Does speedfan work with our laptops?
I've been trying to change my fan speeds on my m15x. speedfan doesn't give me an option to change or monitor my fan speeds. is there a program i can use to run my fan at 100% all of the time?

I don't think there is an option of manual fans control. It is built-in into the system BIOS.

No there is no laptop I know of that can do it.
It's built into the vbios and bios

Speedfan (or probably a similar utility that regulates fan speed, can't remember exactly) worked on my ancient Dell Inspiron 8100/8200. Originally Posted by The_Moo™

Re: Does speedfan work with our laptops?
Funny, I was hoping to downscale my fans.
I'm using the ATI Cards and sometimes the fans are on at bootup and never quiet down. They are pretty loud while gaming, but that is a fair trade-off.
Where it bothers me is when I boot to check email or surf and the fans are running at max power for no obvious reason. This is sporadic as well...many times when I boot they are silent unless I start pushing the system.M17X-R2 - Metallic Black | Intel i7 940xm | 8GB DDR3 1600MHZ | ATI6970m 2GB | OCZ 128gb SSD | 1920x1200 WUXGA | A10 Modded BIOS | Win7 Pro

not working on my M17 also. I guess, it only works for desktop PCs.
