Hi guys. New to the forum.
So I just got the 3.55 version and I really missed the fan speed information, under Sensors
Previous versions of HWiNFO used to show the fan speed, and I can't seem to find it in this new version I have already tried every option tree and it is not there anymore.
The information is needed, once this is a notebook and I want to make sure it's cooler is still working...
Is this a bug or a feature?
thx,
Rodolfo.

Thanks for the data.
Unfortunately the GPU fan speed reported by earlier versions was not valid - as you maybe noticed it was stuck at 1216 RPM all the time. Moreover, I think that you GPU (RS880) is not able to monitor fan speed. Thus I have changed the RS800 monitoring method, so it will no longer report that value.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience this could cause. Unfortunately it's hard to find out how some things work, especially when many device vendors keep lots of things secret and don't cooperate much. Often it doesn't work on 1st attempt and there are updates and patches required untils it's polished..

Martin, I forgot to mention that hwinfo`s gadget has not worked out for me ever since I first tried it and that was with win vista.
Now I`m using seven and the gadget claims that either HWi is not running or the sidebar gadget is not working. I thought it was because I was using a portable edition so I tried the installed version. Same thing.
Is there a workaround on this? Are you aware of this issue?
If you need some deep information just name it.
thx.

I noticed that HWINFO32 detects the hard disc temperature with effective accuracy.
That is said because I compared HWi's data with others programs from the same platform.
However, I wonder if external hard drive temperature can also be detected... I used various tools that just have proved itself not to be capable even to show such an option.
Is it possible to detect external HD temperature?
Is it on HWi''s current roadmap?
