    Is there a program that can increase the fan speeds in your notebook, so that it'll run cooler?

    Unless it's a Dell, then i don't think so.

    I wouldn't recommend forcing higher fan speed, then default ones - it may cause faster fan use-up and cooling problems in the end.

    better than a fried gpu or cpu methinks. :rolleyes:

    ofc they shouldn't overheat in the first place, but you get the drill. they can't dislike staying at lower temps.

    you need a dell or sager to change fan speed but really not worth IMO to change fan speeds as u might burn your fan out faster... better to do a software mod to reduce temps rather than a fan mod...
