Fan problems - HP pavilion

[rwillis]

Hey guys I have an HP Pavilion DV7-1130 with Windows Vista Home. Lately the fan in the back has started making all sorts of annoying noises and has been a real pain in the ***. I was just wondering if there was a way to get it to shut the hell up without actually opening the computer. I'll do that if I have to, but is it possible to set up RivaTuner or another such program such that I could just turn off the fan?

Thanks

All fans in laptops are critical components. The noisy fan needs to be replaced, not defeated
