    I downloaded I8kfanGUI, but it's not fully compatible with the m1530. It can read the state of the fans and the temperatures of the CPU/GPU, but there's no control over the fans. The temperatures sensed are also like 14C lower than what rivatuner is reading.

    I was wondering if you guys used anything to control your temperatures other than a notebook cooler. My xps's fans don't really kick in full gear until I reach over 70 degrees, but I would kind of like them to start at a slow rate even now as I'm idling at 58 degrees on a notebook cooler, which seems kinda high. Thanks.
