SpeedFan 4.50
Copyright 2000-2014 by Alfredo Milani-Comparetti ([e-mail])

You can find SpeedFan 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. data and temperatures from EIDE, SATA and SCSI hard
disks (connected in several RAID setups too).

Disclaimer:
SpeedFan has been thoroughly tested, but you should know that low level access to the
hardware of a PC can lead to unexpected results.

How to setup:
Use the installer and read the HELP FILE.

Feedback:
Feel free to contact me at [e-mail] 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.
Thank you :-)

     - 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

     - 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% :-))

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 detection and full support for MC1066

     - 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 :-))
4.01 - the last PWM (SPEED) can be properly set once again (thank you Sander for
       making me notice it :-))
     - added an option to choose between CELSIUS and FAHRENHEIT when showing
       temperatures

     - properly reported IT8693F voltages
     - CPU USAGE is now shown on the main window and supports multiprocessor
       systems too
     - added CPU speed computation (it works only for processors after and
       including Pentium I, but it appears to be extremely precise :-))
     - minimum and maximum fan SPEED settings are now selectable in 1 increments
     - reported samples now show their measure units

     - added support for PC87366 PWMs
     - fixed detection and usage of VT8231 and VT8233 SMBus
     - slightly changed SEND REPORT when probing SMBus

     - completely rewritten tray icon support
     - tray icon background and text colors are now fully configurable
     - IT8705/IT8712 voltages' readings are now enabled if BIOS didn't
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
     - current PWM values (speeds) are updated after RESUME
     - confirmed full support for variating fan speeds with SMSC LPC47M13X
     - added preliminary detection for a lot of new SMSC and NATIONAL SuperIO
       chips
     - fixed MTP008 fan speed reporting
     - fixed an error with PWM readings from ADM1021
     - redesigned the REPORT PREVIEW dialog

       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

     - 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 detect IT8703F
     - added full support for ALi M1533 South Bridge

     - 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
     - GL518SM should be fixed at last! this chip drove me crazy, but I found a
       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

     - 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 :-)

       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)
     - if a sensor is detected on ISA and then found again on SMBus, that SMBus
       address is no longer probed for other sensors
     - tried to distinguish between VIA686A and VIA686B

       ICH0 and ICH2
     - DIMM INFO memo box is now READ ONLY :-)
     - FANx% are now properly disabled according to sensor capabilities
     - trying to ignore spurious high values for fan readings
     - fan readings are now reduced to one third as they are only informational and
       not vital, thus reducing BUS overhead
     - almost completely rewritten INTEL SMBus support
     - enabled support for Intel ICH2 SouthBridge (I wrote "AB" instead of "BA" in the
       code)... all CUSL2 users should be happy now :-) thanx to Massimiliano Battaglia
       for extensive testing and debugging!
     - added an option to specify your motherboard model when sending a report (please,
       use this feature :-))
     - added a preliminary detection routine for LM75 and LM78
     - negative temperatures should be handled properly now
2.03 - VENDOR ID=$FFFF and CHIP ID=$FF are no longer shown as detected
     - fixed a minor bug that caused two sensors to seem to be detected when they have
       got the same CHIP ID (like some from ASUS and WINBOND) (thanx to Aaron Larson)
     - removed a lot of debug messages from SMBus (mostly 'reset' and 'NOT completed')
     - added a filter on collected values (for temperatures) in order to ignore single
       peak readings that are obviously wrong
     - added FAN2 control for AS99127F (thanx again to Carlo Adami)
     - by popular demand :-) info on the main page are now put in a memo and can be
       cutted&pasted :-)
     - when in debug mode, the main page shows which southbridge has been detected
     - VT82C596 southbridge has been removed from the supported list as it has been
       reported not to work properly :-(
     - added a button for sending a report without having to cut and paste :-) you are
       not forced to specify an email address, but it would be of use in case you
       expect some support
2.02 - done extensive testing with SMBus and PIIX4E
 b1  - buffered all UI values to lower CPU usage
     - extensive testing of the new fan speeds' changing strategy
     - DIMM INFO seem to work fine though I'm not sure if it will work with every DIMM
     - starting tests to use AS99127F ($31), W83781D and W83782D fan ON/OFF
     - trying to use register $59 to control FAN1 on AS99127F ChipID=$5CA3, ID=$31 and
       ChipID=$12C3, ID=$31
     - preliminary AS99127F fan speed changing support thanx to Carlo Adami!
     - should have been fixed an overflow that led to showing -256MB with 256MB DIMMs
     - removed SCAN PCI FOR CHIPSET checkbox as it was a safety measure in case
       something didn't work properly with it, but nobody ever reported any problem
2.00 - added SUPERBETA DIMM readings to check SMBus functionality
 b5  - added AMD756 SMBus support
     - AMD756 support starts working!
     - buffered some UI values to lower CPU usage and improve reliability
     - Winbond sensors' detection routine shows ChipId and VendId for unknown sensors
     - DIMM info now shows a message if no info is found
     - tested with INTEL 82801AA
     - completely rewritten the logic that changes fan speeds
2.00 - added a checkbox to enable DEBUG MODE that will issue more info in the message
 b2    box
     - added PCI SCANNING to enable CHIPSET detection
     - added preliminary SMBus support for Intel PIIX4 and Intel PIIX4E
     - increased compatibility with other monitoring software
     - preliminary AMD756 detection
     - preliminary INTEL ICH 82801AA/AB/BA detection
     - preliminary VIA VT82C686A support
     - preliminary VIA VT82C596 support
     - completely rewritten sensor detection routines
     - avoided a FLOATING POINT ERROR
     - tested with Intel PIIX4tested with VIA VT82C686
     - tested with Winbond W83783S
     - added USE ISA BUS and USE SMBus options
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)
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
0.95 - improved taskbar font appearance
     - taskbar icon is update only when necessary
     - taskbar appearance is now stored in INI
     - added option to set fans at full speed on program exit
     - SYS and DLL are now searched in the executable directory
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)
     - used an internal font to show temperature 1 on the taskbar
     - added support for WINBOND W83627HF
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
0.90 - first public release
