    ^ return if you must, but the lubbo fan doh123 posted works well. I use it when I bootcamp to play Starcraft 2.

    I think they went too light on the fans... I have a 2011 17" and if I let the fans go by themselves, they won't ever get to max even when the temp is sitting around 90 to 92... and the whole machine locks up at times. If I manually put the fans up at max speed, it stays in the low 80s and runs for hours with no problems doing the same things.

    I'm having an issue with this program, do you have to install .NET framework before it works correctly? I get a startup error each time I try and load it.
