My Acer 6920g is overheating a lot and it makes me lag in game so I want to increase the fan speed with rivatuner but my driver is not compatible with Rivatuner. Any drivers that I can use that is compatible and has the fan tab? Graphic card is 9500m GS

Nothing's ever really been able to control the fan of the 6920G - RivaTuner's more designed to control the fan of a desktop video card, not a laptop's fan.
Zammyfighter, have you determined that your machine is actually overheating and not throttling like some other 6920Gs?
Please post an HWMonitor screenshot so we can get an idea of your temperatures. -
Here is a screenshot of my HWMonitor and the Throttle thing. This was when there was a fps drop from 50-60 to 9-11. So I guess it is the throttle problem. I have one question. Do i need to have throttle on at all times when I'm playing my game to fix the problem? -
Yep, it's a throttling issue - your temps are perfectly fine otherwise.
You would need to enable ThrottleStop (and set the Chipset Clock mod to 100%) in order to prevent throttling from happening, but honestly, it's a small overhead to pay to prevent losing most of your framerate.
Alternatively, you could look into undervolting your CPU; it's ever-so-slightly riskier, but it tends to drop the CPU's temperature below the throttling trip point AND gives you a bit more battery life. -

If you also experience lag in YouTube then yes! But otherwise, just turn it on when you want to game
-
Yeah - either use a Startup registry key or Task Scheduler to start ThrottleStop turned-off when your computer boots, then turn it on during gaming.
Driver that I can use that is compatible with Rivatuner so I can control fan?
