    I have an ASUS Z70A and would like to know if there are any programs that would enable me to control the fans. My computer runs pretty hot, 53 C to be exact, and the fans are contantly on. I think I might have some dust build up in the fan area. Is there anyway I can clean the dust out?

    I installed centrio hardware control but it won't allow me to change the speed of the fans.

    53 C should be normal. I wouldn't worry.

    if the fan is blocked, nothing works like a can of air-brush (air in a can)..... just hold the can upright or it might spray some of the liquid out.... btw, its very cold 'if' this liquid hits anything.. so keep it away from your hands... (had bad experience).

    .... otherwise use your imagination and find something else to blow the dust away....

    What about Speedfan? Can you control your fans with that?
