Hello, Is there any program that I can use to check the speed my fans running at, I have a AR21M and the fan has started to make a clicking noise and a slight burning smell, If it needs replacing how would I go about doing that?
Thanks
Hi matthewhotdude
You can use something like..
SIW (System Information for Windows), If you've downloaded the Standalone SIW.exe it does not install on your system, you can download the standalone version using the following link: SIW standalone
For information on SIW click HERE
Or
Speedfan, use the following link to download: SpeedFan
For more information on Speedfan click HERE
Thanks used sisw and speed fan, Neither of which tell me about the fan status, But my temps are Cpu 70oc GPU diode 84.5oc
How do I get into the fan to clean it? Do I have to take the laptop completly apart?
Hi,
I would try using compressed air from a can to try to clear the cooling vents. Quite honestly your temperatures are within normal limits under load.
I don't think the Sony ACPI provides fan information.
Try HWMonitor 1.08
