tpfancontrol utility - Tested on T60??

[akela_topchi]

Has anybody tested "tpfancontrol" utility (https://sourceforge.net/project/showfil ... _id=153962)
on T60?

Need to know it works for T60 so that I can use this on my T60 1953E4U.

Thanks for your help!

Hi, Badger, Thanks for the information.

Any recommedations on various params that this utility requires as input?

i haven't used it in a while but these were my last settings:

Level=47 0
Level=65 1
Level=69 4
Level=73 7
Level=80 128

[31336]

Generally, it works. It sometimes crashes though, for unknown reason, which is dangerous because it does not give fan control back to BIOS then. I suspected the disk protection and disabled it, but it did not solve the problem -- it's still crashing, albeit less frequently. And it beeps frightfully every two hours or so because it quote unquote "COULD NOT SET FAN STATE!!!!" -- there's no way to disable this sound as far as I know. Anyway, here's my config (T2500; X1300):

Code: Select all

Active=2
Cycle=10
FanBeep=0 0
IconLevels=50 55 60
IgnoreSensors=GPU
MaxReadErrors=254
MinimizeToSysTray=1
MinimizeOnClose=0
StartMinimized=1

Level=47 0
Level=50 3
Level=55 4
Level=60 7
Level=70 128

With these settings, the fan mostly alternates between the first two levels. Without TP Fan Control running, the fan is hardly ever off.
