SpeedFan fioBased on our record, fio should be more popular than SpeedFan. It has been mentiond 14 times since March 2021. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
I use an app to check system temps: OpenHardwareMonitor. Some people like SpeedFan, does most of the same stuff. Source: over 1 year ago
That's not super common (but it does happen ofc). It might be worth running a tool to scan the drive and take a peek at the SMART data. I typically use Speedfan https://almico.com/speedfan.php. Source: over 1 year ago
You'll get better gpu support from Afterburner, but if you have a weird chipset or an incompatible fan controller, good old SpeedFan still has a few tricks. Source: over 1 year ago

Speedfan Freeware gives you some info about your temps, but its mostly used to set up your custom fan control, such as increasing rpm of your front intake fans when temp of GPU and/or CPU reaches a certain point and much more, how much you can do with it depends on the fan controller chip that is used on your mainboard, so you mileage may vary.

Assuming two systems use flash storage, network bandwidth is identical and it is configured the same way, there should be an issue within the PC, either system or storage drive. Check the system logs for errors and warning events related to data transfer from/to NAS. Try to benchmark the PCs' disks using fio to confirm they have similar performance. https://github.com/axboe/fio. Source: 10 months ago
Not specifically addressing your question, but when you get to the point of wanting to start doing some experiments you may find that 'fio' [1] is very handy. [1] https://github.com/axboe/fio. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
The dd is not a good benchmarking tool, you should use something like fio and probably tune it to use the ioengine most similar to your use case (eg. a database server will probably use some async IO interface). In your first example (with bs=1G) probably something (the guest OS, the qemu/kvm or the host OS) have split into smaller chunks anyway. Source: about 1 year ago
All linux tests are run with fio 3.32 (github) with future commit 03900b0bf8af625bb43b10f0627b3c5947c3ff79 manually applied. Source: about 1 year ago
Agree, I used flex/yacc to add an arithmetic expression evaluator to fio a few years back to allow simple math with some units in fio's job files, and for stuff like that, they're fine, but I wouldn't want to use them for a real language, the error handling is kind of a nightmare.
