There are several vendors that will do if for you, but.... They will charge you more then it will cost to buy the equipment to do it yourself.. Plus, changing the fan temperature takes about 3 seconds, and you have the ability to keep learning as you go.

You will need some software to edit the bins.. I use tunerpro rt.
You will also need either an aldl cable and chip burner, or an ostrich. The ostrich is a realtime chip emulator that replaces the stock chip and interfaces via usb. You can read all about it at that link.
