    I recently got a i9300. I was playing a game on it and noticed it seemed a little hotter than I would like. Now I do not know what temps Dell has the fans set to kick on, but it was pretty hot on my legs. I already had a software installed to monitor tempeture and that said it was 55 degress Celcius.

    So I decided that I was going to look on the internet for a software that would let me decide when to turn the fans on and at what speed. Well I found one and thought I would share it with you all.

    First of all I want to thank Christian Diefer for making such a cool software.

    Here is the link http://www.diefer.de/i8kfan/

    It does not state that it works with the i9300 but it seems to work good with mine.

    And as the website states:
