My GPU Tweak is something like this. Toggling GPU on full speed does nothing, it still shows 500 RPM (also can't feel any difference, no increased sound made by the fan or anything).
Max temp on CPU when streaming was something like 87 I think. No thermal throttle occured.
cremvursi, the Asus GPU Tweak for GPU has worked on some other models than G75JM/JS/JZ, but if the Full Fan control isn't working then at least that feature isn't supported on your g56jk-dm156d.
You can use Windows Snipping Tool to grab a shot of your actual dialog, so we can see what it says.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/use-snipping-tool-capture-screen-shots#1TC=windows-8If your laptop didn't come with Asus GPU Tweak for Laptops, it is worth trying, but it isn't guaranteed to work. The Optimus laptops can't use the normal Asus GPU Tweak for Graphics cards, which works pretty much on all ROG Laptops except for the ones with Optimus.
On the laptops without Full Fan control feature, it will automatically run the fan as fast as it will run as needed. If your GPU fan isn't running at full speed it is because it isn't running hot enough to need full fan speed.
If you need to hear the limits of fan function, you can run prime95 small FFT test and Furmark Burnin 15 minute test to run up the CPU fan and GPU fan respectively.
Asus sets their fan curve to run the fan at low speeds to stay quiet, but keeps the CPU/GPU cool enough for normal operation. You won't have the fan noise intrude until the CPU or GPU get hot enough to require the additional cooling.
Nothing to worry about.
You can use hwinfo64 and turn on logging to create a .csv file you can read later in Excel to see the minute (or 2 minute) by minute reading for temperatures (and other data) - look for Thermal Throttling (changes from No to Yes) that is the point where performance is affected as the CPU throttles itself for protection against high temperature. Likely as not peak Termperature readings only happen occasionally - the rest of the time the temperatures will be in the 70c-80c range.
Please do come back and let us know how your laptop does with prime95 small fft test and furmark burning test - you only need to run them for 5 minutes - together or independently - to get a good max temperature reading - no sense running them for longer than 15 minutes.
Have fun
