I tried once, but it became very scarey and I stopped.

try cleaning the fans out

mattsup94 · 01-04-2009, 05:53 PM

I'm not sure if someone already posted here, but I need help.
I have gateway 6860 FX laptop.
And i was wondering if there is any software i can use to adjust the fan controls. Because sometimes when i play cod4 it takes it a long time to turn on, sometimes it doesn't even turn on.
I was hoping there was a program that will enable me to let the fans run at 100% when I want them to.
I don't want to damage my computer by overheating. Please help.

Anyone know if I can upgrade with a T7400. Its a Merom cpu - not Merom-2048, but I assume the only difference is the Merom-2048 has less cache.

Unfortunatly there isnt any available software that will allow fan control on the FX series. Gateway has pretty much locked us out completely in the BIOS so we're out of luck there.

On the Upside the cooling is pretty good in the 6860. I'm running an x9000CPU and i get idle temps of 32/34 degrees and under gaming/benchmarking/stress i only get up to the mid 60's. On the GPU side i havent gotten over 74 degrees unless i'm running a hard core stress program (and you dont use those alot)

Yes you can use a t7400, but why was that your choice over say a t8300/t9300 or something similiar?

This is my first post. I just replaced the T7250 in my daughter's computer with a T9500 CPU.

Is there any way to change the voltage to the CPU? Can't see any way in BIOS.

Thanks for all the info.

You can give RMClock a try.
