My X201 is starting to exhibit CPU temps that are (I think) a bit on the high side.

In the past I remember temps being in the low 50's when idle and getting up to high 60's to low 70's

As of late the temps never get much below 70C.

I have tried getting software to read the fan speeds and for whatever reason every program I install cant find the fans.

I am assuming the X201 does have active cooling.

My warranty goes bye bye in the next 2 months so I want to get this resolved sooner rather than later.

Any help\suggestions would be great,,,,

If it's under warranty, call support. That's why they're there. You could try cleaning out the fan, but you're better off sending it in if it's still under warranty. Which software are you using?

Realtemp ver 3.70 and some other programs I forget the name of.

While every program I try always shows the temps it never finds ANY info about the fans.....

I will contact customer service and see what they say,,,,,

Well the tech came out and just did a replacement on the heatsink fan and everything is back to normal.........
