    Hello, I have an Asus A8JS and I want to set ALL fan speeds to it's max. CPU fan, GPU fan and all other fans if exist.

    I am using Windows XP Pro SP2 and I've tried SpeedFan application, it wont show available fans so I can change it's settings (speeds).

    How can I do this? :)

    Speedfan does not work on Asus notebooks since a couple of years ago, beyond temp monitoring only.

    The only option I know of that (might) work since you're running xp is NHC, if there is an A8 ACPI profile; it will only allow access to the main cpu fan however (I didn't think the A8j's gpu had its own fan, just a single heatsink for both to the main).
