fan speed, and we can also adjust various aspects of the system and the motherboard. With it, we can visualize and control the system fan speeds. For this purpose, it displays a graph of the hard disk temperature. All the fan control can be done from the Mainboard tab, in the Control Vent section. Here to control the speed we will have a manual control. It is also available a programmed control which is in charge of doing it for us.

Open Hardware Monitor

This open source software is responsible for monitoring temperature sensors, fan speed, load, and clock speeds of the computer. It is also compatible with most hardware monitoring chips found on today’s motherboards. It can run on any version of Windows from XP to Windows 11, on 32-bit and 64-bit systems, as well as on x86-based Linux systems without installation. All values monitored by the application can be displayed both in the main window and in the system tray.

Fancontrol by Rem0o makes use of Libre Hardware Monitor to access temperature sensor information in conjunction with HWiNFO. Very well, this concludes our list of programs to control computer fans. Bye!

]]> Hello, I was recently working on my computer when it suddenly shut down. In effect, the power was disconnected for no apparent external reason. Since there was no power failure. Therefore, it was an internal problem with the computer. So I waited a while and tried to turn it on again. What happened is that it was on for a moment and then turned off again. Consequently, I proceeded to check the internal functioning of the hardware. Indeed, the CPU fan cooler was stuck. Therefore, it was not cooling the processor. Most computers have an emergency shutdown. That is, when a certain value is reached, then it shuts down as a precaution. Consequently, it is important to know the hardware temperature. See here how to measure the CPU temperature in Windows 10.

How to check the CPU temperature in Windows 10.

Windows 10 does not provide a native app to measure processor temperature. Or even of any other hardware element. Therefore, it is necessary to resort to third-party programs:

Core Temp

First, we will talk about Core Temp. This free app is lightweight and serves its purpose faithfully. It shows the processor temperature in real-time. Besides, it has the advantage of showing the values in the taskbar. It even shows color patterns according to the temperature level. Therefore, the user can constantly monitor the temperature of the computer. In addition, the tool indicates the temperature of each of the processor cores.

This tool can be downloaded for free from the following link. However, the installer tries to sneak in bloatware. Therefore, be alert at the time of installation.

Speed Fan

This program is similar in features to the previous one. However, its operation is more complete. It not only shows the CPU temperature. In fact, the program shows the temperature of the hard disk and the graphics processor.

SpeedFan also allows you to view values of voltages and fan speeds. It even allows you to modify the fan speed. This tool is ready to be downloaded for free from here.

HWMonitor

HWMonitor is an application compatible with all current CPU developers. When executed, it provides detailed information about various elements. For example, fan speed, the temperature of cores and processors, etc. To use it, download it from here.

The interface shows in detail each component with its respective speed and temperature. It even allows you to update drivers and BIOS from the menu.

HWinfo

This is one of the most complete programs for monitoring computer temperatures. Besides being free, it has a portable version. So it is not necessary to install it. On startup, it displays various computer temperature values. Hard disks, CPU, Graphics card (GPU), Motherboard, Power supply. In general, it displays information about any device connected to the computer. We can even know the voltages of the components and the revolutions per minute of the fans.

Well, we have seen how to measure the CPU processor temperature in Windows 10. In addition, several options offer data from other components. This way you can take care of the performance and health of your computer. See you soon!
