    Fan seems to run at a middle speed no matter how hot the laptop gets. When starting up from sleep, the fan will go to the fastest setting for a few seconds, even though it's not that high, but just because there is high CPU use. When playing games, the GPU is in high gear and heat the laptop very hot, always at least upper 80's, has seen 95 degrees during long gaming sessions. But the fan doesn't run at the fastest settings unless there is high CPU usage. Is there a way to change this myself?
