Lenovo Y510P Fan Control

[icabass3]

Hey all! Is there any way to control the system fan??

I've tried Speed Fan, and MSI Afterburner with no success.

There is a feature called 'Dust Removal' that spikes the fan to 100% of and on for about a minute.

Has anyone been successful in controlling the fan?

-Thanks!

Most fans come with a control knob, with Off and then High-Med-Low (some don't have Medium).


...more seriously, please tell us about your system, specifically including the motherboard, and the fan you are using.

Its Lenovo's Y510P Laptop. It has the Intel Core i7-4700MQ @ 2.4Ghz.
8GB DDR3 Ram
Nvidia GeForce GT755M 2GB

It has the stock motherboard inside, with the stock cooling fan though I cannot locate the "Name" of the board / fan anywhere inside the BIOS or via Google either

Seemingly as it has the "Dust removal Feature" it doesn't have any further controls anywhere on the laptop, or in the Operating System (And also BIOS) that I can find

Hmmm, I've never tried to control the fan on a laptop; not sure it can be done?
