    if you're using a laptopvideo2go modified desktp video driver, the fans will run full and not ramp up.

    What are the temperatures?
    Did you clean the outlet vent? One my F3Sv, this had a lot of dust stuck in it.

    I haven't found a way to do this other than keeping it cool.

    It is also possible that the ATK (power management) drivers have gone bad. (Although I am not at all sure if they have anything to say in the control of the FAN speed).

    Nevertheless, to make sure, you could remove and reinstall, or remove and update them.

    And I also agree about making sure no dust is gathered between the fan and the heat radiator (that's where it gets stuck most of the time...)
