Vacuum cleaner fixed the problem for me. My Thinkpad x201i was reaching 100C temperature regularly after only a few minutes of full load. I removed keyboard and cleaned the cpu cooler with a vacuum cleaner. Maybe it could be done by cleaning the cpu cooler venhole only from the outside.
Now I never reach temperatures over 85C even with closed lid in the docking station and after prolonged time on full load. Standard cpu temperature is ~ 60C. -- 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
