How to control the Fan speed on your Thinkpad

Thursday 20th March, 2008
I recently kept experiencing my Thinkpad T60p getting very hot and occasionally locking up when playing certain games.  I found a program that would allow me to control of the fan speed so I can increase the RPMs.

Please read the readme.txt file first as the developer explains some of the settings in the INI file.

    How to control the Fan speed on your Thinkpad

    Well, if the laptop is more than a year old, I would suggest cleaning the fan of all the dust. That is the real culprit of laptops getting hot.

    I suggest "Notebook Hardware Control" program - you can lower the CPU voltage, control fan and many more.

    I use it on my T41 and it's very useful. With lowering CPU voltage my laptop runs cooler and fan starts very rarely..
