Program to check cpu speed?

[spirates]

Hi, Iam suspecting that my cpu sometimes increases its fan speed with like 10000% or so cause from hearing almost nothing, I hear insane fast sound from my computer.. So what program is best to check if it is my cpu thats making this noice ?

speedfan? everest?

I personally use cpu-z to check cpu speed (among many other things) and coretemp to check my cpu temperature. Niether of those programs will tell you fan speed though. You can use Everest for that. Speedfan is junk imo, it's never worked for me. In fact it simply locks up my computer.

Does it sound loud when you first boot up or all the time? What are your temps like? (when you get the program you want)

Yeah CPU-Z is perfect and will give you the specs of your cpu, mobo and ram.

My brothers rig crashes when he uses speedfan, but it works great for me with very accurate readings.
