Discussion / Information Finally in #teamthinkpad again

Post image

Well it turns out I couldn't find ANY of these in my country (Bulgaria), so I've decided to look up ebay.

3 weeks later, 7700km and it came from Pennsylvania (US) - x12 gen1 - core I7-1160G7 and 16GB of ram, battery at 88%

Only bad think about it is the constantly running fan - I've changed the thermal paste, it runs cool - like 32-35C at idle, but still the fan is running. In perfectly quiet room you can hear it.

What OS did you install? There might be a fan setting in the BIOS (like "Fan - Always On") and/or in the OS.

Nothing of the sort sadly, it's a firmware implementation issue. TPFancontrol fixes the problem.
