    I own a Clevo p157sm and was wondering if I can increase the fan speed or force it to run max when playing without vsync. I'm not sure if it is running at max since msi afterburner doesn't display fan speed and there is not much of anything I can do in bios. Temps are fine when using vsync, Bioshock Infinite maxed out never gets above 73° but if I'm playing games without vsync then temps get into the low to mid 80s like bf3 and bf4, i turn graphics down and that helps. I know the limit is 92° but I'd still like temps to stay as cool as possible. I applied cooler master thermal paste also. Any information on fan speed would be nice, thanks.

    Fn + 1 (not F1) should toggle on max fan.
