Laptop fan always on

Hi guys, hope you can help me.

My new Turion64 ML-30 Asus A6K notebook is really nice except for one
thing - the fan is always on, even when the system is completely idle.

CPU temp is usually ~43C. The fan comes on ~41C.

I don't understand why the fan should always be on. I thought AMD 64s
ran pretty cool?

I've heard you can slow down AMD 64s and make them cooler. How do I do
this? There's nothing in the BIOS and the Asus Power Gear thing doesn't
seem to work at all.

Any ideas?

Do you know which AMD64 is in the laptop - mobile low voltage, desktop,
etc? Is the Power Gear running in the system tray? Many of these type
of utilities need to be running to perform their functions.

According to the spec:

AMD Turion 64 Mobile Technology
1MB L2 cache
25W MT-30

It runs at 1600MHz.

The Asus Power gear thing won't let you select the low-power settings if
you're running off AC power. If you try to customise the available
profiles, the changes don't stick.

Is there anything else I can download that works?
