    When in normal use the highest fan speed is not actually the highest speed that the fan can go. When doing a system check or BIOS update the fan speed on max is faster and airflow much better. I was wondering if any programmers could mod the BIOS to be able to allow this max fan speed to used in regular gaming use.
