i had some heat problems with my dell xps m 1710 laptop, the system shut down due to heat so i got a temp monitoring program and nxt time it did it ichecked the temp, the gpu toped out over 90.
I blew some canned air into the fans and that helped a lot, it didn't shut down after that but still got kinda hot so i had dell come out to open i t up and dust it, they also replaced the fans and h eatsink on the cpu (even though the gpu is what got hotter)
anyway I cant really tell if these new fans are working.. if they are they're way quieter than the old ones, i kinda dont wanat to stress t he system to test it out untill i know theyre actually working. I tried d.loading s ome differnt fan utility programs, both rivaturner and speed fan. Neither one would show any options for the fans in them. fanspeed was totally blank in that regard and rivaturner didn't seem to offer any options even when i checked the plugins
what gives? is there a better program out there than those 2? i tried most of the ones on this page

im kinda concerned about this, dont want to start up a game and fry my system, it doesn't feel or sound like theyre really on, i just f eel a faint ammount of air off the left one. I need to check their speed and preferably set when they come on, i had read about people doing this with rivatuner before
help!
