[Kernel-packages] [Bug 751689] Re: [Lenovo Thinkpad x201s] Overheat due to slow fans when on 'auto'

I know it is long time since this was opened, however herewith I want to declare that this problem still exists nowadays in all Thinkpad line and it is not related to Linux. From all what I have learned so far there is only one conclusion: Lenovo is gapping its fans to keep their products at low

John, note that the 'high -> won't fix' comes from importing Red Hat's bugzilla statuses. Furthermore, this bug has been such a dumping ground that it's probably best to ignore this bug entirely and file a new issue if you're still seeing problems. Thanks -- You received this bug notification

In response to #161. Since 14.04 at least both my X201 Core i5 and X230 Core i7 no longer reach thermal shutdown. It appears that the reason is that the CPUs are more aggressively down-clocked as temperature rises. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 751689] Re: [Lenovo Thinkpad x201s] Overheat due to slow fans when on 'auto'

This issue is occuring for me since a very long time; using Windows the fans have a much higher speed setting compared to using Linux and the thinkpad-acpi driver. However, since the use of Maverick I experience a lot more automatic shutdowns, triggered by thinkpad-acpi, due to overheating.

That driver allows using the GPU for video encoding/decoding, which reduces the load on the cpu during those activities, and thus, the heat it generates. A heavy load will still cause it to overheat because the real bug is that the bios does not speed up the fan correctly when it does get too

As others have noted, the workaround is to set the fan to disengaged mode so that it runs at full speed. As for it previously being worse; in some cases it sounds like there may have been less dust in the fan at an earlier time, and in others, various changes over time may have caused the cpu to
