Summary0001974: Advanced settings works partially when running speedfan as service
DescriptionI had repeatedly verified the following issue exist on my setup:

Steps I've done:

1. Setup Speedfan as normal.
2. Make "advanced" configuration on my PWMs, which I have made 3 entries
3. Setup Speedfan service via http://skipyrich.com/wiki/SpeedFan_Service

The result is when I run speedfan directly, it works absolute fine and all the advanced settings are applied.

But when I run it as a service, only the first 2 entries are applied, but the 3rd entry is never activated.

Any clue what's wrong? I can help testing.

Step (2) means that you created 3 fan controllers?

yes right, I have 2 chassis fans and 1 fan on the GPU card.

So I was setting up 3 fans in the "advanced mode".

To my understanding, the only copy of configuration file is at: C:\Program Files (x86)\SpeedFan\speedfansens.cfg and it's share by all users, am I right?

I will try again tonight with another method of launching as service according to tmaila in http://www.bugtrack.almico.com/view.php?id=294

ok here is the detail example.

Configuration that works all the time:


xxx FanControllerTemp from FanController 0
temp=1 from F71889A@$290(onISA@$290)
MinTemp=49
MaxTemp=60
hysteresis=2
ControlPoints=0 40 44 49 53 57 61 66 70 74 79 83 87 91 96 100
xxx end

xxx FanControllerTemp from FanController 1
temp=1 from F71889A@$290(onISA@$290)
MinTemp=49
MaxTemp=60
hysteresis=2
ControlPoints=0 25 30 36 41 46 52 57 63 68 73 79 84 89 95 100
xxx end

xxx FanControllerTemp from FanController 2
temp=1 from ATI Video Card@$0(onISA@$290)
MinTemp=49
MaxTemp=70
hysteresis=2
ControlPoints=0 30 33 36 39 41 44 47 50 53 56 59 61 64 67 70
xxx end

Configuration that only works when Speedfan is directly launched, if launched as service, the ATI Video Card temperature don't trigger my Fan 0 and Fan 1 to run:


xxx FanControllerTemp from FanController 0
temp=1 from F71889A@$290(onISA@$290)
MinTemp=49
MaxTemp=60
hysteresis=2
ControlPoints=0 50 54 57 61 64 68 71 75 79 82 86 89 93 96 100
xxx end

xxx FanControllerTemp from FanController 0
temp=1 from ATI Video Card@$0(onISA@$290)
MinTemp=49
MaxTemp=60
hysteresis=2
ControlPoints=0 50 54 57 61 64 68 71 75 79 82 86 89 93 96 100
xxx end

xxx FanControllerTemp from FanController 1
temp=1 from F71889A@$290(onISA@$290)
MinTemp=49
MaxTemp=60
hysteresis=2
ControlPoints=0 25 30 36 41 46 52 57 63 68 73 79 84 89 95 100
xxx end

xxx FanControllerTemp from FanController 1
temp=1 from ATI Video Card@$0(onISA@$290)
MinTemp=49
MaxTemp=60
hysteresis=2
ControlPoints=0 25 30 36 41 46 52 57 63 68 73 79 84 89 95 100
xxx end

xxx FanControllerTemp from FanController 2
temp=1 from ATI Video Card@$0(onISA@$290)
MinTemp=49
MaxTemp=70
hysteresis=2
ControlPoints=0 30 33 36 39 41 44 47 50 53 56 59 61 64 67 70
xxx end

further testing shows that only the 1 from ATI Video Card@$0(onISA@$290) is unable to control the FanControllers when speedfan is run as service.

If I stop using advanced mode and just use the "simple" modes, everything works fine (but seems the fan speeds are less friendly as the program just set it to either min speed, or max speed without following kind of a temperature curve)
