    i just downloaed this programme, but where would it actually come in usefull?
    apart from showing me the temps.
    in what situation would i need to manually control the fans?

    what are the disadvantages if i increase the fan speeds sometimes?

    what do other people use this programme to do?

    well there is also the thing about extra wear on the fan since its on more or running at a higher speed more often.
