The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    dude, chill out. i have the facts right. if i said to you, i needed a million dollars, would you take me literally? people exaggerate. and besides, that is technically true anyway, but the basic drivers are provided by the OS. calm down. we are all here to help each other.

    This suggests it is the bootstrap loader. Perhaps it needed tweaking for better Windows 7 compatibility.

    I don't have the new version of HWmonitor yet, but Franck has confirmed that I am free to share the new version with the rest of you when he gives it to me.

    For me, the A19 BIOS update seems to have introduced a 3600rpm fan speed. I am now seeing 3000rpm and 3600rpm. There might be a higher speed, but I can't generate enough heat to find out.

    GREAT! :D Any chance he could do the same for the M4400?
    or....i'd buy the Pro version if it would show the fan speeds ;)
