Your bios is locked or lack options and your gpu doesn't come with its own fan so out of control of both the nvidia driver and application like afterburner.

As the title suggest, this is a guide on how to control your laptop's fan speed.įirst, why would you want to control your laptop fan speed? Well, because many OEMs like to throttle your cpu's and gpu frequencies under heavy load instead of cranking up the fan speed to deal with the high heat.
