Please log in for more thread options I have an old version of fan.exe
You are incorrect when you say that "if the fan only turn on when it's
allready too late", at least to the point that if the machine hasn't yet
shut down, it's not too late. When it turns on, the CPU temp will begin
dropping IMMEDIATELY. If the machine hasn't shut down .... it won't.
But often cleaning out the dust IS the fix for the problem.
