I'm also experiencing this issue on a Thinkpad T410s. I've found that I can use thinkfan and set the max fan level above 7 to get the fan to run at top speed. May not be ideal but beats having the machine shutdown due to overheating when the fan is not exceeding 4500 rpm at Level 7.
Here's my thinkfan.conf settings: (0, 0, 55) (1, 48, 60) (2, 50, 61) (3, 52, 63) (4, 56, 65) (5, 59, 66) (127, 63, 32767) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/751689 Title: ThinkPads overheat due to slow fans when on 'auto' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/751689/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
