Don't know if it can do both at the same time. For me (on Windows 8.1) SpeedFan had some issues that the displayed RPM was inverse to the fan noise (IIRC I fixed that), but perhaps it's worth to have a look at. IIRC, you don't have to let SpeedFan control the fan speed, you can just have it show it. [1]
