With my R61 running first Debian Squeeze then Jessie the fan had run continuously if very quietly. When the fan had mechanically failed - silently :< - I didn't know I had a problem until things started acting erratically. The Jessie install on the T430 is as near possible identical as on the old R61 as they had been installed using the same preseed.cfg file.
