    Ok, I just got back up to school and when I set up my laptop the fans aren't spinning up on boot, yet to test it under load, anyone have any ideas?

    It was just a freak thing I guess. I restarted like three times and they never spun up like they are supposed to prior to posting... then I played CoD:WaW to see if they would kick on, they have worked ever since, including at boot.
