Although I've been aware of this program for quite a while, I've started relying on it to show HDD SMART info, as well as temperatures and fan speeds. It has the added advantage of partly running as a service to get around permissions issues when accessing the hardware sensors, i.e. it works for all users.

Is there anything else that does all this and is free? I definitely don't want the useless fan speed control feature (useless with all the motherboards I've tried anyway).

I definitely second this. I don't use the fan control features at all.

But the other parts of the program, the graphs - which are easily configurable to monitor voltages and temps - and SMART, too, are neat.
