I have the packard bell motherboard in my gateway and I contacted packard bell and they were able to give me a bios for my motherboard but only the latest version I flashed it and noticed that it does what the newer version of the gateway fx bios's did I need this bios because it fixes a ton of issues with the motherboard but the video card fan does not kick in until 85c is there a way to modify the fan control speeds?

yeah no problem well they claim it fixes gpu performance issues and any instabilty with voltages along with random shutdowns.

warnings:
*Your gpu runs hotter while idling i have had mine range from 48-72 because it disables your gpu fan till 88c. (I am hoping someone can rebuild this bios with some fan adjustments)

*Its not my fault if something goes wrong you flash this at your own risk.

*This is for packardbell model BH-N10
