Dell Xps M1210 Fan Control Software
Drmbuster 4.5.4 Keygen on this page. Dell Inspiron/Latitude/Precision fan control. By using this software you are changing. Temperatures and to control the fan operation on the Dell Inspiron. Dell Fan Control Utility, free dell fan control utility software downloads. Reported to work also with Dell XPS M1710, Dell XPS M1530.

If I change the values to 2800 or 4200 the fan is rotating with that speed. If I set all temperatures up to 60C to 1187 the fan still starts sometimes.
It would be nice if I could also set 1200 for example. Do you know why it is not possible, is it in the bios? In response to original thread: Let me start from beginning and since you seem to have technical background, I can go into details I suppose the IT8518E is just one of several dozens of different Embedded Controllers (EC). Twinbee Snes Rom Download. Which EC chip is used on a particular system doesn't matter much in terms of fan control. The important thing is the program that this EC runs (firmware). It's a proprietary piece of system and is usually developed by ODMs.
So even in case of DELL, this part can be designed by Quanta, Compal, etc. They design the core and add DELL-specific requirements. Now we come to the point - usually parts developed by a particular ODM (including EC firmware) follow their own internal design and thus work similar for several platforms. So for example you can have a Toshiba notebook and an Alienware/DELL notebook which both were designed by the same ODM (e.g.

The point is that on both of them you can control the fans using the same method This means esentially, that the Host-EC interface and EC RAM layout (which you check/modify in RW-Everything) is very similar. Now, every notebook/model is designed using different concepts from different ODMs. This means that there's no universal method to control all such systems. It's very hard to determine particular implementation and EC registers and their meaning. Now let's go a bit back.
The ODM (e.g. Compal) designs a board for an OEM (e.g. But DELL has its own requirements and adds something to that design. DELLDIAG - their own system for diagnosing, monitoring and controlling the computer. So DELLDIAG has an uniform top interface to the host (proprietary) and on the bottom interfaces with ODMs implementation including the EC (and fan control). So for most DELL machines it's possible to access/control proprietary components using an uniform interface. Now the answer to your question - on your notebook, HWiNFO doesn't access the EC directly, but uses the DELLDIAG interface instead.
AFAIK, this interface is nowhere in public documented, you can find some details in the i8kfangui sources if you wish. This interface uses software-triggered SMIs to execute the SMM-handler which then transforms the requests to particular system/EC implementation. Fan control in DELLDIAG also doesn't work directly with fan RPM speeds, but levels instead. So when HWiNFO sets a particular fan speed, it tells the system which level to set. The interface also allows to ask what RPM belongs to a particular fan level. So when you set a certain speed and it doesn't reflect it, then it's probably a fault in the firmware and I can't do much about that.
I hope this helps to understand the situation a bit more.
Is there a program that I can install that will allow me to have dynamic control over the laptops fans? I don't see any options in the BIOS that control the system fans? The laptop gets very very hot. The laptop gets so hot I can't put it on my lap? I have only heard the system fans turn on 1 time so far in the past 2 days so I know they work but they don't seem to kick on until the laptop is almost on fire:( I know there are programs like this that allow you to control the fans using WinXP but not sure what will work with Vista? Anyone have something they found that is working? I8kfangui seems like the best option out there.
I have been using it for a couple days and it helps. It has user customizable presets, but those don't seem to work on the 1710.
I think that the OS or the BIOS keeps setting the fan speeds back to slow. I just set the 'force fans to high speed' option before playing a game or using photoshop. Also, you might want to go into options >Display options and set the 'Fan Setting Enforcement' to 10 msec.
It defaults at 200 msec, but that makes the fans turn on and off every 2 seconds for some reason.
