    I don't think you can control the fan. Actually, this is one of the reasons I returned 1525 back to Dell. I expect a much quieter notebook from Dell. I used to own a Toshiba Satellite, it was just like this Dell, the fan kicked in all the time. I got another cheap Toshiba Satellite last year, it was a lot more quieter. 1525 fan noise is unacceptable, and it also kick in even when the notebook is in sleep mode (I was using the default power saving stettings, it went to sleep mode after a certain period of idling.)
