G73jh BIOS fan setting

[Aibee]

I have a G73jh and I updated my bios to 211 recently, and I found out that the fan setting have been changed from bios 209, which the fan speed runs at 30% all time. I wanted the quiet bios 209 one so I back flash the bios from 211 to 209, but the fan setting doesn't seem to be changed back to the bios 209 setting and the fan is still running at 30% all time.

I have loaded the optimized defaults in BIOS already but that didnt work, so is there anything I can do to get back to the bios 209 fan setting?

Thanks for reading my problems !

seems like my GPU still idles at 58-60C ;(
Sadly I've tried everything that I could, I have updated my vBIOS to v93, BIOS to 211 and repaste my laptop + cleaning the fans with brushes. What else do you think I can do guys :o?

Btw my CPU idles at 49-52C

Could be perhaps the GPU voltage is too high? I have an ATI 4670HD desktop card that I OC'ed using RivaTuner. Once I read and exported the BIOS of the card from GPU-z, I could load it up in RivaTuner and noticed that all my voltages were maxed out already (at stock settings), but I could drop them if I wanted to. You could try undervolting the same way (down to the limit of the card's stability under game load) and see what it does to your temps.

Otherwise, a) when you had the heatsink off for your repaste, did you notice if it was making good contact with the chip? I.e. a nice even coat of paste on both HS and chip hen you removed it? Or, b) did you check if your HS/pipe assembly was twisted or otherwise not flat? A bit of lapping of the HS might help to make better contact with the GPU chip (with less trapped air between).

Just thinking out loud. Those CPU temps are rather high for idle (my 2630QM idles at 40C at room temperature, but thats in a G74 with its good cooling system).
