Hello,
I have a macbook pro, I'm running windows in bootcamp. I installed speedfan but I don't see anything about fans.

well, speedfan works by grabbing data from the motherboard on the status of the board devices. in order for speedfan to monitor a board fan header a fan has to be plugged into it. few noteooks have auxiliary fan headers. so my guess is there is nothing to monitor

There are some other softwares you should try to get temperatures and fan speeds, and also most are useful for overclocking:

HWMonitor:

RivaTuner:

EVGAprecision:

MSI Afterburner:

There are lot more softwares but these are the best. It also depends on the graphic card you got and OS you currently use. Rivatuner doesn't work with my graphic card in Windows 7 but did in Windows XP.
