If a fan becomes a pain and no software can manage it, it's still possible to do it by a circuit. In the web there are a lot of howtoes, e.g. this German with pics how to solder it: http://www.modding-faq.de/index.php?artid=507&page=2 This seems to be no good one, but there might be some in the web. Maybe it's hard to iron SMD for a laptop, but I guess it's possible to get such hardware for less money.
