Amazing-Share Laptop Cooling Wizard creates and toggles on a "cool down" Power Plan option in the Control Panel with a

-- maximum processor speed of 50%,

-- display brightness of 60%, dimming to 30%

-- most other settings relating to performance are tuned to power-saving and sleep-preference

... they actually miss a few setting that could further cool a computer.

They charge $50.

We can do all of this MANUALLY, free.

Some folks say it also toggles the fan to be unregulated, that is, full speed, but not on my computer, so even "seeing" a fan, let alone controlling it, is up to what's available from any particular main system board chip sets and BIOS programming, I guess.
__________

I drill and Dremel holes in the bottoms of my laptops underneath the hard drive ( remove the hard drive and system board while drilling and Dremeling ), then an exterior fan can blow directly on the hard drive, while the interior fan exhausts hot air from over the processor and other chips -- my hard drive runs a little over room temperature, not at 82F, and my chops are at 102F to 111F, so it's time to supplement my room cooling, not just my computer cooling.

Fan-platform wise, I bought one of each offering from a local MicroCenter computer parts store priced from $6 to $60, and they all worked JUST THE SAME, no different in their ability, or lack of ability, to cool a laptop -- I found that the best cooling was the Dremel route I implemented and described above.

All modern laptop chips ARE "water cooled", just not enough.

WE could go the Apple route and just let our computers fry, and replace them often with new ones!

Yes, internal laptop screens take power, so Amazing-Share Laptop Cooling Wizard creates a "cool down" power plan in our Control Panel that dims the screen to 60% and the CPU to 50% -- turn off your internal screen and get even cooler.

It sounds like your system can't handle even 50% CPU speed, so ( 1 ) make sure it's properly greased and vented and fanned and ( 2 ) keep turning the speed down to find the actual speed the CPU SHOULD have been sold at ... for you, maybe 30% -- it could be a faulty CPU, so if you have a warranty, see if they'll replace it, or replace the entire system board, or the entire computer, as there may be an overheating anything in it's power supply or elsewhere.

Free AlMiCo SpeedFan software may give you more insight on various chip temperatures and fan speeds.

[ Ian Pride ],

Yes, your computer is already managing it's temperatures well.

This software is a TOGGLE, not a background program, NOT meant to be run all the time, as it drops the maximum CPU speed to 50% and screen brightness to 60% ( screen OFF would be cooler ! ).

See the new "cool down" Power Plan it puts in your Control Panel.

Fans running a high speed do not create more heat. In fact, it's the opposite. I have over 25 years of computer repair experience. Fans use very little power. Most are powered by 5w connectors. Fans are designed to run at high speed and can run 24/7. In all the systems I've let run 24/7 for years I've had one or two fans die.

shegeek72, I agree with you about fans using little power and can run 24/7 as I have multiple servers which have run for >5 years without problems. However I still believe this is a poor implementation for laptops where battery run time is shortened by a constantly running fan (especially true when the cells get old & don't hold a charge well.)

One other reason why I think this is a bad idea is that I don't like the fan running constantly when the CPU is at idle & doesn't need cooling because of all the additional dust which accumulates. With my repair experience I'm always amazed about the size of the dust cloud generated when you shoot compressed air into a desktop power supply. It's more difficult to disassemble a laptop and give it a proper clean. Just my 2c.

shegeek72, not true, a fan running at 2000 rpm and a fan running at 6000 rpm creates more internal heat, not only from the double the power that it consumes, but the compressing of the air around the CPU, where it swirls in circles waiting for the air to leak out of the crevices and the tiny tunnel left by the manufacturer. That air tunnel is designed for idle fan speed or up to 2000 rpm and can not enable 3 times more air out. There is no intake air channel in a laptop and the same hot air is picked up by the fan and thrown back at the CPU. The cooling in a laptop should be done with cool surfaces not air, just touch the underneath a laptop and you will agree with me.

Zarf, you are overlooking the obvious problem, the fan is a heat sink for the CPU at the same time and the fan is as hot as the CPU, when you run that fan at high speed, you introduce even more heat inside the fan's coil and if the air has no place to go, the same air is picked up by the fan and pushed back on the CPU where it actually came from. I hope you see the relevance of a fan running at high speed.

shegeek72, I forgot to ask you, have you ever measured the power consumption of a fan loaded with ton of dust on the fins and around the bearing and barely moving even when the current to the fan is doubled?

Boris, sorry but I completely disagree with your two responses. 1 - the fan is NOT a heatsink for the CPU, the fan is used to move ambient temperature air OVER the heatsink which is conducing heat away from the PN junctions in the CPU which generate heat while changing states (that's why a faster CPU gets warmer than a slower CPU - in the old days a passive aluminum plate was enough.)

2 - It does NOT create more internal heat unless it was a sealed system. ALL well designed electronics with a fan have an intake and and outflow. Some create 'negative pressure' by blowing air out of the system while others create 'positive pressure' by blowing air into the system. If you move your hand around a laptop running some CPU intensive activity you will find a place where there is warm air blowing out. This is not some sort of convection oven like you describe.

.
[ Ban ],

Wow, have you actually experienced a manufacturer's interior inbuilt fan melting itself?

Over years of operation, I've experienced fan shaft and bearings becoming grungy and the fan sticking or making a wobbly-grinding noise, both of which respond to cleaning, a drop of light modern oil, or simple replacement.

It is also my experience that all fans run all the time, and the speed is the only thing that changes in modern EPA-rated computer systems.

If is also my understanding that Apple especially tried to eliminate using any fans at all for the sole purpose of making their computers quiet, Apple considering their components inside capable of withstanding very hot ( 140F+ ) operating temperatures ... and also Apple considering their computers throwaway past a certain age, preferring folks to buy a new computer, so if anything overheats and dies, just replace the whole thing.

I prefer things to run at room temperature, so I have fans running all the time on and in all my computers, and I have never experienced a fan melting anything simply because the fan was on ( I have experienced a cheapo 3rd party squirrel-cage fan who's circuit board shorted and overheated causing the cheapo plastic housing to bulge before it died ... once ).

Just asking -- please share s specific experience of an internal manufacturer's own fan melting, I'd like to know.

Thanks.
.

Boris, A fan loaded with dust obviously isn't going to function efficiently, just as any computer component isn't that's covered in dust.

.
[ Boris ],

Sorry your computer experience is with such awful designs -- probably need to be disassembled and custom fixed.

NONE of my dozens of laptops have the design compromises you suggest, especially after I open and Dremel and drill and gasket and re-grease to my desire.
.

.
[ Boris ],

Laptop fans are NOT mounted directly on the CPU and so can't transfer fan heat ( ? ) from the fan to the CPU.

Nothing in any fan will ever be as hot as a CPU can get.

And, no, a fan running at it's maximum speed does not generate heat to back-feed to the CPU, it simply does more of what the same fan does at lower speed, and that is, exhaust air from it's intake to it's outlet.

If you believe that eddy currents around your CPU are causing uncooled boiling points around airflow-obstructions, a thermal camera may help confirm, or disabuse you of such suspicions -- let us know what such a camera reveals for you, please share the pictures.

If you have a fan with no place for the air to go, something is broken, blocked, and needs to be fixed, and that is not a software problem.

Free AlMiCo SpeedFan software may help you see fan speeds and chip temperatures as you troubleshoot your hardware.

Good luck.

Amazing-share Laptop Cooling Wizard creates and toggles a low-power plan.

However, for me, as for you, apparently, it does not control my computer's fan or show or even know the temperature.

I can build and toggle a pow-power plan myself if I need it to reduce performance and heat generation, and save $50.
.

.
[ Robert ],

It also drops the maximum CPU speed to 50% and other power-plan toggles to reduce heat generation.
.

Weezie, you will never get a reply from them, what it does, it puts the fan on maximum speed, that is it.
I wonder if those tiny fans can run 24/7 at maximum speed for a year, they will burn and destroy your lap top at no time.

Weezie,

"How do I know this software is really working?"

CPUID HWMonitor. cpuid[.]com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

It'll tell you what the temp sensors report, and depending on what sensors are available, fan speeds & Much more data. It's a portable app -- just unzip the file & run it -- then use the PC/laptop, & when temps rise, fire up Amazing Laptop Cooling Wizard and see what happens.

That should also tell you if Amazing Laptop Cooling Wizard just maxes the fan speed as Sam posted, or applies a different curve... some manufacturers set a super conservative temp/fan speed curve to make the device quieter, only raising fan speeds when the CPU etc. get pretty hot, & ideally the app would make the fans spin faster at lower temps.

.
[ Sam ],

All fans in all computers run all the time the computer is on.

Have you ever experience a fan burning ( ! ) and destroying ( ! ) a laptop?

I've experience fan shafts and bearing getting dirty, the fan slowing or stopping, but running fine after cleaning and a drop of modern light oil.

Please share a specific experience of burning ( ! ) and destroying ( ! ) a laptop, thanks.

Richard, I just test it, what it did is, took off the AUTO fan control (default value) and did set it to MAXIMUM speed.
That was it. You can do that yourself without software install, access BIOS and set the fan to MAXIMUM, done.

Richard,

"Am I missing something, I thought all decent laptops came with temperature-controlled internal fan."

The fan(s) may increase speed later, at higher temps than you'd wish, in order to make the device quieter.

"You can do that yourself without software install, access BIOS and set the fan to MAXIMUM, done."

That's *IF* the bios lets you set/adjust fan speeds -- many do not. On this PC I can set the speed &/or the curve &/or the way each fan is controlled [e.g. PWM], but on my wife's 2-in-1 the bios has no fan settings whatsoever.

.
[ Sam ],

What BIOS and fan control do you have?

My HP Pavilion dv5 laptop has no software-level access or control for it's fan, so all this software did was create and toggle a power plan with maximum CPU speed of 50%, screen brightness 60%, dimming to 30%, and other power and performance turndowns.
.

.
[ peter ],

It's true -- quieter because the fans are probably running slower.

How do slow fans cool a computer better than fast fans?

They don't.

This software toggles the computer into a slower maximum speed mode, which some folks may never notice -- after all, how fast does a computer have to go if you're just reading a non-changing document display?

Ivanovich,... Speedfan 7.49? only 4.52?..ow is it better?

drewi,
Speedfan 4.49 shows the temperature of the CPU, GPU, HD0, Temp 1, Temp 2.
Speedfan uses the temperature sensors in the PC. That's all!
Much earlier the tensions were also shown.

Zen , you may upgrade its paid version.

Zen , The terms are a one-year license. After that you'll have to buy the software (or install another fan controller) if you want to continue using it.

[ zane ],

I just changed the date on my computer to one year ahead, and my fans suddenly turned backwards, adding back all the heat apparently taken away over the past year!
.

Amazing-Share,
Then why not give the program away instead of just an extended trial?

Why not just clean the laptop insides from all the accumulated dust?
Also change the thermal paste while you're at it.

There - some maintenance and you get a laptop that "runs like new" - no need for some shady shareware app.

Amazing-Share, yeah, right.
I don't care how fast that fan is spinning, your description of that dirty old laptop running like new is misleading bull$hit!
In the real world, that's not how things work. So, unless you have benchmark data comparing that laptop with its ratings when new, I will conclude that your story is mostly made up, and exaggerated to the max...

You offer a software solution for a hardware maintenance problem and say it won't hurt the laptop. I wish I could believe that you don't already know you are lying. I don't.

.
[ Amazing-Share ],

On that one computer you claim overheated and shut off ( ! ), you apparently were able to control the fan speed, but your software has no such power on my computer to control fan speed.

Otherwise, it looks like you create and toggle a power plan with maximum CPU speed of 50%, screen brightness 60%, dimming to 30%, and other power and performance turndowns, which generate less heat, I suppose you could consider that "cooling".

$50 for a power plan creator-and-toggler seems too much, I can do better manually with a maximum CPU of 5% when I walk away!

Plus, I've never experienced a laptop overheating ... though folks who put them on their bed and block the bottom cooling vents definitely send the CPU into self-protect cool-down-lower-speed mode.

So, does your programmer live in bed, or what is the overheating computer they were using, a self-built overclocked system, or what?
.

Amazing-Share, This code works. Thank you

Moe, It's perfectly safe to change the speed of the fan.

Roger, no it's not.

Philip Irvine, What experience do you have to say that changing a fan's speed is unsafe? There are both software and hardware devices that can change fan speed and, as others have said, computers do it automatically based on temperature. Computer fans are pretty hardy and can easily run thousands of hours before dying.

.
[ Philip Irvine ],

Correct, turning a fan speed down or off when components in it's path need cooling is unsafe-ish in that the components may overheat and die earlier than if they ran cooler.

But a fan itself is safe running at any speed the manufacturer made possible using it's inbuilt controls ranges, anywhere from off to maximum speed.

Of course anything living by friction or generating heat will wear out sooner with more friction or heat than with less friction or heat, but the consensus of long-term experience shared in this thread indicates that fans running full speed all the time are not a special-case problem for themselves or anything else, and that all fans that run at any speed need an occasional clean and lube regardless of their speed.

The safest and coolest laptop needing no repair is the one turned off ... but that is not useful advice.
