    Hi guys,

    I've recently acquired an x61s, and been really happy with it, but it seems to kick in the fan a little earlier than i want it to. I've done research and there seem to be a few apps, but none of them work. The closest I got was the Thinkpad Fan Controller, but it doesnt work on all models.

    Anyone know which program works?

    Thnx,
    Dorian

    Problem solved! Just needed to read the readme on TPFC. Works like a charm and my x61s is as silent as a mouse when idle now, and has the same temps!
