    There is one... Otherwise your fan would always be on and never off or variable in speed...

    Why do you care about one anyway?

    You can try this...

    http://www.diefer.de/i8kfan/index.html

    I haven't used it since my old Inspiron 7000 or so and I can't test it now since it isn't runnable on Vista x64, but you can see if it works for you.

    If it does it will do all you need :D

    Also, post back your results.

    Yeah you'll have to use i8kfangui to control your fans. Works quite well actually.
