    I ended up playing bf3 for about 8 hours yesterday and when I stopped the fan was running about full speed, I decided to lay down to goto sleep and it was still running fast I thought to myself itll slow down soon. I wake up 6 hours later and the fan still running fast. So... I opened BF3 and when the comp opened the browser to search for a game the fan suddenly turns off. or slows down super quiet mode. So for all the people with the fan issue after playing your game.. just re click on BF3 and the fan will stop going full power. then simply close the browser window and your golden.
