'Current Temperatures' shows the highest CPU-related and GPU-related temperatures from the collection of CPU/GPU temperature sensors that Fan Control monitors for that system. 'Fan Speeds: Current' shows the current fan speed (and its percentage of maximum RPM) as reported by the Operating System and is presented as the horizontal line on the graph 'Fan Speeds: Wanted' shows the fan speed that Fan Control has requested and is presented as the circle on the graph 'Fan Speeds: Max.' shows the maximum fan speed allowed for the fan, as reported by the Operating System Fan Speed' setting defines the slowest speed Fan Control will request for each fan

The 'Lower Temp Threshold' setting defines the lowest temperature at which Fan Control may start requesting increased fan speed(s) to help reduce temperatures. When adjusting fan speeds, Fan Control asks the operating system to run the fan(s) at certain speed(s).
