About two months back I got a 15 inch Alienware laptop(literally the one sold here for specs:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SIJGGGC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00)
It's been getting fairly hot and it occurred to me that in the entire time I've had it I've never actually heard the fan or felt air coming from the vents on the bottom.
When I've checked the cpu temperatures have usually been in the 60-65 degrees celsius range even while just browsing the internet.
So I thought I'd try some manual fan control to at least be sure the fans are working.
All of the guides related to AW15 seem to suggest using HWinfo, So I downloaded and installed the 64 bit version but I'm not seeing the fan icon described in the Sensor window- what I See is:
Every other screenshot I've seen in guides and whatnot has a fan icon down at the bottom of this window where I don't have anything-
Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
