    The craziest idea i have in mind is to use a 'forced induction' method. Which requires you to buy a high performance 10kRPM small fan, wire up to 12V external converter and attach the fan to the laptop intake vent.

    That way the fan will blast at full speed, active cooling, and incase the power failure laptop will still be cooled by the built-in fan.

    Ah yes, you will need to put something on the laptop's legs to lift it up bit ofcourse.

    moral hazard, hello! Can you help 4530s users by having a look at our DSDT and see if something can be done about it? I have provided all the info on this thread.

    Yes, i know about acfancontrol and tpfc. Both work in writing to the same byte (2f) of the EC. The thing is that with those tools, once o fan speed is selected (lowest, obvious), it's locked in. They can't read temp and worst part, can't turn off the fan once cpu temp is over 40C.

    So you say there is no trace in the dsdt about the 40C point when the fan starts?

    Hi everyone, I read almost the whole thread and I can't figure out how to modify DSDT table in my ASUS B50a. The problem is, that fan swithes on after few minutes of working and it doesn't want to switch off...even, if the CPU temp is EXTREMLY LOW (around 22-29 C). I really would like it to turn off and have a silence in such a low temp. ACFANCONTROL doesn't work for me...doesn't show RPMs and TEMP. Do You have any solution for that? Cheers! (sorry for my english)

    what you have done in this matter is beyond words...i have an asus g73sw, and the only way to control those fans seems to be YOUR method. if you have time to take a look on my registries...is ok...if not...again is ok...tell me how to give you a rep point. your combination between passion for what you are doing and selfless deserve appreciation.

    i can't upload the file...it's exceeding by 10 kB the limit...
    however, thanks for the efforts! keep up the good work!

    The reason for that error is that the microsoft assembler is very pickey.

    You will have to edit your file to get rid of those errors, now I'm not a programmer but I was able to get past a lot of errors with some trial and error.

    With your current error, try to find a similar line of text and see what's missing from the line with the error, modify it a bit, try to assemble. And keep trying until it works.

    Or find an assembler that isn't so picky.

    Did you try changing it to:
    Code: 
    If(CondRefOf(HNOT))

    Name(FMIN, 0x8fc)
    Method(FRSP, 0x0, NotSerialized)
    {
    If(ECON)
    {
    Return(Multiply(\_SB_.PCI0.LPC0.EC0_.FNSP, 0x64, ))
    }
    Return(FMAX)
    }
    Method(FSSP, 0x1, NotSerialized)
    {
    If(ECON)
