Very loud fan on X2100

#1 Post by datarama » Tue Jul 18, 2023 5:20 am

Hi Thinkpadders,

I have an X2100 from Xue Yao, and it's a great little machine for programming and various other so-called "productive" tasks on Linux. I have the latest BIOS/EC posted on his page (January 2022).

Unfortunately, its fan is *very* loud and ramps up very aggressively - sometimes, it gets very loud even though the air coming out of the vent isn't very hot. Has anybody managed to get X2100 noise to a reasonably quiet level?

I think the best you can do is to check out the BIOS reverse engineering thread and adjust the fan intensity steps to your taste via binary patching.
51nb X210 with community EC mod, me_cleaner and recelled 99W*h battery; X230 with coreboot, me_cleaner and nitrocaster's FHD mod as a backup; R500 for guests; T60 just for the looks.
