For those who have not used this program before:  Bacillus is 100% correct.  You have to actually enable fan and temp control with a check box.  They are not on by default.  The utility also shows CPU load and HD temp.  For the fans, it shows status and actual speed in RPM. 

For interested i9200 owners:  my fans are running at status: SLOW, which is right around 77000 RPM.  CPU temp is 32 C.  HD is 42 C.  I'm currently running only RealPlayer and one browser session.  I'm in central Texas, w/o air conditioning on at the moment.  My living room is about 80 F.  I'm sweating....but the 9200 is not.

Thanks, Bacillus.

I've just installed this program to my 9100 purchased mid last year. I've had so many problems with this computer but it seems to be running ok right now.

My CPU is running at 50oC and my HDD at 31oC. This seems hot compared to most of the stats people have posted bout their own system. Does anyone have some effective solutions for the fan noise on the 9100? I've heard recommendations to change back to the superseded chip brand and maybe that I need more RAM (currently 1Gb).

I'm running mainly audio software with an external sound card. Multitracking up to 8 channels simultaneously and finding that the device clicks in and out often and that the cursor in Cubase doesn't always keep up with the track.

And how do people find the 18KFangui software for regulating fan speed and cpu temp?

thanks
