    hey guys,

    just got my dv6t yesterday and i love it but i was playing around and i did minimal system restore, but now i always hear the fan like its on all the time and my coolsense only has on/off options no auto and i don't have that screen with the settings for coolest/quiestest/performance, the only thing i get when i click on the coolsense through support assistant is the coolsense tray icon displays the option on/off

    i chekced the drivers and it is coolsenese 2.10.3 and support assistant 6.1.12.12

    i also checked the bios and it says fan: always on, is that normal or should it be changed?

    i remember before i couldnt hear the fan and had the coolsense options but now i dont :(

    Can you monitor your temp?
    The fan cant be heard even if on under 50C.

    [​IMG]

    i have it on auto, how do i get the option to select quitest/coolest/performance? when i click now on the coolsense through support assistant, that small tray window appears with on/off/auto option (i just reinstalled coolsense and support assistant)

    here is a picture of HWMonitor with my temps, are they good? this is just browsing/skype with coolsense on auto

    apperantly, you can the quietest/performance/coolest setting under coolsense 1.0 but with 2.0 you get the on/off/auto option, and 2.1 only has on/off
