Lenovo Thinkpad Fan Control
I use my brand new P50 with the new workstation dock an two external monitors. If they are active, the system fans moslty run at high speed causing annonying sound, although there is no system load.I suspect that the NVIDIA graphics is acitvated if external monitors are attached.
And this causes the fans to speed up. I already tried the BIOS setting 'balanced' for the fans in AC mode and set the the fan control to 'quiet' using the lenovo settings tool in Windows 10.
But none of them helped.How can I get a quieter fan?Regards. I found out that the fan control is mainly influenced by the temperature reading of the PCH:- The fan starts at a temperature of 69 °C- The fan stops at a temperature of 65 °CWhen the Notebook is placed in the dock and external monitor are on, the idle power consumption raises from 25W to 32W. Grabbee download. This seems to be enough the heat the PCH over 69°C an the fan starts.
Lenovo laptops, and laptops in general, are prone to overheating due to their cramped construction. When running many programs on the laptop, the CPU becomes very hot, which can cause the laptop to shut down. Some newer Lenovo laptops have adjustable fan control, which means the CPU fan speeds vary directly with the CPU temperatures.
The the temperature drops again and the fan stops at 65°C, which makes the temperature to raise again. So in the end we have a continuous start/stop-cycle while there is no significant system load. The CPU temperature is always below 42°C.Question: Which is the normal range of the PCH temperature? Is there not enough cooling of the PCH?
Or is the fan controller just too sensible?Thanks for any help!

Hello Sir,I was facing a problem that my IBM thinkpad R50 e was getting stuck up after 1 hour of usage. Code: // profile 'Smart Mode 1'// Celsius: // Fahrenheit:// change values and number of items for your needs//!!!! 'Level' FAN 0 80 - switch to Fahrenheit!!!!Level=60 0 // Level=140 0Level=65 1 // Level=150 1Level=75 3 // Level=165 3Level=80 7 // Level=175 7Level=90 64 // Level=195 64// optional 2nd profile 'Smart Mode 2', switched by icon menue// change values and number of items for your needs// to deactivate, insert leading '//' into following linesLevel2=22 0 // Level2=70 0Level2=33 1 // Level2=90 1Level2=38 2 // Level2=100 2Level2=44 3 // Level2=110 3Level2=55 7 // Level2=130 7Level2=66 64 // Level2=150 64Level2=77 128 // Level2=170 128. I live at a place where room temperature normally is about 35 degreesyou should try to reduce heat production by undervolting (RMClock) and/or setting processor speed to 'ADAPTIVE' or 'DEGRADE' in WinXP power scheme, using ATI powerplay, and switching to standby at non-working time.
All air entrances especially underneath must not be clogged. Additionally, if you are able to dismantle your TP R50e, you should keep your fan clean by cautious vacuum cleaning and thermal grease between processor chip and heatsink (fan) in a good working condition (replace if needed).ciao, troubadix.

Conventional fan speed of 7 above 48 degrees (coming from below) and unconventional unregulated fan speed of 64 (coming from higher temps) and your icon switching temp of 50 degrees should not be reached so often.additionally you have set: IconColorFan=1that will keep the icon in different shades of green when the fan is running.2. There should be no problem or extra processor load setting Cycle= to 1 or 2,3,4. Processor load for TPFanControl.exe always should be below 2% in task manager. Thanks, for the utility as well, it is phenomenal, donation on the way.do you think the hdd can be upgraded to ssd?- the 3D driver whatever in your signature, what is it? Anything that could downclock my gpu? In my Ati Catalyst Powerplay Foreplay thing, I only found two settings, battery optimized and high performance, I assume the battery option downclocks itI managed to buy the only TP where the graphics are not switchable.a bit pi.s.ed off, but not too much, the T costs almost two times that, I will not need mobility or high portability from this machine, it is basically a second desktop, to be also used for work at night.

Weird, it's approx the same today. TPCF, core temp and real temp 3.4 are getting the same results. I just downloaded hw monitor pro and the result is the same.I admit I haven't compare the temperature results other than yesterday.
I just installed Win7 64bit and rmclock and was undervolting so I wanted to check the temperatures.I'll reboot and double check.update: It's the temperature readings are the same now. I guess something was screwing up the temperatures reading for the other programs before and increasing it by 10c.
The other temperature results are now consistent with TPCF's lower temperature readings. Thanks!update2: more weirdness. Seems like when the laptop(x61t) comes out of sleep, all the tpcf readings were 5c lower than other programs. The tpcf reading were consistent with readings that I got when all the programs gave approx the same reading prior to going to sleep/standby.
(I haven't testing this multiple times to see if it happens again.) After rebooting, the results were approx the same again (+- 2c). I'd rather suggest to rely on TPFC, 'cause TPFC relies on embedded controller, and embedded controller is independent of any operation system and sleep or standby states. You can check it activating a thermal emergency shut down by stressing cpu while keeping an eye on cpu temps and comparing temps with shut down temps of manufacturer data.But keep in mind what Intel says: 'The reading of the external thermal sensor (on the motherboard) connected to the processor thermal diode signals does not reflect the temperature of the hottest location on the die.'
