    This is my 4th (yes thats right) M1530 I finally get one with a good screen and no build quality issues but the fan keeps turning on, with the CPU temps only around 54 degrees.

    SO...

    Is there any way for me to specify at what temperature the coolling fans should kick in on my M1530??

    If this machine doesn't work out I'm going to buy a Sony FZ series me thinks.

    If I come across it again I'll post the link up here. It was completely free etc....
