Fan control R51

#1 Post by sentosa » Thu Apr 03, 2008 1:07 am

I installed Fan control on my R51 today and all went well and i tested the system going from manual to smart and then two bios setting and all went well.

tested program going from smart to bios mode and all ok.

however now when it goes to bios mode the fan will not come on and the only way i can get fan going it to let fan control do it. in smart mode. I need Bios fan control to run asi dont trust the fan control program to run the fan all the time.

When machine starts up the fan comes on but as windows load it shuts down until fan control is started .

I need ungently to get bios fan control going FAST.

please help

I have been using fan control with my R51 for 7-8 months. It runs much cooler and I have the points where it switches speed customized. I never use the Bios settings. I really don't see the logic of only using it part-time. I think if there were major problems using fan control, many people would have stopped using it.

Hi. Ive got my bios fan problem fixed. found out that it was never dammaged in the first place. Fan control comes on at 51 Deg
when in bios mode it comes on at 64 Deg . so fan control keeps it nice and cool.
Im useing Fan control to monitor tempa at moment as i use my laptop
running 24 hours a day and dont want to risk a program crash and possable fan failure. cheers
:P
