Speedfan problems

[TW]Fox · 20 Oct 2009 at 12:50

Hi guys,

Trying to use the latest version of Speedfan with Windows 7 64bit.

I load it up, it detects everything and then hangs.

Any ideas?

Tried compatibility mode? Run with admin privileges?

This ^ Worked for me

It's being run in admin mode and still crashes when I run it in Compatability Mode

mines running fine without the compat mode here on win7 64 bit
but if crashing then try what the others have said n see if it sorts it

edit
could be a piece of hardware it doesnt like that making it crash, just a thought.
im running v 4.39 of speedfan which is latest version i think

Same here, 4.39 works a treat! retail version of Win764. Without admin privileges it can't read the HDs though..

Yeah, mine is working fine when I install it. Latest version, on Windows 7 Pro.

Get the latest beta, I am on 4.4 Beta5 and it works flawlessly on WIn7 x64. I do not use UAC though and with UAC enabled even with admin rights to Speedfan I get no SMART reporting at all so don't use UAC.

Is it a case it works only with certain motherboards? I've moved from an Asus one to a Gigabyte, and it no longer allows any sort of control

mrk · 21 Oct 2009 at 02:12

GA boards are fine, I have an EP45-UD3P but you need to know some boards only allow certain fan headers to be Voltage controlled, the others are PWM - mine for example only allows one header to be voltage regulated so software can control it, the CPU fan can also be voltage controlled but only when set to Voltage control in BIOS else it's set to PWM mode.

Your mobo is likely the same.

My fans all run at 50% anyway though so everything is quiet.

Programs hanging is classic behaviour for APIC problems, try disabling monitoring settings in the BIOS one by one, including S.M.A.R.T.

Still got this problem despite a complete renistall of Windows. Also happens on my other system.

Both machines run an IP35 Pro - coincidence?

What version of speedfan are you running?

Also if you click on the system tray icon as it loads you can see at which probe it gets stuck on.

It may possibly be a compatibility issue with your board. My system hangs when i try and use speedfan and after googling i realised it happens to everyone with the same DFI motherboard. Is there any Abit utility which will give you the information you need?

Realtemp works with W7 64.

I gave up in the end and went back to the old version.
