    Would someone be so kind as to write a small guide how to configure automatic fan speeds in Rivatuner on the M1530?

    When accessing RivaTuner Main - NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT / PnP Screen, there is no Low-Level system settings to go to.

    How do I do it?
    It would be nice to change fan speed to make the idle temp a bit more stable. Right now its pretty much a rolercoaster from 52-65 C and it bothers me. =)

    Please stop spamming the boards...

    Anyways, I don't think Rivatuner works on Dells for fan control, you have to use another monitoring program such as i8kfangui (which works great for me).

    Heard some bad rumours regarding the i8kfangui regarding overheating and such.
