    Try using Hwinfo64.. You should be able to control fan speed at least for both fans... No individually but together..

    Install it, Run program and click on sensors start it up.. In the sensors window, look at the bottom near a timer.. There is a small fan icon, that opens the fan control.. You can then manually set the fan speed for both fans (at least in AW) and also set a custom profile for each fan (you need to disable EC reading in settings) if you want to... Once finished with your game, click on system auto... Look in the Alienware forums for a thread by Mr Fox about using Hwinfo.. It will have everything there..

    MSI afterburner can only interface with very specific types of hardware as it can't possibly be programmed to work properly with all EC structures out there, especially in notebooks which are all very different.
