Hello, Have you been running a dell laptop? And, well, you've wanted to control your fan speed? Well, You've came to the right place, Its really simply, you guys. Dell Inspiron/Latitude/Precision fan control. By using this software you are changing the. And to control the fan operation on the Dell Inspiron/Latitude.

Thanks oscer1 the laptop is a dell inspiron 15R, aka n5010 its a core i5 4gb ram and 500 gb hdd and 1 gb dedicated 1gb video card.

Well, I don't think you can't simply replace the heatsink like you could in a desktop. In a desktop, as long as you have enough space and the correct socket compatibility you can install just about any heatsink you want. For a laptop it is different. I don't think there is another heatsink except the one that comes with the laptop. Standard Horizon Hx300 Manual there.

I could be wrong. There might be some dust built up inside your laptop. A technician can clean it out, if you do not want to open the laptop to check. You might want to replace the thermal paste with something better like Arctic Silver 5 or IC Diamond. If they actually have a better heatsink then go for it I suppose. Yeah dust is usually the main cause of laptop overheating problems. But not just clogging up the fan. Crack Plugin Cinema 4d R14 Studio Mac Foundation.

Check all the airvents are clear too. Your heatsink fan setup shouldnt be a problem as it was designed specifically for the components in that laptop. Wear and tear to the fan could possibly slow down the rpms causing heat issues but you would probably notice the difference in the sound of the fan.

Replacement fans are available - but in my experience most laptops have different size/shape fans so you would have to get the correct oem fan for your Dell machine. Might be worth checking ebay. That depends. Some laptops have to be stripped right down down to access the fan/heatsink assy. Others have a removable panel on the underside. I seem to remember that most of the dell models i have worked on have had the removable panel which makes it extremely easy but no doubt some dell models will not have this!
