Problem with fan noise

2006-12-18T08:20:03Z

Wstephenson: Add x60 to list of always-on fan models

Information about the fan noise problem in Thinkpad models from 2003/2004/2005.

==Problem description==

There seem to be two different issues causing annoyance from fan noise:

===Acceleration (pulsing) problem===
The Thinkpad fan briefly accelerates in regular intervals (every few seconds), causing an annoying periodic pulse noise.

See [http://lophiomys.gmxhome.de/Thinkpad_R50_Periodic_Fan_Noise.html here] for audio recordings of this noise on ThinkPad {{R50}} and {{R51}}.

===Always-on problem===
The fan is always on, even when the laptop is rather cool.

==Affected Models==

===Acceleration (pulsing) problem:===
*ThinkPad {{600E}}
*ThinkPad {{R40}}
*ThinkPad {{T40}}, {{T40p}}, {{T41}}, {{T42}}, {{T43}}

===Always-on problem:===
*ThinkPad {{600X}}
*ThinkPad {{770X}}
*ThinkPad {{A31p}}
*ThinkPad {{R32}}, {{R50}}, {{R50p}}, {{R51}}, {{R52}}
*ThinkPad {{T40}}, {{T40p}}, {{T41}}, {{T41p}}, {{T42}}, {{T42p}}, {{T43}}, {{T43p}}, {{T60}}
*ThinkPad {{X32}}, {{X40}}, {{X41}}, {{X60}}
*ThinkPad {{Z60m}}
*ThinkPad {{Z61m}}

==Affected Operating Systems==

===Acceleration (pulsing) problem:===
*All operating systems (this is a firmware bug). Note that some vendors might ship with fan-control workarounds enabled by default.

===Always-on problem:===
*Linux, all flavours
*FreeBSD 5.3
*OpenBSD 3.7 (Tested with X40)
*Windows XP
*Windows 2000 pro

==Status==

===Acceleration (pulsing) problem:===
The pulsing is triggered by the embedded controller when it monitors the fan speed and adjusts the fan control accordingly every few seconds.

For some models, IBM released an update to the embedded controller program that seems to at least partially solve this problem:

Version 3.03 - 1RHT70WW
NOTE: This version of Embedded Controller Program will only work with BIOS Version 3.06f (or higher).
* (Fix) Reduced Fan noise in some models.

The update can be found here: http://www-306.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-50279

Unfortunately, this update was not correctly ported to the Thinkpad {{T43}} and {{R52}} firmware: someone made a careless typo which generally results in no improvement in behaviour: the fan may continue to pulse every ~4.8s, and for some it may accelerate a great deal every 30 seconds or so, making a lot of noise. An unofficial patched firmware exists in source code format (see below).

For models which still have broken firmware (e.g., ThinkPad {{T43}} with official firmware), there is a software workaround (see below).

===Always-on problem:===
The problem is yet unsolved. But see the partial fix below.

IBM made a statement regarding this on their homepage:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-56504

==Solutions==

===Acceleration problem:===

====Replacing the fan====
Some people reported that they replaced the original fan against one of a similar notebook without the problem has worked for them, i.e. changing a {{T41}}s fan against one from a {{T41p}}.

====BIOS upgrade====
For relevant models, you can try upgrading your embedded controller program to version 3.03 or newer.
The update can be found here: http://www-306.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-50279

Also, in late November 2005 IBM released a BIOS and embedded controller update (BIOS 1.24, EC 1.04) for the T43/p
(Machine types 2668, 2669, 2678, 2679, 2686, 2687). Reported results are not consistent and range from cooler sensor readings (some sensors seem to report lower temperatures with this patch), less fan pulsing (also only reported by some users), and slightly different fan behaviour.
The link to this update is: http://www-306.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=ibm&lndocid=MIGR-58597#bios

====Fixing the firmware====
For T43/R52 firmwares 1YHT29WW and 70HT28WW, a fix is available and known to work, but it is not easy to deploy. You have to know enough to modify the firmware yourself. The fix is in the firmware source code (but disabled by default), see [[Embedded Controller Firmware]] for some information to get you started. If you are not at ease programming microcontrollers, please stick to the software workarounds, there's a reason this fix is not just an easy download away.

====Software workaround====
The problem can be solved through appropriate modulation of the embedded controller, using an [[ACPI fan control script#Variable speed control scripts|ACPI fan control script]].

===Always on problem:===

====Reducing power consumption====
Generally, this problem is triggered by heating due to high power consumption. See [[How to reduce power consumption]].

It seems like for some people a combination of enabling dynamic frequency scaling and using the most recent radeon drivers (from xorg 6.8.x) with the DynamicClocks option enabled helped lowing the fan rotation and hence making it more quiet.

Also the fglrx driver from ATI is said to show the same effect when used together with dynamic frequency scaling.

I can confirm that on my R51, the graphics card seems to be the problem. The fan keeps running most of the time even with AC on, but even though I activated DynamicClocks (with the radeon driver), I can see in /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal that the GPU (4th value) is at 52-53Â°. The fan stops running as soon as the temperature gets down to 50 degrees and starts again at 53. While debugging, I seemed(!) to be able to reduce the temperature together with the resolution (e.g. "xrandr -s 2" to get from 1400x1050 to 1024x768) or by switching off the graphics with "xset dpms force off". The bottom line is that the below "partial fix" won't work because the GPU temperature is the problem.

The GPU also seems to be the culprit on the t43p. Even with the fan always on (with speeds of around 4K reported in /proc/acpi/ibm/fan), the temperature never drops below 55. This is with the Xorg driver and DynamicClocks=on. With the ATI's fglrx driver, the GPU temp seems slightly higher (although I haven't performed a careful comparison). Without the fan, the temperature very quickly climbs to above 60.

With the Pentium M, CPU heat dissipation can be reduced through [[Pentium M undervolting and underclocking|undervolting and underclocking]].

In regard to the technical side of controlling the fan, see [[How to control fan speed]] for a description of the embedded controller byte at offset 0x2F which controls the fan activity (T4X series and other later models). In addition to these in the discussion to this topic [http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Talk:Problem_with_fan_noise] a user observed hidden temperature sensors. In the ACPI DSDT dump a {{T43}} reports 8 temp values at offset 0x78 (some of which may be off and yield a constant value of 0x80), but there are at least three more values at offset 0xC0 which from observation seem to show temperatures as well. One of these sensors (0xC1) is most likely in the area of the mini PCI slot (related to WLAN activity) and seem to trigger the fan at 43Â°C ({{T43}}, Windows XP). Another one (0xC2) seems to be located below the power supply (rear left, in the area under the Esc, F1-F3 keys). This one noticeably increases when the battery is charged. Both, the 0xC1 and 0xC2 react quite slowly to fan activity.

For more information about the thermal sensors that are monitored to decide the fan speed, see [[Thermal sensors]].

====Software solution - Windows====
{{WARN|This circumvents the BIOS fan control, so be careful and use at your own risk! Don't toast your ThinkPad.}}

The ThinkPad Fan Control Utility (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tp4xfancontrol/) actively monitors the CPU Temperature and uses ACPI to manually control the fan speed. It was written for the T43, but works on a number of other models as well. A port of this programme running as a Windows service is available from http://www.cceye.com/index.php?topic=73.0 (download: http://www.cceye.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=73.0;id=9 ). Extensive discussion of this utility is available at http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=17715

The version which runs as a Windows service is recommended because the system will restart it if the programme crashes. A crash of either programme could leave your computer without any active cooling, leading to overheating and potentially serious damage.

Note:
1 The Windows Event log will fill up with repeated errors regarding the Embedded Controller: please clean your event log regularly.
2 The programme may crash from time to time, but the service version should restart after a crash.

====Software solution - Linux====

See [[How to control fan speed]].

{{WARN|This circumvents the BIOS fan control, so be careful and use at your own risk! Don't toast your ThinkPad.}}

====Cleaning the fan or removing obstructions====

If your ThinkPad is old or has been exposed to dusty environment, it is possible that accumulated dirt on the fan and the heatsink cause abnormal behavior (though the problems have also been reported for brand new units). You can use a combination of a vacuum cleaner and an air dusting spray to clean things up from the outside. Bigger agglomerations of dust may require removing by tweezers through the openings in the fan grill. Getting to the fan itself from the inside is quite tricky and may require removing the keyboard or LCD - see [[Maintenance#Cleaning_the_Interior|Cleaning the Interior]].

If the fan is especially noisy, there may be some obstruction other than dirt in the way. For instance, in some ThinkPad models, a wire that is not properly taped down can become draped over the CPU fan, slowing down fan rotation and emitting a loud buzzing sound. Moving such an obstruction out of the way can greatly decrease fan noise.

After you clean things up, power on your ThinkPad. You should hear the fan start up for a bit when booting. If it does not, this means that the cleaning procedure has actually blocked the fan and your computer will overheat at some point (BIOS POST test does not appear to catch obstructed fans). Keep cleaning.

If cleaning does not fix the problem, the fan can be replaced as described in your laptop's appropriate Hardware Maintenace Manual: select your laptop at the [[Models#Available Models|Models Page]] and follow the links. All that is generally required is some screwdrivers and heat sink thermal grease. Do NOT attempt to install without the silicon grease.

If you feel comfortable using a soldering iron, you are more than qualified to do the procedure. Just remember do NOT force anything, at several steps there are tiny plastic "tabs" that can break off necessiting a more expensive bezel / keyboard / GPU replacement.

====Hardware modification====
An extensive forum discussion of this problem for the ThinkPad {{T43}}/{{T43p}}, and possible hardware mods for thermal enhancement, appear [http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=14580http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=14580 here]. There users who had opened the machine reported uncooled Northbridge and Southbrige chips, having no physical connectino to the heat pipe. Building a hardware copper bridge to these did change the temperature characteristics but did not cure the "always on" problem. In an other discussion on that forum a user said that amongh other areas the WLAN chip may be responsible for generating extra heat and that disabling WLAN (among other unused devices) may help.

How to reduce power consumption

2006-12-18T08:18:35Z

Wstephenson: Add 3945 details

Reducing system power consumption will extend battery life, reduce system temperature and (on some models) reduce system fan noise. This page summarizes the known techniques for reducing power consumption on ThinkPad laptops under Linux. The power numbers given (in Watt) are very rough and model-specific.

Installing openSUSE 10.2 on a ThinkPad X60

2006-12-18T08:13:02Z

Wstephenson: info on power management

= Lenovo ThinkPad {{X60}} (model 1707-CTO) =
== Hardware Details ==
* Intel Core Duo T2400 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2, 667MHz FSB)
* 2GB RAM (2 NonParity DDR2 SDRAM SoDIMM PC2-5300)
* Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
* 12.1 inch XGA (1024x768) (Lenovo LTN121XJ-L07)
* 80GB, 5400rpm Serial ATA (Hitachi HTS541080G9SA00)

* Intel PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet
* Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
* Bluetooth
* Firewire
* SD Card Reader
* 56K V.92 Modem

== Software Details ==
* [http://en.opensuse.org/Released_Version openSUSE 10.2] retail DVD9 iso

== Installation procedure ==
=== Setup ===
Since I didn't get a dock or usb CDROM with this machine, I started the installation procedure using a USB Stick. I followed these [http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_without_CD#Creating_a_bootable_USB_Stick_from_Linux instructions to set up a boot USB key]. This contains GRUB and the loader for the installer. The actual installation media was on an NFS share. To set this up, copy the contents of the CDS/DVD into a directory (or mount the DVD iso image loopback) then share the directory containing CD1 via NFS, is the simplest way. Sharing the DVD as a SMB share works from windows, too.

=== Installation ===
Press F12 during POST to get the boot selector menu up, choose the USB Key. This boots into GRUB. Press F4 here to set the installation source to NFS or SMB as needed, and enter the server details. For example, with SMB, enter the server name, the name of the share, and the directory where the first CD's contents are, eg 'CD1'. Now the installer is loaded from the share and proceeds as a usual SUSE install. No special steps are required during the install, but read the documentation about [[ Pre-Installation_steps | preserving or moving the ThinkVantage rescue partition ]] before you commit to the installation.

{{NOTE|After installing the software, the installer reboots into the installed system to configure it, as usual. Note that because it was booted from a USB key, GRUB has been installed onto the key instead of the hard disk. You can correct this after the configuration is completed, but for now, keep the USB key inserted, boot from that again. The GRUB menu boots the installed system from the hard disk, just like the old days with LILO and a boot floppy. Once the installation and you're logged in, start YaST2, go to System, Bootloader, and change the boot loader location to its proper location (I recommend the boot or root partition with the Generic MBR option). Now the laptop can boot on its own. }}

== What works out of the box ==
=== Hardware ===
* Ethernet adaptor
* Intel 3945ABG Wireless ethernet adapter
* GMA950 graphics with 3D acceleration with integral monitor
* Sound playback
* USB
* Bluetooth (with kbluetoothd, gets about 55kB/s with OBEXFTP)
* Trackpoint
* SD card reader

=== Power management etc ===
* Suspend to disk (Fn+F12)
* Suspend to RAM (Fn+F4)
* Disable display (Fn+F3)
* CPU speed stepping (required BIOS update to 2.05 though)
* LCD Brightness depending on current power scheme, via KPowersave and HAL

=== Extra keys ===
* Volume control, keyboard light and screen brightness control
* Lid switch (LCD off when lid closed, resume from suspend to RAM when opened)
* Multimedia keys with KMix and Amarok
* Browser back/forward keys with Konqueror

== What had to be configured by hand ==
* Mouse wheel emulation, set "Emulate Mouse wheel with button 2" in SaX2 mouse settings
* Keyboard dead keys for international characters, set "Right Alt is Compose" in SaX2 keyboard settings, then ralt-shift-2, a => Ã¤
* Sound recording, using KMix or other mixer, set the mic as capture source, turn it up, enable and turn up 'Capture' channel.
* By default the fan runs all the time. If power management on the ipw3945 is enabled, it only runs about 1/3 of the time. Use 'iwpriv eth1 set_power 7' to enable power management - this comes at the cost of increasing latency when using wireless. See [http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/README.ipw3945 the ipw3495 README] for details

== What doesn't work yet ==
* Xinerama with external LCD
* Dual head with external LCD

== What I haven't tested yet ==
* Firewire
* PCMCIA slot
* Embedded Security Subsystem (TCPA)
* Active Protection System (HDAPS)
* Modem
* Maximum battery life

Installing openSUSE 10.2 on a ThinkPad X60

2006-12-02T16:25:01Z

Wstephenson: software

= Lenovo ThinkPad {{X60}} (model 1707-CTO) =
== Hardware Details ==
* Intel Core Duo T2400 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2, 667MHz FSB)
* 2GB RAM (2 NonParity DDR2 SDRAM SoDIMM PC2-5300)
* Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
* 12.1 inch XGA (1024x768) (Lenovo LTN121XJ-L07)
* 80GB, 5400rpm Serial ATA (Hitachi HTS541080G9SA00)

* Intel PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet
* Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
* Bluetooth
* Firewire
* SD Card Reader
* 56K V.92 Modem

== Software Details ==
* openSUSE 10.2 retail DVD9 iso

== Installation procedure ==
=== Setup ===
Since I didn't get a dock or usb CDROM with this machine, I started the installation procedure using a USB Stick. I followed these [http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_without_CD#Creating_a_bootable_USB_Stick_from_Linux instructions to set up a boot USB key]. This contains GRUB and the loader for the installer. The actual installation media was on an NFS share. To set this up, copy the contents of the CDS/DVD into a directory (or mount the DVD iso image loopback) then share the directory containing CD1 via NFS, is the simplest way. Sharing the DVD as a SMB share works from windows, too.

=== Installation ===
Press F12 during POST to get the boot selector menu up, choose the USB Key. This boots into GRUB. Press F4 here to set the installation source to NFS or SMB as needed, and enter the server details. For example, with SMB, enter the server name, the name of the share, and the directory where the first CD's contents are, eg 'CD1'. Now the installer is loaded from the share and proceeds as a usual SUSE install. No special steps are required during the install, but read the documentation about [[ Pre-Installation_steps | preserving or moving the ThinkVantage rescue partition ]] before you commit to the installation.

{{NOTE|After installing the software, the installer reboots into the installed system to configure it, as usual. Note that because it was booted from a USB key, GRUB has been installed onto the key instead of the hard disk. You can correct this after the configuration is completed, but for now, keep the USB key inserted, boot from that again. The GRUB menu boots the installed system from the hard disk, just like the old days with LILO and a boot floppy. Once the installation and you're logged in, start YaST2, go to System, Bootloader, and change the boot loader location to its proper location (I recommend the boot or root partition with the Generic MBR option). Now the laptop can boot on its own. }}

== What works out of the box ==
=== Hardware ===
* Ethernet adaptor
* Intel 3945ABG Wireless ethernet adapter
* GMA950 graphics with 3D acceleration with integral monitor
* Sound playback
* USB
* Bluetooth (with kbluetoothd, gets about 55kB/s with OBEXFTP)
* Trackpoint

=== Power management etc ===
* Suspend to disk (Fn+F12)
* Suspend to RAM (Fn+F4)
* Disable display (Fn+F3)
* CPU speed stepping
* LCD Brightness depending on current power scheme, via KPowersave and HAL

=== Extra keys ===
* Volume control, keyboard light and screen brightness control
* Lid switch (LCD off when lid closed, resume from suspend to RAM when opened)
* Multimedia keys with KMix and Amarok
* Browser back/forward keys with Konqueror

== What had to be configured by hand ==
* Mouse wheel emulation, set "Emulate Mouse wheel with button 2" in SaX2 mouse settings
* Keyboard dead keys for international characters, set "Right Alt is Compose" in SaX2 keyboard settings, then ralt-shift-2, a => Ã¤
* Sound recording, using KMix or other mixer, set the mic as capture source, turn it up, enable and turn up 'Capture' channel.

== What doesn't work yet ==
* Xinerama with external LCD
* DualHead with external LCD
* SD card reader

== What I haven't tested yet ==
* Firewire
* PCMCIA slot
* Embedded Security Subsystem (TCPA)
* Active Protection System (HDAPS)
* Modem
* Maximum battery life
