Hello guys, recently I installed Windows 7 on my Acer Predator G9-591G(because I couldn't stand Windows 10 anymore) and I am encountering a very annoying problem: Predator Sense won't install on Win 7. Which means that there is no way to control the fan, so it just starts working on full speed as soon as I turn on the laptop and keeps doing it even though there is absolutely no need for it. Is there a way to fix this? I tried SpeedFan but it doesn't detect the fan. I also checked in BIOS but there don't seem to be any settings about the fan in it. So is there a way to make Predator Sense work on Win 7 or any other solution? Or am I just screwed? Thanks in advance!

    Win 10 is far better than 7, do a clean install of win 10, otherwise you will have to live with Max fan speed.

    Hi. after  a full all day of scouting the net after some fixes for the app fan controller i`ve find out that it is a fix for users that upgraded to Windows 10. so I find this on web. it works on my Acer Aspire 5755G fine.

    I figured it out if you still dont know how.

    • Download this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4nx8sq7egpdqlyu/FanController.rar?dl=0

    • Unzip to C:/ and it wil create a folder FanController  like this C:\FanController

    • Inside "\install" run common.exe, its going to ask you to remove the driver. Do so (Restart)  and then reinstall them by running common.exe again until the drivers are reinstalled. 

    • once they're renistalled run fancontroller.exe and set it to high
