Title:
  Laptop to hot - VID to high

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My laptop goes to very hign temperature. First I think it was a fan
  problem. I adjusted thinkfan to use the disengaded option. Now my fan
  ist at maximim speed if the temperature goes over 67°C. But still it
  is not possible to run the laptop for a longer time an 100% CPU. It
  then overheats and stops working. For example just after clamscan
  starts working the fan is at maximum speed (5600 revolutions) and the
  tempurature goes up over 85°C, the CPU usage is the about 70%.

  My standard governer is "ondemand". By using "powersave" the temparure
  will be about 5-10°C decrease.

  My investigation show me that in my oppinum the VID is to high. To varify this i do the following:
  -  rdmsr -p0 [1] 0x0199 for every speed steps
  -  the governer "ondemand" switches the MSR 0x199 between
     - 0x0613, which means 1GHz and 1.275V? 
     - 0x081c, which means 1,33GHz and 1.3875V?
     - 0x0b28, which means 1,83GHz and 1.5375V?
  > by 100% CPU the laptop overheats and stops

  - set the governer to userspace 1.833GHz
  - reduce the VID using: wrmsr -p0 [1] 0x0199 0x0b20
  > the temparature goes not over 65°C by starting load that goes to 100% CPU!.

  I see that the VID is allways set to 0x0b28 when the governer change
  the speed to the highest speed. I don't know if the governer or an
  other kernel module set the VID The Sped (FID) is selected by the
  governer.

  The FID/VID vor maximum should be set to 0x0b20 instead 0x0B28 and
  every thing would fine.

  Here are some infos about my system:

  It is a lenovo Thinkpad R60
