    Need help determining actual motherboard manufacturer of Clevo B5100M (or finding proper fan control software)

    In an attempt to get Speedfan working, I am trying to determine what motherboard I have. It's an Sager NP5125 (and yes, I am aware of the owner's lounge discussion thread) and it doesn't give any indication whatsoever about the motherboard manufacturer. The BIOS post only lists "Pheonix SecureCore" and "B5100M". Clevo is a dead end when I e-mail them. Various programs I've tried list the manufacturer as "Clevo Co.", but that is not one of the manufacturers listed on SpeedFan's site.

    If anyone knows what else I can do or what other fan control software exists it would be swell.

    The motherboard manufacturer is Clevo itself in Kapok factory.

    Speedfan is mainly for desktop motherboards, laptop mobos are made by the respective laptop manufacturers and are proprietary.
