    Any program that can engage the max fan speed on the p170hm automatically at certain temps?

    I really don't like how noisy the max fan setting is, so i don't like keeping it engaged all the time. But for games like Far Cry 3 and Crysis 3 which get up to 88-90 c it would be nice if there was a program that engaged the max fan when it reached a set temp like 88 degrees, and didnt stop til the temp went down to say 80 or below.

    Any software like that?

    The fan will rev automatically based off temp information relayed by the thermal sensor, so no program is needed. No third party programs really work with the fan profile anyway. :(

    There are programs out there for fan control, such as SpeedFan, but they tend to work with only desktops.

    Weird cause mine gets up to 89-90c in a game like Crysis 3 but never seems to kick into full fan speed unless i toggle it myself (fn+1)
