Comment 19 for bug 213818

same problem here, got a thinkpad r60

It seems to me that there is something wrong with the fan control. My fan speed is alway relative low (between 2600 and 3200 rpm), which is to low at 86 degree cpu temp I think. I tried the tp-fancontrol skript from http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ACPI_fan_control_script#Variable_speed_control_scripts. The cpu temp no don't get above 69 degrees anymore.

This maybe a workaround but again there must be something wrong with the automatic fan control.
