I need to know what motherboard the Sony Vaio VGN-S3XP has and the clockchipset. I have installed SpeedFan to try to control the fan in a better way. The noise of the fan is annoying!!
sony vaios are oem boxes designed to make sony as much of a profit as possible, not to make them better computers. consequently, you arent going to control any fans without opening the box and rigging up a homebuilt control system. such action would void any warranty the unit may have had, by the way.
Using SpeedFan you can alter the fan speed, thus theoretically changing the frequency of the fan and changing the noise level. Therefor I need the manufacturer of the motherboard to get the right variables set
