Does anyone know of some kind of software that can control the fan of the NC10, much like the eeectl for the EEEPC’s? There is a similar program for the Acer Aspire One (I’ve tried them both but no they do not work on the NC10 and I really didn’t think they would, but I had to try 🙂 )
I’m looking for a program that can change the settings for when the fan should turn on or disable it completely.
nothing that I know of, are you having issues with yours? I can honestly say I haven’t heard mine yet! (could mean I have a problem with mine though…)
You might try SpeedFan:
I was just looking through the MagicKBD program directory to see if there any clues as to why the key customizing doesnt work (but run keyset.exe and it says sabi.dll missing – strange as sabi2.dll is used
WHEN
I found dmbmodule.ini which includes
[CPUFanInfo]
Checktime=60
Application=Samsung DMB.exewhich is also strange as I couldnt find it
Trying to choose netbook to buy and came across this forum. One of my main considerations is quietness. Have read Asus Eee’s have noisy fans. Someone on EEE forum wrote they got a Samsung NC-10 and the fan isn’t on all the time like it is with the Eee – is that true? How often do you think your fan is on?
The fan is on rarely and even when it runs is very quite, as previously said. You really need it to be quite or hold next to your ear to hear.

In normal mode I find the fan to be on most of the time though it’s generally not noticeable unless I’m in a quiet room. In quiet mode I find the fan is off most of the time.Though if you are looking for a really quiet netbook, maybe you should take a look at the Dell Mini 9 which has no moving parts.
Thanks for replying. Asus 1000H seems to have reputation for noise. Dell Mini 9 looks good but SSD not large enough for all my files. Will probably get NC-10.
The fan is rarely running on my NC10, and even when it is, it is of short duration and is very quiet.
I have now disconnected my fan. Not because of the noise but because of the power drain, The operating temperature of the CPU is up to 60 degress and playing movies it just reaches 50 degress. See how long I dare to keep this up though 😉
Can people please state their OS when posting in this thread? That way, we can eliminate Vista’s resource hogging as a cause. I use XP and mine is quiet as a charm unless I am doing like 50 things on the comp at once.

@saurey: Good idea! Some relevant info posted in my sign.
Fan still disconnected: No problem so far.
running vista sp1, tweaked for performance (disabling various services that run in the background and use the hdd, indexing, shadow copy, ntfs compression and so on).
fan comes up but the tweaking helped!not only should everyone tell the os he runs, but also the bios version, as the latest bios is said to make the fan come up more often.
