    I have the xps 1640 with the ati 4670 gpu. Lately it's been getting really warm, and I'm wondering if there's a way to speed the fan up.

    Maybe you should clean out the fan? There could be some dust.

    I wouldn't mind some fan controlling software too. SpeedFan is a nightmare and just ends up crashing.

    From the research I've done, I don't think there is a fan control program. There are a few fan control programs, but they don't work with the majority of laptops.

    You can use MSI AfterBurner 1.60 and above to change the fan speed, I set it to run@80%...

    MSI afterburner doesn't seem to be working for me. Am I missing a step to make it work?
