The H61iCafe does comes with ASRock’s Extreme Tuning Utility.  While this utility is not as in-depth as others it does give you a lot of information and options to tweak your system.  When you open it up you have the Hardware Monitor.  Here you can see all of your clock speeds, fan speeds, temperatures and voltages.  Moving down to fan control you can setup the target fan speeds you want and the target temperatures.
