Re: [ibm-acpi-devel] "auto" fan level not working on Z61t?

2007-07-31 Thread Raphael
Well, i am not too much concerned about the heat. I just would like to understand how lenovo designed the thresholds because it does not make much sense. Also, i wonder what is the behaviour under windows, anyone could try? I mean, does windows control the heat and fan speed accordingly, or doe

In this case, it looks more like it behaves like this as "per design", rather than a broken bios implementation... I had a thinkpad a22p before which was happily going up to 94deg before throttling back. What i don't understand though, and hope lenovo would explain is why, if the aim is to mini

I have also a z61t and I did raise a support request to lenovo, will see, still, I was a bit puzzled, so did a few tests, on mine (with an earlier version of firmware), when in auto mode and full load: - default speed is ~2800rpm (level 4) - fan speed increases to ~3500rpm (level 7) at 92deg, - th

[ibm-acpi-devel] "auto" fan level not working on Z61t?

2007-07-23 Thread Tomasz Torcz
Hi, short version: when set to "auto" fan never accelerates beyond 2800. CPU can get very hot. Long version: I have Z61t with Core Duo 2GHz and latest BIOS (2.18, 7FHT26WW-1.08). Fan on "level 1" speed spins at about 1600 RPM, "level 7" is 3500 RPM. When set on auto, fan starts at 0 RPM. Whe
