    Hey guys, I've had the T530 for a while now and it has always been silent. The fan occasionally came on for a few seconds sometimes but it would generally be silent. However, today, for the past couple of hours, the fan has been constantly running. It is audible. The temperate of the CPU is around 56C. I'm not sure but that doesn't seem very high, does it?

    Since the T530 has always been silent, this is something new to me. Anyone have any experiences with this situation?

    Thanks.

    Update:

    I put the computer to sleep for a couple of seconds and then restarted it. It is now silent again and the temperatures have dropped to around 48C or so.
