Yes my vents work perfect, however I use the fixed position control in the command center. I have not heard anything about the 3d drivers so you can use 3d glasses sounds interesting.

Be sure you have the latest BIOS installed.

Be sure no devices in Device Manager are in error.

Be sure you have the latest Command Center installed. You can update it inside the app and the bottom. Install it and reboot.

Go back into CC, edit your theme slightly and save a new copy. Go into Thermals and save a new copy. Go to AlienFusion, and set to High Performance. Exit out, reboot and see if your computer boots and works better now.
