    In an effort to try to reduce the boot times of my X100e as much as possible,I updated the BIOS to see if it would help, since it seems to take a while before it starts to load windows (Im getting around 45 seconds,my goal is like ~30).

    Anyway,I updated it through Windows, and I noticed something when the program ran, it sped the fan up to 100% the whole time it was updating. I never even heard it get that loud before.

    So it got me wondering, is there anyway to manually control the fan,so that it can be sped up to hopefully cool it down better? The fan got pretty loud,so it should be able to move a lot of air when its running at full blast.

    Neither speedfan nor tpfancontrol seem to recognize the laptop,and ive read something about ACPI tables or something, but not sure where to look to do it.

    I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium that it came with
