    Hi.......
    I'm a fan of the acer 5720G.... with nvidia 8400M GS
    I would like it fanless... but .... Now I can't

    For this purpose I pull my old intel T5250 and put in a T8100...

    Now My temps are:
    CPU idle 31-32 celsius
    GPU idle (from 53 to 57)

    When the temp of gpu reach 57 C the fan starts.....
    Is there a way to have peace and silence?

    Two ways:

    1 open the laptop and apply Artic Silver 5 on the GPU/CPU

    2 Get a notebook cooler like Zalman NC1000

    Won't work....
    You could try undervolting the GPU by modifying the vBIOS.
