    Hey guys
    Pretty sure most of us have already faced a similar situation. Well basically the fans don't spin fast enough and temps for both the CPU and GPU reach as high as 85 and 100c.

    I was hoping if someone could guide me as to how to set the fans to run faster?

    Have an unlocked 1.14 bios, btw. Has GPU OC limit aswell as fan controls unlocked.

    Cheers

    85c and 100c doing what?

    Only time I have gone over 80 on my Y50 was when I tested it with Prime95.
