Re: T70 Linux fan control?
Thanks, i'm not sure it'll help. I talked to one of the guys who built the motherboard directly and they said it's controlled by an EC, so software doesn't even touch it.

Re: Finding a 51nb T70 motherboard.
It's gonna be rough. I waited about a year before I coudl get mine. Keep in mind, you'll have to do some serious modding and take apart the entire computer. I got mine prebuilt for around 1400 with 32gb ram, 512 gb nvme storage. Best of luck

Re: T70 Linux fan control?
You own a T70 as well? For reference, i'm using kernel 4.18.5. The x62 also seemed to have this problem.

Those who own the 15" T4xp laptops, how useful are they in 2017?
I was thinking about buying one, but they're pretty expensive on ebay (upwards 200+). Is the uxga and form factor in your opinion worth the money? What are the pros and cons? Do the old school ports work under linux (parallel port etc). I own a 14" t42 for context, and I fitted a uxga screen onto a ...

X230T, hackintosh, and coreboot
