DELL LATITUDE E6430 I5 pro

hello there not sure if this is windows related.well i have installed speedfan software and this laptop i have is at 55-60 running and the fan is quiet kind of i was wondering is there any way of speeding up my fan at lower temperatures.i cant figger out this speedfan settings and im afraid of frying my laptop.here is what i think is my fan maybe DELL $3E8 on ISA then it shows temperature 1 offset not sure what i should put that to.

I've been in the same situation and can't help you on that. There is another solution, though, Notebook Fancontrol, and there is a help file available here.

thanks all you guys for this info i know this laptop is clean as i have pulled the back off its good in there.i was looking on my dell e6430 and its only got one copper pipe in it do u think i can put the 2 pipe one in there and do away with the thermal pad and put in a copper shim in there instead.thanks guys love if this might work currently its running at 55-60 Celsius.and the fan is really quiet.

If the fan is quiet you have headroom to work with, if you can get NBFC to work. The e6430 apparently has a rep for overheating. The pad is used to allow for MB flexing between the cpu and gpu. You will have to determine if that can be ignored. Or maybe use a thinner pad with the shim.

thanks you are maybe right about the flexing thats what i guessed.just thought maybe .can u please step me through the NBFC to work process. i have got this core temp software working only thing is just dont know what way to work it as all my looking up onj the net it different than what i got

hello again sorry to be a pain ive tried everything to ajust this dell e6430 fan and its driving me nuts seems like its only got 2 speeds.slow and fast i cant ajust it any way and ive tried hw64_510 also that dont work either and i think this bios dont have any way to change it either im wondering am i doing anything wrong

I've not cracked that nut yet either. Now that I have the instructions for NBFC that I linked to I intend to try it again sometime, but I'm not there yet.

Pardon my ignorance not sure what NBFC is. I've looked through my bios to see if I can turn up the fan but no joy in bios it says fan rpm and with 3 settings like slow medium and high and TBH there all the same nearly around 3700rpm I google it 2 to no avail either
