I urge everyone experiencing this bug to get their hardware checked (hopefully under warranty). For me (X201 tablet), having the fan replaced (and I think thermal paste applied correctly) brought temperatures down from ≈60°C‒65°C idle and 80°C‒100°C (+shutdown) under full load, to <60°C under full load.
This is not to deny the existence of the software bug: the combination of overheating-prone hardware with the slow fan software bug is producing the obvious effects for at least some of those affected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/751689 Title: ThinkPads overheat due to slow fans when on 'auto' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/751689/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
