As the machine starts to get warm, the fan does come on, but I'm not convinced it is working at anywhere near its top speed. I haven't found much for fan settings in the BIOS or operating system, but there has to be something. Where would I find it? And how hard is it to tweak the fan control settings so it goes to a higher speed at a lower temperature?
