[Bug 1325298] Re: [Lenovo ThinkPad R61i (7650)] Fan not speeding up on high temperatures

 

Andre, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (3.15-rc7) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.15-rc7

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Mark / opera, thank you for your comment. So your hardware and problem may be tracked, could you please file a new report with Ubuntu by executing the following in a terminal while booted into a Ubuntu repository kernel (not a mainline one) via:

Title:
  [Lenovo ThinkPad R61i (7650)] Fan not speeding up on high temperatures

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm using a Lenovo R61i (type 7650D6G), with Ubuntu 14.04 and up-to-date BIOS. The fan speed is well controlled on low temperatures, i.e. around/below 50°C, staying between 0 and 3000RPM. The problem is that under a higher load my cores can reach higher temperatures, like 75-80°C, without the fan being speeded up over 3000RPM. Since lmsensors shows 85°C as critic temperature for my cores (Intel Core Duo T5450), I find this quite dangerous.
  I have experienced this copying files between two hard disks, being both cores running at 50% for two hours.
