Hey, so my new Cooler Master NotePal U3 Notebook Cooler with 3 Fans R9-NBC-8PCK-G came today and, upon setting it up, I wasn't really impressed with the fan speed. Ya, it cools my hardware down a tad, but when playing Skyrim or whatever, my GPU temperature still goes up to around 95 C like it always does (and yes, I know this is rather hot)... I feel like the manufacturer was focusing too much on making it quiet, than focusing on making it blast out air. However, I would rather have it loud and cool, than quiet and do nothing. So, is there a way I can "hack" the manufacturer's fan speed limits (there is a dial on the side that lets me control the fan speed) to crank out more air?

The fact that it is powered by a USB port gives me hope that it can, since I could maybe control the voltage of that particular USB port or something...
Also, I opened the box which contains the speed dial for the cooling pad, and found a simple little circuit board on the inside. I'm rather a noob when it comes to circuit boards so excuse me if this sounds stupid, but is there something I could do to the circuit board which would max out speeds on the fans?
