Dell PCI/Fan Blower Question

Is there any way to control it when I want it to turn on, or how fast I want it to run, especially when I'm playing games? Would programs like ATI Tool or others be able to help me?

    I've had (or rather still have...) a heat problem with my graphics card and now use RivaTuner. This allows you to turn the graphics card fan on and off. Works great.

    I would like to know, however, if there is a similar program to control the other fans. Anyone?

    Another option would be SpeedFan,  I have it downloaded on my PC.  Just Google it.

    Thank you, Oletymer. I tried Speedfan but it won't give me any info on the fans. Just the HD temperature. I read somewhere in this forum that Dell PC's don't have some sensor thingies, so Speedfan won't work with Dells.
    I've got a Dimension 5000, what's yours?

    I have installed on the Gateway in my Sig.  It monitors the CPU, Case and HD temps. It also reads the RPM of all my fans.   I dont use it to change speeds because my PC has variable speed intake and exhaust fans controled by the computer.  I haven't tried it on any of my Dells.
