    Hi,
    Is there any software that will allow laptop fan to run always at the desired speed?
    In my FSC Amilo Pi1536 fan is turned on by CPU temperature - low speed at 60C and high speed at 70C. But the same fan cools down also GPU which is running pretty hot when gaming. But since CPU does not reach 70C fan is running low speed not cooling GPU enough.

    So how to turn on 100% speed of the laptop fan ? Without hardware mods ?

    Ha ! Found stupid solution ! My undervoltiong went too good so I have too low CPU temps. If I'll go one or two steps up then CPU will have 70 C and fan will work 100%. Stupid but it may work for a while...

    Then another option is downclocking GPU... :(
