Just a little advice here.. but what good will it to for me to download FANGUI? it kind of scares me to have total control over my fans. I would not want to ruin anything. So say I download it.. whats it like? How could it make my 5150 better? Just curious... any and all comments appreciated

I am the opposite, I like having as much control as possible

FanGUI gives you control over your fans by allowing to specify at which temperatures the fans will kick in to cool down your system.

It already comes with a default set of numbers for no/low/high fan settings, so you don't have to do a thing and your notebook will run just fine.

Just that sometimes, what FanGUI sets makes more sense than what the default laptop settings are. For example, when I had my i8600, the notebook would get to around 50C with no fans, then the fans would go on high and I'd hear this annoying "whooosh" sound. With FanGUI, I was able to set it where at 45C, the fans would come on at low and cool it down to ~35C. When I was gaming, the fans would be continuously on at low, but the notebook wouldn't get hot enough to kick into high (I set that around 60-65C).
