SpeedFan messed up fan

I had SpeedFan on my laptop but I didnt understand how to use it so i uninstalled it and now my laptop doesnt use its fan like it used and it overheats too much now. It also did not create a restore point before it installed. Is there a way to fix it?

Re: SpeedFan messed up fan

reinstall speedfan , goto the advanced options and set PWM1 from software controlled to hardware controlled , that will put the control of the fan back in the hands of your bios.

Its been a while since i used speedfan i assume its still the same
good luck

Although I can't offer any advice on SpeedFan, I use 18kfangui with excellent results. But it's only for Dell.

Because it's powerful, it may be able to grab control from SpeedFan

Re: SpeedFan messed up fan

upon firing up speedfan you should see these 4 values, now one of them will be connected the the CPU HSF, you will have to manually alter it on start up every time..
