T60 fan still on after tpfancontrol...heatsink problem?
Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 5:53 pm
Ok, so I recently bought a used T60 (2007-GEU). The fan was running ALL the time, so I installed tpfancontrol and I have it coming on at startup.
My CPU/GPU (dedicated ATI) temps heat up to 65*C pretty quickly, even if the computer is just sitting or I'm doing light web browsing only. I have it set for the fans to turn on at 65* but I've found that it ends up happening almost as much as before w/out tpfancontrol.
It seems like the temps just keep getting hotter and hotter. Gets to 65*, then 66*, fan comes on, lowers to 62* or 63*, then cycle repeats. I can close the lid with the computer on, walk away, and the fan will be on in a matter of minutes.
Whats my next place to troubleshoot? Will I have to open it up and go right to the heatsink???
TIA.
