T400 cooler program [ Edited ]

[Geodomus]

Hello everyone

short question: is there ANY program to access the cooler of my T400 or my ATI HD 3400 series? because i'm using it for gaming now and then, and (of course) shuts down when it gets too hot.

Having Win7 X64

Any answers apreciated

Yes, TPFanControl should work. Set the fan speed to 64 to set it to max. Typical operation is from 0-7.

as suggested download the program and run it, what temp are you getting? it should not shut down if you play games.

Try to clean the heatsink/fan by taking off the palmrest and keyboard, then blow off any dusts on the fan/heatsink. If that don't work, then try to seek warranty support (if you have it).

TpFanControl doesn't start, it sais "WinIO.sys not in the app folder or not loaded"
