    I'm trying to cool my ASUS G53Jw using an external cooler, the Targus ChillHub XC.

    Not getting any good results, so I want to increase the fan speed on it. Is there any software or hardware adjustments to allow that?

    Doubtful. You're looking at fans running off of a 5V USB connection. There's a limit to how fast they can go and how much air they can move. Amazon says the fan speeds are variable though... have you looked at the instruction manual?
