I've found that while Speedfan works in many instances, there are times where is doesn't. For example, it works great on my Intel DG33FB motherboards, but not on the very similar DG35EC boards. It also doesn't work on my Dell laptops, or on my Supermicro motherboard based system. So, for whatever reason it seems somewhat hit or miss. By work, I mean the ability to control anything. It seemed to install properly on all the systems, but when it is executed, it just shows temps and such, but no ability to control anything. Not knocking it, at all, and when it works I love it, because it is a better option than the limited or worse options that come with most system boards.

Sounds like you didnt properly configure SpeedFan, I've used it on all my builds. It's not one of those install and it magically works programs. LOL

That just about reflects my experience with Speedfan. Much rather rely on something that has a physical electrical connection, even if it is a fan speed controller with thermistors stuck with thermal adhesive to things like the heatsinks.

I think you'd enjoy GRID+ (from NZXT).
