M miknich New Member Jan 29, 2015 #1 Dell Latitude 3330, the latest BIOS A05, Win7 64, HWiNFO64 4.50 When I set a certain target fan speed in HWiNFO, it keeps it only for a second and then the fan speed goes back to the default (firmware) speed. What can be done?

Martin HWiNFO Author Staff member Jan 29, 2015 #2 I'm afraid, there's nothing I can do - the firmware fights against HWiNFO and unfortunately it always wins.. You should contact DELL.

M miknich New Member Jan 29, 2015 #3 I doubt DELL will help BTW, the fan controller in this laptop is EMC4021. But it seems you don't control hardware directly. Unfortunatelly FN+SHIFT 1,5,3,2,4 FN+SHIFT R combo does not work on this laptop. Does anybody know any other ways to get into thermal control menu?
