Help - Fan control for Inspiron N5110
Is there any software can control the fan set temperatures on Inspiron N5110 ?
Currently the fan operates @ 58 Deg and stops @ 53 Deg C. This is very small range which will lead the fan to ON ... OFF .. ON .. OFF
The fan may operate and stops more than 10 times per minute !!! -- so much noise - fan will wear very very quickly.
Same thing detected in my friend's laptop (same model as mine N5110).
I tried the "passive" option in Win7, but it doesn't help a lot.
I really need a tool to reduce the low set temperature ( to be for example 40 Deg C instead of 53 Deg C) ..
or to force the fan to operate all time @ reduced speed If temp less than 58 Deg .. and to operate at full speed if temp exceeds the 58 Deg
There is one software you can use to force the fan to run all the time .. the software called "speedfan 4.4.5"
This software is supposed to control the fan based on the temperature, but unfortunately it cannot do that with this laptop model.. You can only force the fan to run all the time as I said ..
Hearing the fan ON all the time is better to hear it ON .. OFF .. ON.. OFF !
The fan has 2 speeds: 3300 RPM & 5000 RPM
But since I don't like this solution, I'll return my laptop and refund.. I'll pay a bit more for laptop engineered in a right way .. most probably with HP... never had such strange problems with HP !

Hi there i have exactly the same problem and its driving me nuts if you find a solution please reply. I do know that the XPS 15 had the same problem but dell have just released a new bios to fix the fan issue in that model, i really hope they release one for this model.
