Most posts in of this nature complain about the fan running too frequently.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 23 Aug 2009 18:08:08 GMT https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/pcs-accessories/heating-cooling/m-p/87192#M52927 rich912 2009-08-23T18:08:08Z Re: HEATING / COOLING https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/pcs-accessories/heating-cooling/m-p/87194#M52928 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><PRE __jive_macro_name="quote" class="jive_text_macro jive_macro_quote">is there a way of MANUALLY turning it on ?????<BR /></PRE><BR /><BR />You can manually control the fan but as the others suggest you could damage your pc if, say, the pc needed more cooling but you've manually changed it to 60%.<BR /><BR />Google "Speedfan", and it'll allow you to do it!<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 24 Aug 2009 11:31:53 GMT https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/pcs-accessories/heating-cooling/m-p/87194#M52928 sonypass33 2009-08-24T11:31:53Z
