I'm the person who figured out how the EC worked on the acer 1410, and 
sent the first patches in to make acer-hdf work on my 1410.

The bios turns the fan on full blast, and never throttles it.  there is 
another 3rd party application, for Windows7 that also does the same thing.

The CPU is CULV; ie:
