HWInfo cannot control GPU fans

[raidriar]

I have downloaded the latest HWinfo to try and control GPU fan speed in my Alienware M17x R1. I disabled EC support but that makes no difference. The fan control only works for CPU, not for GPU fans. Help?

This is a firmware limitation, which has been discussed a few times here. There's no fix possible for this.

I have some DSDT code, can this be useful? Can I inject additional sensors into the code to read from GPU?

Sorry, that's not useful. Also fans on those machines are not controlled via ACPI.
