    Does anyone know a program that can edit the fan profile? The Acer i'm using crashes after 20 mins of gaming because the laptop overheats. The fan then kicks in but the laptop has already crashed so it's annoying for me.

    use a notebook cooling pad.. it will help a lot in dropping temps.. also apply new thermal paste on GPU.. i do believe that these are the only 2 things u can do.. editing fan profile is impossible unless u have a Dell or Sager... u might also want to try updating to latest BIOS so fan starts earlier..

    I don't think editing fan profile works in Sager as well, at least not without a bios flash, which I'm not going to do. From what I know, Rivatuner could change fan profile, but from what I tried, setting it to fixed fan settings changes nothing, while under auto fan settings the change to fan profile is greyed out. Would be great to be able to change fan profile though, could have 100% instead of only 69% fan speed at 93C. Only gets to 100% speed at 100C using default fan profile.
