Screengrab Unless you really know what you're doing, most computer users do not attempt to fiddle around with their BIOS settings, never mind opening up their PC and changing jumper settings for their onboard system, graphics card or drive fans. This doesn't always mean your PC has been configured correctly. There are many scenarios where you're using your computer and the fan is on constantly, inconsistently or not at all, leading to a rather warm machine. Not ideal if you're trying to use a laptop.

SpeedFan 4.33 is a tool that will examine every aspect of your PC and determine whether a fan setting is turned off or configured incorrectly. Where possible, it will enable you to turn on (or off) these settings or alter them to suit your configuration.
