    Is there any way to control the fan speed on HP's notebooks?

    The few programs that I know that detect fans won't even show a fan on my laptop, nor does it show on my Friend's G60 (or whatever the silver one is, I don't remember it exactly).

    Mines isn't broken or anything, just something I was wondering about.

    As far as i know there are no user controls, apart from direct ACPI code injection, which is complicated and risky.

    it's not complicated if you use the guide + software I attached to this post.

    Also it's not very risky.
    If you get a BSOD during startup after the mod, hold F8 and boot "last known good config".

    Your system should be fine after that.

    Please feel free to ask me any questions, I'll do my best to help :)
