Increasing the RPM of my Laptop fans?

STVoyager · Sep 20, 2013

Hello again gentlemen. I am not one to have ever messed around with the BIOS of my main computer by myself, I am not confident enough that I won't break something permanently.
My Laptop is the Asus G74Sx
I am hoping someone here can tell me there is a way to modify something in my BIOS in my laptop to increase the RPM of my cooling fans. Because my HD's, GPU, and everything else seems to be over heating.

Here is the CPU-Z & GPU-Z Data.

Make or buy a stand for it, then install a nice fan or two in the stand.

well... pfffttt... you must think I'm all kinds of handy with tools and stuff. I can sharpen a pencil, that's about it.

Or just pick this up. Haha. I have my alienware sitting on this and it keeps it nice and cool.

You certainly have accumulated dust with time.

Best thing to do is opening up your laptop (or taking it to a shop if you don't feel confident enough), cleaning it and changing the thermal paste.

You can blow out the heatsink with a bicycle pump. If you have one, an air compressor works as well, but set the nozzle to 25PSI or so to avoid bending fins.

Funny enough, I have this item, my laptop is on it, but the fans are too weak. The fans barely blow any air. But the manufacturer says that's how it's supposed to be.
