Sager NP579x Fan Firmware Updated

[samhandwich]

Ok, I'm confused. I have a 5796.

Fn+1 toggles between max speed and auto (which seems to make the fan cycle between low and medium every 5 to 10 seconds).

Fn+3 does nothing. Isn't that supposed to make it stay on medium?

Is this how it should be? Max speed is really loud, and auto switching between low and medium 10 times a minute is really annoying.

Bios 10.0.09, by the way.

there is no fn+3 on the 5796, for that you have silent mode

and it's not the bios that counts in these matters, it's the kbc/ec firmware, which I assume you have 1.00.08

Ah, how do I turn on silent mode?

Aha! Figured it out -- the hotkey button with the "A" on it.

Why didn't I figure that out sooner? Obviously, "A" stands for "A silent mode"!
