    I have bought a Sager NP8268 recently with 880M. I have downloaded MSI afterburner and was not able to control the fan speed.

    It only looks greyed out. I tried with ASUS GPU tweak and still cannot control the fan.

    I have noticed that the fan is really slow since gaming at fan with full speed will yield great temperatures.

    Any person with the same problem?

    im not sure if its on your model but have you tried the fan hotkey to push it to max. Fn + F1 (i think)

    Default fan curve won't kick the fans up until the GPU reaches 87C and it never maxes.

    Not all models have FN+1. I believe Prema adds the feature to most of his mods though.
