TP-Fancontrol X61

#1 Post by kennyschiff » Sun Jun 07, 2009 6:22 pm

I've been slowly migrating to Ubuntu 9.04 and was looking for a fan control utility, much as I had under XP. I did installed tp-fand .95, along with the GUI. The software didn't recognize an appropriate profile for my machine 7675CTO, so it is using the generic one.

Given the various warnings, I'm reluctant to muck much with this without guidance.

Even with the program running, the fan is very whiney.

Would appreciate any guidance on this.

I actually think the X61 is very cool. Normally, I set everything to 40 c. But running on battery an dI want it to be really quiet, I set everything to 60 c.

I have a 7675-cto. I disliked this fan and its problems so much I considered selling it.

Luckily I got a script written that really makes me enjoy this machine. No loud spinning, no fan pulsating.
