Is it a good idea to upate even if I havent had any issues?

[Justin_W@XoticPC]

If you have no complaints about the fan noise and everything is working perfect, i would leave the system as is and not do any firmware updates.

A new Sager NP579x EC(Fan) firmware has been released and posted on www.sagernotebook.com version 1.00.07Sd

This release should prevent the GPU fan from turning off and on with in low temperature environment when Fn+3 mid-fan speed is enabled.

Hi, how do I update the fan firmware? I downloaded it from sagernotebooks.com and when I decompress it I get an an empty iso file?

You burn that .iso file onto a CD, and boot with it. You press ok when the setup asks to continue, and wait for confirmation and follow on screen instructions.
