The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which perennial plants are most likely to thrive at a location. The map is based on the average annual extreme minimum winter temperature, displayed as 10-degree F zones and 5-degree F half zones. A broadband internet connection is recommended for the interactive GIS-based map above.
To find the Plant Hardiness Zone at your location quickly, enter your zip code in the Quick Zip Code Search box in the map above, or click anywhere on the map to view the corresponding interactive map.
Fan Control is a highly focused fan controlling software for Windows. No installation required. Low on resources, high on power.
Fan Control has extensive support for a variety of motherboards, GPUs, and other hardware, like AIOs. Say goodbye to the "silo" approach of using multiple softwares to control your different fans. Have all of them controlled by a single smart entity, and start thinking about cooling and noise as a system-wide concern. Fan Control has ALL the parameters. Response time, hysteresis, hysteresis direction, step up, step down... Fine tune to your heart's desire. Control your fan's start and stopping logic, for smooth 0 RPM operation.
The Open Hardware Monitor is a free open source software that monitors temperature sensors, fan speeds, voltages, load and clock speeds of a computer.
The CPU temperature can be monitored by reading the core temperature sensors of Intel and AMD processors. The sensors of ATI and Nvidia video cards as well as SMART hard drive temperature can be displayed. The monitored values can be displayed in the main window, in a customizable desktop gadget, or in the system tray. The free Open Hardware Monitor software runs on 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 and any x86 based Linux operating systems without installation.
To install just unpack the zip archive and run OpenHardwareMonitor.exe with Administrator rights. Without Administrator rights most hardware sensors are not accessible.
