    Hey. Has anyone else noticed how the fans go absolutely berserk when in express gate? They're even louder than when I'm gaming. It's almost as if another whole set of fans turned on at high-speed.

    BTW, I'm using a G50V-A1

    I dont think I even used express gate yet. Maybe try updating to the newer version of it if you havent, or if you did roll back to an older version :p

    I think it's because ExpressGate just doesn't have the power management and fan control drivers implemented. Small price to pay I guess.

    That's probably it... It's a shame really. The noise is so loud that I just don't use express gate.

    Might try updating it sometime
