    Ive just bought a used XPS M1730 and thought Id hop on board and see if I can pick up any tips.
    Its the dual core T9600 with 4 gig RAM and 2 x GeForce 9800M GTX GPUs in SLi which gives me 2 gig of graphics power.....nice. There doesnt seem to be many of them about with the dual 9800...or is that just me?
    At full res (1920x1200) and high detail, I get 30-40 fps in Crysis 2 which is the game of the moment for me.

    What Im interested in knowing is, are there fan sensors on the GPUs and what monitoring/control software is there which allows monitoring, obviously, but also gives manuaul control over fan speed?
