    Guys, tell me on what versions of the BIOS you can squeeze at least 4700 fans rpm?
    I had 1.0.5, and with max. the load produced only 4200. I put the newest version of the BIOS 1.2.0 and nothing has changed ((
    I still see these 4200 ((

    Download HWInfo, it has a fan control setting which should work with that laptop.

    I would not like to programmatically configure fans in HWinfo/speedfan. I believe that this should deal with bios.
    I need to know which version of the BIOS is raising its maximum speed to 4700
