Hi,
Thank you all for your reply's. I didn't have time to test the upstream kernel, but I did try what Ben suggested: update the bios. I don't know how I haven't noticed this before when searching for a solution to the fan-issue. I updated the bios to the 1.43 version and as a positive surprise it seems to be working.
I have stopped (and removed) Thinkfan, restarted couple of times, used laptop with and without AC-adapter and the fan has remained quite silent. According to powertop the speed is much more sensible around ~1900 RPM. I'm eager to see, how much this will affect the power consumption in the long run.
Should I move this to invalid, since the issue was practically on the hardware-side?
