Laptop GPUs are usually nothing compared to their desktop counterparts...
I tried that, but heard no difference... Shall try to raise it a lot more then horgen123
That is true, lol.But here's another good explanation:
"Before starting, if you are using speedfan to control an important temp, make sure that it loads with windows. The way you configure fan speeds in speed fan, assuming your mobo supports it, is as follows:
1. Disable any on-board fan control (Asus Q-Fan) in bios. Note: This will cause your fan to spin at 100% until the system boots and speedfan loads, which can be really annoying is you have a really powerful fan like I do.
2. In speedfan, under the button marked "Configure", check the box for "Automatically control fan speeds"
3. Click the "Configure" button. This will bring up the temperature tab. For each temperature, you can click the + sign and show a list of fans. Clear all of the checks next to each fan for each temperature. This step is probably the most tedious part if you have alot of temps.
4. Choose the temp you want speedfan to maintain, and select the fan you want it to control by checking the box next to the fan under that temp's pull down menu.
5. Now click on the temperature itself, and on the bottom of the screen you can select the desired temp and the warning temp. The desired temp is the temp at which speedfan will increase the fan speed if the temp goes above it. The warning temp is the temp at which speedfan will adjust the fan to 100%.
6. Click the "Speeds" tab up on top. Now select the fan you chose before. Set the minimum and maximum speeds. The minimum speed is the speed it will run whenever your temp is below the desired temp, and the maximum speed is the speed that the fan will run when your temp is between "desired" and "warning". Your fan will run at 100% when its over "warning".
7 Close the configure window and wait. It takes like 5 seconds for speedfan to apply those settings. You fan should slow down to its minimum speed now (or faster depending on your temp).
For example, I have a quad core, and I set my desired temp at 40c and my warning at 50c. My fan runs at 5% most of the time, 50% when above 40c (usually during heavy encoding), and it hasn't ever hit 100% yet. I'm on water though, and I use speedfan to control my rad fan."Â
