    Hey guys this is Kaung Hlaing, some of you maybe familiar with hwinfo fan system or maybe not, but you cannot control manually. So here, download the latest version of the HWINFO64 "note, this only works for 15/17/R2 versions". What you are going to do is, launch hwinfo and you will see sensor/summary choose sensor and do not click run yet, go to settings, you are going to "safety" and check the boxes "low-level PCI access, TPM Check, EC Support, Evaluate ACPI Methods" then click ok, it will send u back to the menu, now click run, you will see a small fan logo click on that, Now read carefully, do not use custom auto because it won't work. So what you are going to do is, set the CPU fan to 2500 or whatever u want. Now click Set Manual do the same thing to gpu fan too, you're good to go :)

    Again, controlling the fan manually does not need CUSTOM AUTO system, all you have to do is set the fan as high as you want, then click manual.
