Why can't I do anything to my graphics card?

Let's start off with some information about me. I am running an Asus G60VX and the specs are as follows:
Physical Memory (RAM): 4GB
Total Available Virtual Memory (but that doesn't matter much because I don't make use of page file memory): 8GB
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P7450 @ 2.13 2.13
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (64 Bit) (factory installed)
Graphics Card: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 2600M Cuda 1GB

Now, I installed NVIDIA System Tools with ESA Support v.6.02 today, in hopes of experimenting with overclocking. When I launched it, I noticed it said the fan is at 0% and it's grey'd out with no option to edit it. I got this thing used, so I can't guarantee that there isn't some sort of defect. I also DO have the latest video driver as I have just updated the driver today. Could somebody supply a suggestion please? Thanks.
BTW here's a link to a picture of what I'm seeing on my NVIDIA control panel.

You can't control fans in 99% of laptops, because it's embedded deep within the BIOS.

Chances are even less if it's a single fan system.

 

Is there any way to control that? I have a top of the line cooling pad but it still gets too hot after just one hour with the cooling pad. Could I add something or get some kind of program?

 

The fan will be running at 100% if it's getting too hot. How hot is it that you're saying it's too hot? Because most cooling systems in laptops are designed to deal with full usage, especially a gaming laptop.

 

The air coming out of it is so hot if you put your hand near it for 30 seconds it will literally burn you, and if you feel the bottom in the area where the graphics card and processor is pretty damn warm... and the left side of the keyboard is just plain hot. If I have it on my lap it makes me sweat.
The problem is also I don't want to test how far I can overclock my card when it's already getting that hot. I am afraid if I make it any hotter will hit the fan. I haven't even messed with that yet because I don't want to make it hotter. I thought about under clocking it a little bit, but I don't want to loose too much performance.
Without the cooling pad, however, it gets so hot it shuts off after playing second life for half an hour, at least with the pad it doesn't literally overheat, but it's really hot.
In addition to the fan I suck all of the hot air out of the outtake fan every two hours.
It is probably fine, but I'd like it to be much cooler or less without all the hassle of sucking out the hot air every two hours.

 

It shouldnt be getting so hot that it needs to turn off unless youre blocking the fans. Have you checked what temps the CPU and GPU are getting to?

Have you had it open to clean the vents/fans or tried a new patch of thermal paste?

 

You can make your fan spin at 100% all the time, just find someone who's good at electronics and soldering.

 

I want to thermal paste it only as a last resort. It's fine for a PC but I'd prefer not to with laptops like that unless nobody can suggest anything else.
Same thing with anything that involves soldering... I'd rather do the thermal paste thing LOLz.
I blew it out with an air compressor.
I'm surprise nobody's asked me this yet, but before somebody wastes a post asking software wise my computer is great. I DEEP CLEAN the software once a week (checking for viruses, spyware, cleaning out empty registry keys and junk files) I know what I am doing and my computer usage is never more than 2% unless I am actually doing something that requires more usage. My software is great, clean, and I know I haven't screwed anything up software wise.

How do I check my temps? The software I downloaded is supposed to do that but it doesn't and maybe I overlooked something but I didn't notice anything in the bios... And getting a bios reading wouldn't help that much anyway because I need to see when it's actually being used how hot it is.

And no, I'm not stupid enough to block the fans LOL.
I highly doubt I could add a fan and I can't really think of any other solutions that don't require re-pasting and/or soldering...
Am I SOL to the point where I don't have a choice in the matter?

 

I got a program to monitor my temperatures and other crap... here's my readouts

And here's the specs when I start a game. Please note this is when the game FIRST LOADS fully, not after playing it for awhile so it probably gets higher further into the game...

AND HOLY CRAP! This is when I'm running a higher resource program

And all of these readings are with the cooling pad!

 

Well, you can try undervolting your cpu/gpu. That could drop your temps quite a bit depending on how far you can undervolt.

You should also try repasting if your cpu/gpu is easily accessible.... Most thermal paste wears out over time and I doubt the paste/pad Asus used was very good to begin with.

And are you sure you got all the dust out with the compressed air? There can be quite a bit blocking the vents.

 

Yes, I have blown it out as well as I posiblly can
And I am thinking about the thermal paste, but I've never ed with laptop hardware in any way, only pc so I'm still deciding.
Also, when I undervolt my cpu/gpu it gets hotter, which makes NO sense to me...
And I just found out that my computer's fan only turns on when it's 190* F isn't there a way besides cutting the regulator wire to make the fan run 100% all the time? That may solve my problem...
