I would like a simple Windows program that can display the temperature of the computer's components and also show fan speed.

Any suggestions of a good and preferrably free (as in free beer) program?

I've would've gone with glass thermometer but it isn't as soft as needed... :) – egon Feb 11 at 11:13

Speedfan does all that.

SpeedFan at the moment is the best – marco.ragogna Jul 15 at 14:53
SpeedFan was simple to install, shows all interesting temperatures and fan speeds. Has some more functinality but this is hidden away in other tabs. – Jonas Jul 15 at 15:04

I prefer MBM5. Here's a good link for information on it: http://www.thetechrepository.com/showthread.php?t=74

Perhaps a bit to much work to install for my taste. – Jonas Jul 15 at 15:00

Motherboard Monitor is a free app that has lots of tools including Temps, fan speed and core voltage. It is a slight pain to configure correctly, but otherwise a great tool.

It looks like MBM is a dead project though (last update was in 2006) in which case, Wikipedia suggests Speedfan and CoreTemp

Hmm... Seems CoreTemp can't detect all the temp sensors, otherwise it had a very simple GUI. – Jonas Jul 15 at 15:03
