#1 Post by Lister » Sun Dec 23, 2018 3:04 am

Hello,
does anyone have such a fan control chip for Thinkpads lying and wants to sell it? Any module information here https://thinkwiki.de/TPFC_Modul.

Thanks for your offers.

Regards!

EDIT: Thanks to RBS for bug report, link corrected.

That's strange, the page was perfectly fine this morning. Reload this link:

https://thinkwiki.de/TPFC_Modul

If the page did not open, I attach the original text.
TPFC Hardware Modul zur Lüftersteuerung in Thinkpads

Das TPFC Modul ist eine kleine Platine die von 2009 bis Anfang 2013 über die Website www.tpfc.mywo.org aus den USA vertrieben wurde. Ein Stück kostete $39.99. Mittlerweile ist das Modul ausverkauft und der Webauftritt offline. Entwickelt wurde das Modul für Thinkpads der Generation T61.

Das Modul wird zwischen Lüfter und dem Embedded Controller auf dem Mainboard eingebaut. Die Funktion des Moduls besteht darin, die Drehzahl der Lüfterstufe 1 zu halbieren und dennoch dem Embedded Controller die original vorgesehene Drehzahl zu melden. Alle anderen Lüfterstufen werden nicht beeinflusst.

Bei einem X61 liegt die Lüfterstufe 1 bei ca. 3000 RPM. Durch die Reduzierung der Drehzahl auf 1500 RPM wird diese Lüfterstufe erheblich leiser, bei manchen Lüftern fast unhörbar. Zusammen mit dem Programm TPFanControl kann diese wunderbar leise Lüfterstufe optimal genutzt werden.
Translated into English:
TPFC Hardware Fan Control Module in Thinkpads

The TPFC module is a small board that was distributed from 2009 to the beginning of 2013 via the website www.tpfc.mywo.org from the USA. One piece cost $ 39.99. Meanwhile, the module is sold out and the website offline. The module was developed for Thinkpads generation T61.

The module is installed between the fan and the embedded controller on the motherboard. The function of the module is to halve the speed of fan level 1 and still report the originally intended speed to the embedded controller. All other fan levels are not affected.

For an X61, fan level 1 is around 3000 RPM. By reducing the speed to 1500 RPM, this fan level is considerably quieter, with some fans almost inaudible. Together with the program TPFanControl this wonderfully quiet fan level can be optimally used.

And picture the website:

The difference is (as always) in the language detail!
https://thinkwiki.de/TPFC_Module (English spelling) = no go
https://thinkwiki.de/TPFC_Modul (German spelling) = go
