    So far i have tried all of the following
    -Rivatuner
    -ntune(crashes to blue screen when i try and load)
    -Speedfan

    and a few others.

    I am trying to find a program like I8kfansGUI for this laptop or anything that will give me control over throttling the fans with in the system. Temp monitoring in system tray is just a bonus.

    Any help is greatly appreciated

    I have not heard of any method for fan control that reliably works with new ASUS laptops. And by new, I mean newer than the Core Duo line (the "J" suffix).

    You can't AFAIK. Just undervolt your processor and you'll never hear your fan again.

    Not looking to turn fan down more looking to have control over it i don't like leaving it up to the management system i like specifying when it does what.

    I'm a control freak with my computers i like to know and be able to control everything about it, i cant even hear it running usually if anything id probably turn the speed up.

    Well, it seems you can't. :) Or at least we don't know how you could.
