    Hi, I did a brief search around these forums and was wondering if there was a utility to control the fan speeds on ASUS laptops. I tried with speedfan and nhc and no luck. I'm sure people have asked before but I was jw if anybody knew of one... thx

    Not that I know of, I created an ACPI control for NHC but it dosen't control fan speeds, I haven't been able to figure out how to address the fans using NHC's ACPI controls, if anyone wants to help I think you would make a lot of people happy..... :)

    ASUS probe does not work correctly for the Z96Js/S96J. If I remember correctly the temperature registered as "FATAL" with a reading of 429070294 °C !! :D

    lol. core 2's don't normally reach the temperature of the sun's surface. although if it was that temp then "fatal" would be an excellent description.
