[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 821208, member: 2960"] The fans are designed to come on when needed. They run at the RPM they were intended to run at, for the period of time that is necessary until the temperature is reduced to the hardware's acceptable level. If the hardware's heat is elevated past its peak for safe, reliable operation the computer will shut down as a failsafe. There is no need to override this. Any time that you override it, you open the up the possibility (even if only slight) that more problems could occur. Just like when people overclock processors or GPU chips... it might work fine for a long time that way... but you could put that hardware at risk by doing so. [/QUOTE]
