Comment 25 for bug 1602888

Occams Beard, have you tested the fan issue with kernel 4.8? Here, you only mention kernel 4.7, but 4.8 was supposed to fix Skylake power management issues. I have noticed people having fan issues on other laptop models with Skylake, mostly i7 6700hq, (Asus, Lenovo), as well in Linux, so this points to the fans problem being a broader issue. On the other hand I see people here and the other kernel thread reporting that 4.8 alone has not fixed the problem for them (I have seen 2 so far). It would be nice to have more data in order to be able to clearly distinguish whether the 7759 fan issue is a Skylake problem alone, or if there is something else in play. I haven't found any reports from those other folks outside the 7759 linux community who previously had fan issues too, to see whether the 4.8 has had any improvement for them yet. 4.8 has only been out for about a month, so I guess there is not enough data ...
