You may have to click Yes to give SpeedFan permission to access your PC’s settings. After a few moments, you will see some information about your PC on the main screen. The fans and their current speeds should appear in the box just below the “CPU usage” bar. If you don’t see any fans here, or the only fans you see are listed as “0 RPM,” your motherboard is not supported by SpeedFan.
If you don’t see your CPU in the menu, go through the other options and look for one with “PWM mode” entries in Property box. If you don’t see any options that display a “PWM mode” option in the Property box, you won’t be able to change your fan speed.
The default option, Smart Guardian, stands for chip-based control. When this default option is set for any PWM modes, your PC will self-regulate the fan speeds instead of allowing you to make changes.

Write down the percentage of the first PWM setting. Now set the first PWM to 0%. After a moment or two, one of the temperatures in right-hand box will begin to rise and turn red. The component with the raised temperature is the one affected by that PWM. Write that down. Enter the original percentage back into the box. Repeat for all other PWMs until you know a) which PWM controls which components’ fans, and b) what the default values are for each PWM.
Press the Windows key + i to open your Settings. Click Update & security. Click Recovery in the left panel. Click Restart now under “Advanced startup” in the right panel. Click Troubleshoot and then Advanced options. Click UEFI Firmware settings and select Restart. This reboots your PC into the BIOS/UEFI.
You will typically have the option to adjust the temperature at which the fan will speed up, and often the speed itself. If your issue is that the fans are too loud and come on too often, you’d want to increase the temperature at which they activate. Just be careful not to let your PC run too hot, as you could damage your hardware. [4] X Research source
