Hello Everybody,
I hope this is the right place for bugs - if it is one... I'm more a
Linux user than hacker.
I just upgraded my T60 from some old Ubuntu from ~2016 to the newest
release and found out that the fan is really quiet --- and the thing is
overheating under load (crashing).
When I read the rpm in auto mode the fan is around 3500 rpm even for
high thermal sensor values.
When I control it manually to 7 it hardly reaches 4000rpm.
In disengaged it slowly increases until the watchdog restores the value.
I remember that before the update the fan was more noisy and somewhere I
found that it should reach higher rpms.
Is this a bug in this kernel module, or do I need to search somewhere else?
Some terminal outputs:
leo@leo-ThinkPad-T60:/proc/acpi/ibm$ cat fan thermal
status: enabled
speed: 3511
level: auto
commands: level <level> (<level> is 0-7, auto, disengaged, full-speed)
commands: enable, disable
commands: watchdog <timeout> (<timeout> is 0 (off), 1-120 (seconds))
temperatures: 72 48 44 -128 50 -128 35 -128 55 55 62 -128 -128 -128 -128
-128
leo@leo-ThinkPad-T60:/proc/acpi/ibm$ echo level 7 > fan
leo@leo-ThinkPad-T60:/proc/acpi/ibm$ cat fan thermal
status: enabled
speed: 3936
level: 7
commands: level <level> (<level> is 0-7, auto, disengaged, full-speed)
commands: enable, disable
commands: watchdog <timeout> (<timeout> is 0 (off), 1-120 (seconds))
temperatures: 67 48 43 -128 50 -128 35 -128 55 55 61 -128 -128 -128 -128
-128
Would be great if someone could check that.. Under these circumstances
my T60 is going to be toasted soon :(
Thanks & Best Regards
leo
