For me the issue is fixed in Saucy, by doing a few things. I am not sure if it is the combination or one of them did the trick: - Installing: intel-microcode -> Update of the CPU-Firmware - running thinfan with the attached configuration (note: you must look for more detailed installation instructions on the net, the sensor settings are for a X201 only. You need to adjust them for other machines) - installing i965-va-driver - I also have updated my Bios to the latest version. But this was a while ago and did not help. But it may contribute to it.
Before that I had an average temperature of 80 and quite often sudden peaks leading to 100 and a shutdown. Now I have a permanent temperature below 60 and only a few peeks above. What I am sure of is that it did not help to have thinkfan installed, did not help alone. I have to note that I am running a x201 and have an SSD. Switching from a hardrive to SSD did not change a thing. So I assume this "solution" works also with a harddrive. Before having this solution it helped to remove the battery to prevent the overheating from happening. ** Attachment added: "thinkfan.conf" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/751689/+attachment/3942865/+files/thinkfan.conf -- 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: [Lenovo Thinkpad x201s] 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
