Hi All,

Not an overclocked system, but I assume the specialists here might know the most about the problem.

I have a lenovo x61 tablet running Windows 7 RC. Because of this tpfancontrol won't work (not working with 64 bit drivers).

For some reason the fans will only run on the lowest setting, and won't rev up, even when they need to, which is causing overheating.

Is there anyway to force the fans into a higher speed mode? I might go back to windows xp soon, if I can't find another way to fix the problem, but due to work schedule, that's not an option for at least a couple more weeks, so I need a temporary fix.

Thanks,

~Lyuokdea
