Have you looked into your BIOS settings to see if you can turn your fan up?

Answer #9
a notebook cooler can help
but it sounds like your fan/heatsink/cooling air duct may need cleaning out
there any removable panels on the bottom of the lappy to allow access to those
Answer #10
……
How about the OFFICIAL Catalyst Driver? Just go to Performance – Overdriver – Enable manual fan speed control.

The official catalyst drivers on my hp laptop[6140 tx] hardly lets one control anything.. the interface is completely different even though i’ve installed the latest catalyst 11.9 mobility drivers
Answer #12

sounds like the cooler is the way to go then
ATI’s and most video card fan control software is designed to control fans on video cards, not laptop fans that cool both the CPU & GPU

Answer #14
balkanno, you saying it does or does not give you fan control
Enable manual fan speed control.
think this only works on standalone video cards in a PC not on a laptop fan, unless you have a separate video card fan on your lappy
Answer #15
Well i didn t know that difference between ati drivers for notebooks nd desktop cards, sorry.
Answer #16
Well i didn t know that difference between ati drivers for notebooks nd desktop cards
drivers are basically the same but have diff functionality on lappy’s & towers
and normally those control apps are looking for the sweet spot between noise and cooling, they don’t improve cooling
sorry.
don’t be, you learn by asking
