NoteBook FanControl

[choggy2840]

Hi there,

 

I was wondering if NoteBook FanControl was safe/if anyone had any bad experience but what I would also like to no is has anyone had it work for a laptop where speedfan was unable to work as I have an Asus gaming laptop where the fans run nowhere near their maximum even on their highest setting and therefore throttles and so I want to run the fan at 100% and after trying Asus gaming software that says this model is not supported and asking Asus support of there was a way to do it and just them misunderstanding and telling me to RMA the laptop this seems like my only option.

 

TIA Max

Anything that alters the laptop's firmware carries a risk

 

What laptop model is it?

Oh the FX503? Yeah, you're out of luck - either repaste and undervolt it or just accept the thorttling. It's not a good cooling solution. The paste is also crappy. No amount of fan speed will fix it. It's a cooler designed for a 70W 1050 Ti, not a 100W 1060.

Just use it as is? No need to be so extreme.

First of I was joking I wouldn't literally bin it but It wouldn't be so bad if the 1060 was throttling a bit but its the CPU to a really bad extent like sub base clock bad which then means anything but games like CSGO and Overwatch have a severe CPU bottleneck and stutter constantly rendering some games unplayable.

60+W for 1050TI and 80W for 1060. This model even struggles to keep 7700HQ+1050Ti cool lol

Turn off turbo boost then by limiting the CPU power state to 99%. At least that may give a stable base clock. Also undervolt the GPU.

I will try that as I have now tried NoteBook FanControl which was unable to take control of the fans.
