    Hi.
    Are there any program for my XPS that can watch and control the fans? I've tried IK8FanGui but i doesn't seem to work, and HWmonitor doesn't show my fans :mad:

    Only certain laptops can allow the user to change fan speeds; this is due to the fan algorithm being hard coded into the BIOS. If speedfan and IK8FanGui don't work, then you won't be able to change them at all.

    Is it possible or likely that there will ever be a fan control program for the XPS 1530?
