What is the best program to change the temps at which my fans come on? My fan comes on at 57-58 C, is it ok to up that to at least 60 or so, so that my fans don't come on so often. Thanks.

There arent universal apps that work on all notebooks for controlling fan speed and so forth. In fact, apps such as that which you seek are quite rare...

Hey rotel, no I don't have the Asus - this was actually the one I wanted but saw that dell had $750 sale and I jumped on it because I didn't have enough for the Asus. I have a Inspiron 8600 P-M 1.6 1 Gig 40GB, etc. I haven't found out any that fixes this, might have to purchase a laptop cooler or something.

Have you tried this program for the Inspirons?

Supposedly you can control the fans in the 8600 series manually or via temperature. Wish it worked on mine!

Yeah I did, wouldn't do what I wanted it to do. Plus it was making my system slower. Then I uninstalled it and its faster, but still a bit of an issue for my fan.
