    so i booted my laptop today & i have rather an aggressive fan profile set in HWinfo64 so i usually hear them kick in they didnt had a look at the fan settings & i now have two separate fans that both control both fans don't follow the fan curve ive defined & they only let me set 0/2400/4000 or by putting both to 100% in manual, rebooted into the bios & i no longer have the option to set boot from usb, all usb port still work & ec has changed from: compac to dell ec
