This questions has been asked many times, but with no satisfying answer so far. Or I haven't found it.

How do I read the speed of my CPU fan under Windows? I don't really care, if it is by code or by parsing the stdout of another tool. I just want to read the value, not setting or change it.

I've tried WMI class Win32_Fan, but it didn't give me any results. Then there's the C# based Open Hardware Monitor, which shows the fan speed. But I don't have any experience of C# and so far I could not find out how that code works in regard to fan speeds. I am experienced in Python, Java and C++.

Fan #1 is the object of interest
