    Fan controls are usually coded in the BIOS and are often times locked by the manufacture. If your notebook does allow 3rd party software to control you fan, the best ones would be I8kfanGUI or SpeedFan

    I know for a fact that SpeedFan doesnt work. It will only read the temps. I thought I8 was a Dell specific tool?
