Hi guys,
Just purchased a SH mint condition Thinkpad T430. I am running Windows 7 SP1 x64, and I have a issue with TPFanControl. It only shows the CPU sensor and nothing else like in my wife's T500. Plus I have these issue with the utility.

Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Apparently it fixed itself. Topic closed.

Re: Thinkpad T430 - TP Fan Control - Issues
Just registered, trying to tame the fan of my new-to-me T430.
I too get just the cpu sensor. My .ini settings:
UseTWR=0 // (got invalid values while attempting to use 1)
IgnoreSensors=no5
SensorName1=cpu
SensorName2=aps
SensorName3=pcm
SensorName4=gpu
SensorName5=no5
SensorName6=x7d
SensorName7=bat
SensorName8=x7f
SensorName9=bus
SensorName10=pci
SensorName11=pwr
SensorName12=xc3
ShowBiasedTemps=1
ShowAll=0
Level=48 0
Level=56 1
Level=62 2
Level=75 7
Lev64Norm=1
Any clues how to fix it?
