    1. I believe the 8660 has only one fan :)
    2. I believe the key combination is the function key + 1 or F1 (Fn + 1) or (Fn + F1). I am not sure of which of those two it is but I remember hearing one of those when I was reading about the Sager NP5796. To revert the fans back to normal, you use the same keyboard combination again.

    for the time being there is no fan toggle for the M860TU... since it seem to do a sufficient job in throttling the fan automatically.

    Daweism, I really think you should contact your reseller about your HDD idling at 65°C. Have them cross ship you a replacement.

    That's what I suggested a while ago. The HDD is hot...replace it!
