Anyone have experience with this?
My new x140e's fan is running at 590rpm with the CPU/GPU temp at low
50s C. I have a SSD, so drive temp is not much of an issue.
The fan is noisy. The old x120e ran at 450rpm with temp of 60s C and
was just fine.
I am going through the various docs and samples, but have yet to
figure out what to do. The fan variables for the x140 look to be the
same as the x120.
thanks for any help
It's been a long time since I looked at this, but there are various
settings in the kernel for how aggressive to be with the fan. From run
full tilt all the time for power users to maximum power conservation. I
think there is a way to even set the option from the /proc hierarchy,
but all such detail is forgotten by me, and you will have to search for
the details or wait for someone more knowledgeable to respond. Or
maybe you have already been through this and it is something else.
