    Does anybody know of a program that can be used to control the fan for Acer notebooks? I specifically have the older 5672WLMi.

    I've tried SpeedFan but it won't work. And on NHC they were trying to write a script for the ACPI close to 5 months ago. now it seems they've stopped working on it. Anything else out there that works?

    It was ok having a hot laptop back in the winter in Canada. but in the super hot and humid country of Korea it definitely is not too good.

    yes, I was one of the first ones on here trying to get the RM Clock working w/ the CoreDuo, and at the RM forum. RM Clock works great, unfortunately it does not to my knowledge have the ability to control fans in the laptop.
