    I'm running a clean install of Vista on my G1S and the only thing I can't get to work is the Hotkey for the Fan/Performance control (the little running man hotkey). I installed all the hotkey (ATK) downloads, and four other hotkeys work fine, just not the Fan/Performace one. Any help on this is appreciated.

    Got it figured out.. This button works in conjunction with the Power4Gear eXtreme Utility.. Button works great once I installed Power4Gear eXtreme.

    Some reviews said that there's a hotkey to control the fan speed. Is this true? Please let it be so - I would be so happy!

    I don't think so. Fan speed is controlled by BIOS on the basis of the CPU temp (and not on the basis of the GPU temp, which is probably part of the reason for which the G1S overheats).
