    with the t7600g the auto fan control has gone AWOL... the fans stay at the lowest speed no mater what...


    are there any programs that can control the fans, or am I on my own?

    You can use hwinfo32 for fan control. Also a good way to monitor temps.

    You cant control fans with hwinfo32 on an M9750. Believe me, I've tried. Speedfan dosen't work either.

    Well, if your getting the m17x, I'd keep trying to get a GPU trade and sell the M9750 barebones, but with heatsinks and what not. Worth alot more as a barebones w/heatsinks.
