(Get the code!)
I have the same experiences as commetdog in comment #30 and Gert van Dijk in comment #20
The only way I can actually get the CPU cool is by running the fan at full-speed (~6000RPM). The other fan speeds only slow the heat increase.
I've patched thinkfan to allow level 127 (full-speed), and (thus far) added the following to thinkfan.conf:
...
(7, 54, 85)
(127, 75, 32767)
This means that once we hit 85C, the fan goes to full speed, and does not come back down until we're at or below 75C. And, as a general rule, those are the only two rules that get exercised by my system (T61p).
