    I'm trying to set it up so that i can have the fan always run when i have my dv8000 plugged into a/c power. I was told this was something that i should be able to change in the BIOS, but ive looked and cant seem to find where. Can someone tell me A) can i do this and B) if so where i find it.

    Thanks

    I doubt is it in the BIOS (notebook BIOSes dont have many options). Try using Speedfan.
