Can you tell me of a free Software I might find that will monitor the temperatures
of the following:
1.) Temperature Inside the case
2.) Temperature of the CPU
3.) Temperature of the Fan
Thanking you in advance.

Software (free or otherwise) alone will not do this for you. Your motherboard must support temperature monitoring, or you must supply and install the temperature sensors.

If your motherboard has this capability, the motherboard manufacturer probably has a utility available.

Here is a link to one of the highest rated 'freeware' hardware monitor programs.

As Tim stated, this will not work unless the motherboard has the sensors built in, and they are enabled in BIOS settings.

The motherboards that I have been using can monitor the following:
CPU temperature
CPU core voltage
Fan speed (up to 4 fans)
Motherboard temperature

ASUS offers a 'probe' as an add-on to some motherboards. The probe is a temperature sensor that you can place where you wish.

There are also panels that you can install in a 5 1/4" drive bay that monitor many temperatures by placing probes as desired.

I have not seen any fans that have a 'temperature' output.
I use a case fan that has a remote temperature sensor, and increases speed as the sensor gets hotter.
