    With TPFancontrol fan speed 1 is about 1800/1900RPM, which is very good. Speed 2, the next step, however directly goes to 5000 RPM. That's just a little too much and not nessecary. So, is there any way I can make speed 2 about 3000RPM???

    Edit:
    I have found no BIOS setting that can alter the speed (latest BIOS version / thinkpad x300).

    Any there T61 owner out there that uses the program? Care to share your customized settings?

    The default settings are only effective at first, then the left side gets hot.
    1cpu keeps going up from 50C to 60ishC.

    Thanks in advance.

    for me only 0,1,3,6, and 64 in fact change speeds of the fan as follows: off, 2500, 3000, 3300, and 4600 rpm.

    the last setting is priceless :D overclocked GPU FTW :D
