On one of the laptops I got one bit flip with 4x memtester 1536M, but during a nigh-tlong test no further problems.
P.S. it seems that http://thinkpad-forum.de is dead?
Works great, thanks very much, even though r8168 also worked all right for me.mdancer wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2017 6:35 pmFor people hunting PC7 in linux. There is an alternative driver for realtek ethernet card which is way less buggy then one from realtek https://github.com/KastB/r8169.

I was wondering whether you then tried the T420 speaker, or you found out which speaker fits the casing and connectordmdsoftware wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2017 7:54 am
- The speaker in both my X machines is a single speaker with a 2 pin connector. The X62 motherboard only accepts a 4 pin connector. Checking online, this appears to accept a two speaker configuration like the T420. I have access to a T420, so I will be trying the speaker.
I plugged R50p speakers into T410 and they worked. It's a fairly standard port, X201 speakers or perhaps something out of a good smartphone may fit better.harryK wrote: ↑Fri Jul 21, 2017 12:26 pmI was wondering whether you then tried the T420 speaker, or you found out which speaker fits the casing and connectordmdsoftware wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2017 7:54 am

Cool! Is that a drop in or are there modifications to be made?dmdsoftware wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2017 8:28 pmHere is also a pro tp.
Since you wont' be needing the X60/1 media slice dock anymore, you can open it up and use the stereo speakers in it (4 pin, 2 speakers).
Drop in but you might want to attach some adhesive on the speakers to hold them down. The two speakers are together in a black piece of plastic. I stuck it in the space between the motherboard and audio board.harryK wrote: ↑Wed Aug 30, 2017 5:15 pmCool!

This may reduce palmrest heat, but the processor runs hotter than otherwise possible. Thus, you earn more noise. I recommend to put the SSD into the 2.5" bay (if you have an mSATA SSD use an adapter) as the mSATA slot is pretty much on the back side of the CPU. This way, the SSD and the CPU stay cooler. Then make shure your CPU reaches "Package C7" state and undervolt it and noise is mostly gone. As well is most of the heat. And this is even though I have put my board into an X60s case, so I have a smaller fan than most people (I modified the non-s fan assembly for it though, so I have the bigger heat pipes). My CPU idles around 40°C (core/package) and 43°C (thermal zone sensors).

Oh. Didn't think the small heatpipe was that bad. I believe, the tablet guys on the German forum got better results. Is the fan seated correctly? Is the thermal paste applied correctly?harryK wrote: ↑Thu Aug 31, 2017 5:13 pm
I also put mine in an -s case and I am getting the exact same numbers in Linux, only with the small heat pipes and without undervolting, which is not possible in Linux.
However, the temperatures spike under load and the processor is throttled, which didn't happen with the big non-s fan. I am tempted to put the old thermal compound back. Guess your solution (modified non-s heatsink) is the proverbial sweet spot.
There was a "utility" posted on 51nb some time ago to monitor temperatures and set the fan speed in Windows. Works with BIOS 0704, possibly with others. https://forum.51nb.com/forum.php?mod=at ...

The ec is really meant for the 3rd batch and later, but I've found it works perfectly for the 2nd batch aside from one issue: at lower temps (35-37 deg C) instead of turning off the fan goes full blast. All I have to do is stress the CPU a little to bring temps up to 40 degrees or more and it works perfectly again.
It seems like the issue is with the "0 fan speed" setting, below a certain temperature threshold, is not a valid value. So the fan decides to go all out. Is the only way to work around this to modify the EC? I really like the fan settings except for this one thing.
Good, let us know how it goes plz
I found drm_kms_helper method, so it should work under linux console, wayland, Xorg if your driver utilizes KMS:mdancer wrote: ↑Mon Dec 05, 2016 5:49 pmJust want to mention that you can change edid without reflashing it usingBibin wrote:I made a writeup for bringing the X62 to 60Hz: http://mikejmoffitt.com/articles/0048-x62-sxga60.htmlto ' Section "Device" ' in your xorg.conf fileCode: Select all

I used the utility linked above and it does work to control the fan; you just need to run it from a command line as admin after editing ThermalTable.txt. The settings I am currently using are what I got from the 51nb forums:harryK wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2017 12:27 pmThere was a "utility" posted on 51nb some time ago to monitor temperatures and set the fan speed in Windows.

I have not been able to try it because I don't run windows, but could you clarify if those values are permanent and what those values mean? I might get to run windows just to do some fan speed tweaking...fatpolomanjr wrote: ↑Sat Nov 18, 2017 4:40 pm

I haven't done too much tweaking to those settings as of yet. I usually stick with the default 1012 BIOS / 0718 EC fan settings.
