Quick question...

On the left hand side of my T41, it seems as though the fan is blowing warm air.

Is this common?

thanks

Leslie

that's what fans are for!

Fans on computers blow outwards (some inwards - depends on the flow that was intended in the chasis) - so what they do is blow the hot air from the components out of the chasis to keep it cool.

There is a bug in newer Thinkpad models which causes the FAN to always run, even when the CPU is at cool 35°C!

Other (better Centrino solutions) Notebooks start cooling the system when the CPU is at 50°C. Since it is a Centrino, the CPU is around 40°C most of the time when doing office work. You see? 40°C is more than 35°C => FAN runs all the time.

Thermal maximum für Centrino CPUs is 99°C btw, IBM just does not care about noise/users here.

yup i think it is normal too, my T412 also does that, but i reckon the fan noise is vey acceptable, had a compaq 2425Ai and man that is called a blower not a fan lol
