I have also the same problem but for Mac I use smc fan control and its alot better because it doesnt get that hot, but its a little bit louder.
Anyway what should I use for my windows 7 ultimate x64?
My Mac specs: i7 quad-core, 4gb ram, at radeon 6630m 256mb.

iFanAutoControl has been working really well for me in Windows on my Macbook Pro. Unfortunately, you cannot control the fan manually in any way, but I've found it does a great job of keeping the temperature in a "safe" range. In fact, I find it BETTER in "livability" to SMC Fan Control in OSX in the sense that it slowly ramps up the speed to keep a given temperature range whereas SMC is pretty much an override "minimum" to OSX's own temperature control (i.e. if I want to be safe with a game, I have to set it to maximum fan speed since I cannot monitor the temperature while in most games, but the Windows iFanAutoControl does that for me and just ramps the fans up as it gets hotter, and lower when it cools down).
Lubbos didn't work with my Macbook Pro and InputKeyRemapper is out of date and prone to bizarre behavior with many of its settings (at least on my MBP). iFanAutoControl is the ONLY good solution I've found thus far in Windows on a Mac. Frankly, it has done a great job thus far (and I have a NVidia 8600M GT in my Macbook Pro, so to be on the safe side, I have to keep it cool to be on the safe side with the well known chip failures that seem to occur when that chip gets too hot).

I have a big theory why Macs are hotter other than bad driver management, even when Windows doesnt read the 2nd graphics card, the 2nd graphics card is still active. I have software that monitors temps and also on Everest it reports that the Intel HD card is active and not disabled. If Apple were to give control on the 2nd graphics card than the MacBook Pro would run as cool as on the OSx side.
I like MacFan.exe from source forge

I found it easy to use. I set a batch file to load at log in so I would not need to remember to launch. My Macbook Pro runs to hot (video it seems) and this helps keep the entire system cool. This is used from within windows.
The only downfall I found is if the laptop goes in to sleep mode, the fans do not fire back up again, and have to manually start the program.
I am using with Windows 7 64bit.

This one doesn't work good for my mid 2012 macbook pro
1. Can't quit unless shut down, the fan keep running at 6000rpm
2. cpu, gpu always 90 degree, not change, this cause fan always run at 600rpm
Lubbo doesn't work in Windows 8, and the interface is kinda crappy. I found another program that's much better IMO.
