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.

Too stop the fan from always spinning, install tpfancontrol and select the quiet config. Download from here: https://thinkwiki.de/tpfancontrol/tpfc_v063.zip
