Re: ThinkPad fan

[Hans <hans.ullrich@loop.de>]

Hi, 

the rotation of the fan does not mean, it is cooling! I believe, there is a 
lot of dust in the exit for the warm air. So, I suggest, to open your notebook 
and make sure, that the air is good flooding.

The temperature for Intel cpus (as far as I know), should be about 40-60 
degrees, whilst those from AMD are at the same clock speed a little bit 
higher, so about 60-80 degrees Celsius.
 
These are no absolutely temeperatures, just a mark. 90-100 degrees is much too 
high.

Also check, what is controlling the fan: BIOS or some software.

Good luck, 

Hans
