   The one and only  web site for SpeedFan  is and will always be www.almico.com .
   Please, visit it. This website is from the same author of SpeedFan (Alfredo Milani Comparetti) and it is a placeholder to
   point to the original one.
   
   SpeedFan is a freeware tool that can let you have a deeper view of the status of your computer. Most
   computers manufactured in the recent years include support for hardware monitoring. Accessing such
   resources is really useful. If you are trying to figure out why your pc hangs when heavily stressed,
   or after some hours of usage, SpeedFan might help you to find the real cause. Very often it is a poor
   power supply, or an improperly installed heatsink that lead to behaviours that we tend to associate
   with errors from the operating system, but that are not. SpeedFan automatically searches your hardware
   for interesting chips. The hardware monitor chips. SpeedFan can expose voltages,
   fan speeds and temperatures. On rare occasions, the BIOS didn't activate
   such features. SpeedFan tries to enable them as long as this is a safe thing to do. Not only the
   motherboard is searched, but also some video cards and almost every recent hard disk. SpeedFan can
   access health info from EIDE, SATA and even SCSI drives, showing, in a consistent way,
   internal data that can be used to diagnose current and future hard disk failures. This is known as
   S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology). On
   some hardware, SpeedFan is even able to change the Front Side Bus (FSB) depending on CPU usage, but
   this should be considered as a bonus feature. At the lowest level, SpeedFan is an hardware monitor
   software that can access temperature sensors, but its main feature is
   that it can control fan speeds according to the temperatures inside your pc, thus
   reducing noise and power consumption.
