T60p - CPU Fan Details Needed

A loud humming noise suddenly sounded from my T60p Lenovo Laptop.
I dissassembled it and found that the CPU fan attached to the heat sink has expired.
This looks like a stock fan that can be purchased for less than $10. What type of fan is this?
In reference to the PDF manual on the T60p, the FRU number that matches the correct drawing is 41W0467. On your site it shows a different FRU number.
I am a relatively experienced technician but cannot identify the fan size.
Anyone?

Welcome to the forum!
You're unlikely to obtain the information that you're looking for. If you look hard enough, though, you may be able to find the original fan for $25 or so...a wise investment on a $1,000 laptop...
My $0.02 only...
Cheers,

I need help starting a Terminal command at start-up to help silence CPU fan

I have a 24" iMac (Early 2009) and the CPU fan runs at full RPMs - NOTE: it is a refurbished model. I think that the person who did the refurbishing either messed up the CPU Temp Sensor or something, because the CPU temps are fine and the fan kicks on right after start-up chime.
Anyways, I have found a terminal command (see below) that, when used in conjunction with smcFanControl, will force my CPU fan to run at 1200 RPM. I need a way to either auto-launch this Terminal Command at start-up, or an easier way to launch it because having to type it out in Terminal every boot and reset is getting old.
Terminal Command:
/Applications/smcFanControl.app/Contents/Resources/smc -k F2Mx -w 3cf0
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You shell script should look something like this:
#!/bin/bash
your command line
Construct this in your favorite text editor and save as plain text, not .rtf. Call the file anything you want, but here I'll call it slowfan.
In terminal type,
chmod +x /path/to/slowfan
where /path/to/slowfan is the path to the slowfan file. You could drag the file into the terminal after typing the chmod +x followed by a space. This step is only to mark the text file (script) as executable.
Now you can run Platypus and set up a simple app with admin privleges. Then test the app. If it works you can then add it to your login items.
If you decide to use applescript (do shell script descibed earlier) then you could just use the full pathname to whereever you saved the script and save that as a applescript application. Again test it and then add to your login items. I would bother adding an alias to .bash_profile. That just adds to the complextity.
As you can see, with Platypus you only have the single app it creates to deal with. The script is enclosed in the generated app bundle for easy updating if necessary later on. With the applescript method you will need to keep track of two spearate files; the applescript and the shell script. Actually three, the app too.

Need help choosing a good CPU Fan.

I'm running an AMD Athlon XP 3200+ on my motherboard. I would appreciate any suggestions on a good quality CPU fan. Can't establish a good overclock without good stability, which comes from how well you keep your system cool. Nevermind what I just said, I'm talking out of my *censored*. Anyway, I could really use some recomendations.

Hehe,
i use a vantec tornado....
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=11-999-612&depa=0
i will give you plenty of warning, she is loud....however she blows some air!!!84.1cfm's to be exact but yes there is a comprise when using this thing...
if your heatsink will accept a 90mm fan, then i would suggest giving it a try if your going for a record oc or something to the effect b/c the 90mm moves some 10cfm's more i believe....
unless your going to watercool, get one of these... mated with the proper heatsink youll be just fine... my tornado keeps the thing at 33C with a full load... you wont be disappointed with the cooling, !!!!!

Need new CPU fan

Howdy - The CPU fan is making one heck of a noise. Can you recommend an aftermarket fan?
Stats are below.
Thanks
Joe

Just check,whatever you get, that at least its got a 4 pin PWM controlled fan. And as was mentioned, if you are not overclocking, a lower end HSF should be fine. The cooler Henry mentioned would be a very good choice.
Here is a host of coolers to choose from. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&N=-1&isNodeId=1&Description=amd+cpu+cooler

Compaq C700 - CPU fan not running after waking up from Sleep mode

Hi guys,
Waking up from Sleep mode does not start the CPU fan.
Kernel: 2.6.32-ARCH
KDE : 4.4
Let me know what other details you need.

I was having the same problem after installing mountain lion.
What i did was in Finder went to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and deleted all the networking plists (refer screen shot). Then restarted the Mac and in Network Preferences reconnected to my WLAN.
That solved the problem.

New T520 cpu fan vibration ?

Hello all,
I just purchased a new T520 and seem to be experiencing some subtle vibration on the bottom side of the keyboard which may point to the cpu fan. It seems to run all the time ...
Is this normal, as i thought it was the HDD but it's not.
Any advice would be great as it's really annoying when just laying with palm near keypad.
Much appreciated
John

hey jrmtl,
that should not occur, I would recommend going to http://support.lenovo.com and update the Bios for your unit.
if updating bios does not help, then i recommend calling our support team for further assistance :

AMD X2 4200+ and CPU Fan

Its been a while since I've been on this forum, but I need advice on this one... I am planning on buliding a new system with a Athlon X2 4200+ (still waiting to see if AMD will sell X2 4000+ or 3800+ ). I think I'll go for an MSI K8N Neo 4 platinum board and I was wondering if the zalman CNPS7000B Al-Cu Led fit well on this particular mobo. I was also wondering if the cooling, provided by the Zalman CPU fan, would be enough for an X2 CPU?
Thanks for your help,
V
P.S. Are there any problems with the nVidia integrated firewall?

For those who wish to build a AMD X2 system, gigabyte has two fans that weight 430g (respects AMD max weight specs) and that is supposed to be very efficient... Lot of positive reviews over the web... And it is silent too

for now, only newegg as some in stock, but I suppose better availability soon!

Dc5850 cpu fan speeds to top speed sys then shutdown

I have a Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq dc5850 Micro tower PC, now running windows 7 pro 64-bit. That was new in late 2008. Originally it came with vista 32-bit downgrade able to XP pro 32 bit, running on 2G RAM, and 160G C drive with a 2.30 gigahertz AMD Phenom 8600B Triple-Core processor. It also has ATI 3100 integrated graphics as well as integrated NIC at 1G and integrated High def audio. In the first few months I had the system, I upgraded memory by 4G and total Disc space by 500G by adding a D drive; then upgraded to windows 7 pro 64-bit.
Overall, I have had a good experience with the PC but it has had problems while in its 3-year warranty. I did need to replace the C drive and later it original RAM devices. Yes HP did these replacements and swaps, under warranty; that meant I had 6G memory for a long time before the HP 2Gig failed out of warranty, leaving me with 4Gig now. Yes I have always had the Unit on an UPS; I even replaced the old UPS with a more powerful unit in late 2009 or early 2010 when the old UPS showed signs of failure. Now instead of serial based UPS connection it is USB.
Over the last few months I have been getting blue-screen errors of all sorts. Ranging from video related errors, Memory faults, Disc read/write failures and processor flag errors too. After numerous repair disc runs or re-install of windows, the disc read write errors wore corrected by the HP drive sanitation utility disc repair/wipe after failing the extended test. The non video ram was tested by a bootable CD of memtest86 v4 running extended test as well as MS memory Diagnostic. Both run multiple times, both passed multiple times. I was able to find a CD based video diagnostic for ATI and the Video passed repeated stress test as well. Over Labor Day I conducted these test and re-installed windows 64-bit; on the following Monday windows informed me I needed to activate windows, so I verified the correct key and called to do so, successfully.
With that background given here is the question. Recently over the last two or three months, for no apparent reason, mainly on boot the fan races to top speed and the system shuts down to protect itself. I researched this a little and found one cause to be inadequate airflow over the CPU to keep it cool; the recommendation made sense to vacuum with a computer vacuum and be sure airflow is not somehow obstructed. I am now thinking all these problems are related to the CPU temp sensor. Is it on the CPU fan or the motherboard, and can raising the fan speed in BIOS help prevent the problem, particularly if it on the motherboard.
John M Gray II

My pentium 4 3.0c stock Intel fan is 4.44 watts. Isn't the mobo designed for this?
Also, can the sys fan header have the speed sensor activated by a bios fix or is it a hardware issue where it just does not exist? If hardware, seems strange since Corecell shows sys fan.

How can i get the max rpm from cpu fan??

how can i get the max rpm from my cpu cooler regarding that i don't have a speed controller attached to the cpu fan ,,, ?? please make things clear for me
thanks

if you have not reduced it by using a speed controller either hardware or software or by the 7v mod its already going as fast as it will at 12 v dc you cannot speed it up only slow it down
need more air get a different cooler/fan

24" iMac summer 2008. CPU fan runs at highest speed, some times goes to "sleep" mode. t' is about 35'- 42'C. Run hardware test: 4sns/1/40000000:tlop-130.000, next time 4sns/1/40000000:tlop-128.000 errors. Reinstalled all softwere. Nothing changed.

I suspect you have hardware problem with a fan sensor. Doing a software install will not help the machine needs to be taken in for service. If you run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode it should reveal the error code. If it does not then run AHT an additional 2-3 times to be sure in Extended Mode. Each pass will take about 30-60 minutes.

Dual CPU fans in IQ816 Question

I have received the fatal error message indicating that my wife's IQ816 CPU fan is dead.
When I opened up the unit I found that one of the 2 CPU fans was indeed not functioning (FYI there are a total of 3 fans in the IQ816s). The fans part number (on the part) is 13G075205000H2 which translates to HP part number 489487-001, and I have ordered a couple of these already.
However, the second CPU fan (located right next to the other one) has part number 13G075205030H2 and I have not been able to find this part number anywhere (it is the same as the first part number with one of the 0s changed to a 3 so it is possible that the same part number may be okay with both, but I have no way of knowing that).
Could someone please let me know what the HP part number is for the 13G075205030H2 as I know this fan will die eventually, and I would like to be prepared with the replacement part in hand.
Thanks in advance,
Don McFarland

For those who may read this thread who are not familiar with PC hardware issues, there are some basic parts which can go bad and cause a machine to no longer function. Historically, manufacturers produce these parts so that customers who need them can keep their machine up and running rather than having to buy a new one. These parts include...
(1) CPU - okay, chances are good that the CPU manufacturer will take care of this being available
(2) CPU Fan - on newer machines, the BIOS will not allow the machine to boot if a CPU fan is not working - whether or not these are available is largely up to the part that was selected by HP - there is no guaruntee that the part will be available unless HP makes that happen.
(3) Memory - okay, chances are good that a memory manufacturer will take care of this being available
(4) Hard Drive - there are plenty of hard drives out there to choose from
Note that of these 4 items, HP is off the hook on 3 of them due to the stock that other vendors maintain, namely the CPU, Memory and Hard drive. The least expensive (by a longshot) critical part is the CPU Fan/heat-sink (production cost is a few dollars). One has to ask oneself, why HP would not make these parts available, because without them, a $2000+ computer (IQ-816 for example when they first came out) becomes a worthless piece of &^%^.
I am really having a hard time believing this sad state of affairs. For anyone reading this, make note that it does not matter how much you paid for your high end HP computer when it comes time for replacement parts, because HP is not taking the responsibility that they should to look after their customers - it may run for a couple of years or so, but when the trouble hits, you may find yourself in the same situation that I am in (i.e. can't get a part that is necessary for the computer to run).

[Solved] Asus L1366 mobo, cpu fan speed control

Hi, everyone,
I finally have this new core i7 system, to replace my old AMD athlonx2. I have one question about the CPU fan speed control.
I remember that in my old system, the cpu fan speed control works out of box, no configuration is needed.
But when I install arch 64 on this new i7 system, the cpu fan is running at its maximum speed constantly while the CPU temperature is modestly low. I know there is a wiki teaching how to do it.
However, I am just curious why it doens't work out of box any more? Does CPU fan control work for you guys out of box normally? especially the new Core i7 cpu users?
Please let me know, really appreciated it.
Thanks a lot.
Update: the issue is solved, see my last post, the solution is blacklisting: asus_atk0110, instead use w83667hg.
Cheers.

First off, it would be useful to know what the sensors-detect script actually reports.
Okay. How fan control works on Linux: First, navigate to /sys/class/hwmon
Each of these folders, i.e. hwmon0, stands for a sensors monitor / fan controller on your mainboard that may control one or several fans. Inside hwmonN, there should be a subfolder called device, which contains several interfaces if your BIOS allows software-side fan control. You can read them with cat and write to them with echo.
Examples:
pwm1_enable shows if OS-level fan control is enabled (1) or disabled and in BIOS control (0). Changing fan speed won't work if this is disabled. (i.e. cat /sys/class/hwmon0/device/pwm1_enable reports 0 -> disabled; you could enable it with echo 1 > /sys/class/hwmon0/device/pwm1_enable).
pwm1 allows to change fan speed. The values range from 0 (fan off) to 255 (full speed, 12V).
fan1_input shows the current RPM if a fan is connected. You can only read from this interface. Its useful to check all of these in the each of the hwmon folders to find out if there is actually a fan connected to the fan controller (they often have more ports than mainboard manufacturers use).
There might be a fan1_div, this is somehow related to how the kernel reads the RPM, I don't know how it works.
temp1_input interfaces can appeare too, if some of the chips have temperature sensors located somewhere. I *think* lm_sensors places the core temperatures it reads from CPU (the coretemp-isa-000X thingies) in one of the hwmon-folders too.
There might be interfaces for different fans in the same hwmon folder, i.e. pwm2_enable, pwm2, fan2_input, etc., all interfaces with the same index belong to the same physical fan connector, and all in the same hwmonN are managed by the same IC on your mainboard.
Warning: These interfaces, if they work, control the fans directly without any kind of security measure. If you shut some essential fan down, it will stay off until you reboot your CPU shuts down.
(If you see something likein0_alarm, in0_input, in0_max, etc. it's a voltage monitoring chip.)
If one of those interfaces can do something, OS-level fan control does work, if none of those folders contain a working pwm interface, fan control seems to be unavailable.
Sometimes there is an option in the BIOS to enable it, and for some BIOSs software-side fan control only works if dynamic fan control is disabled in the BIOS and fan speed is set to a static value - or vice versa.
I don't know what you are using to control fan speed, there are many applications that use these interfaces, i.e. GNOME or KDE power managers, so I'm not sure what is happening:
IF: Windows 7 enables OS-level fan control and sets it the RPM to those you observed and you have nothing that provides fan control in Arch and so fan control stays at BIOS-level, which might also read out a different sensor / the same sensor differently or it might be more conservative in setting fan speeds altogether;
OR: You have something that provides fan control installed in Arch and it reads out a the wrong value supplied by lm_sensors and thus sets a higher fan speed.
Anyway, possible solutions I can think of:
Find out if you have some kind of fan control software and what it does. For example, I use the fancontrol daemon, I can't help you if you use something else.
The wiki mentions how to assign a fan speed to a certain temperature sensors. You might assign it to a different one. For example, there are no sensor chips on the mainboard of my EEE (no temp1 etc.) so I assigned the fan speed to the temperature reported by the BIOS via ACPI (those are in /sys/class/thermal, also no "device" subfolder on EEEs):
FCTEMPS=/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1=/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
You could also change the MINTEMP/MAXTEMP values to one higher than those you actually want to compensate for the effect of lm_sensors reporting temperatures that are too high.
It is currently not possible for a mortal user to change the coretemps lm_sensors reads, see this post, last paragraph.
There is a configuration file, /etc/sensors3.conf, you can change sensor names and adjust offsets here, but only for the monitoring chips and their sensors that are on the mainboard.

What is the correct way of quieting down the CPU fan?

Hello,
Let me first ask for recomendations on an aftermarket CPU Heatsink and Fan to replace the stock one on my AMD x4 965 Black edition CPU please, My profile on this forum has my computers equipment and case etc. But if you need more info please just ask..
Would somebody please give me instructions on how to make the stock CPU cooling fan run at a more appropriate RPM when at idle and or when running with a load on it please.
The stock CPU cooling fan usually runs up there at about 5,000 to 5,500 CPM even when at idle and it's seriously insanely loud, too loud to be sitting next to it and trying to concentrate on work or even playing a game.
I've been loading up the Overclockers Center program and choosing the default profile since that seems to have the CPU fan set to around 3500 RPM which produces an acceptable noise level for the fan. But I figure that having to load up Overclockers Center program and choosing a profile each time I load my computer is probably not the way I should be doing it, so if somebody wouldn't mind, please explain what I need to set in the Bios or elsewhere so that the CPU cooling fan is not blowing my head off with noise all the time.
Thanks

Hello
1-This mobo is strong enough to support such a heavy coolers.Now i have i installed TUNIQ TOWER EXTREM( because of porformance/price here) that is as heavy as v8. although the company dosnt gauranty the failure but it works very well on my case and i rotate and opening the case many times for some experiments!!
2- ZALMAN is a famous cooler producer.I said the rules for choosing a cooler . You can buy one of them .The reviews on net can help you for best choise.BUt v8 is a good proven cooler because the more surface that has and material and big fan.although i didnt have another choice in IRAN.You may find so better coolers.
the fluid mechanic rules say that the surface-material-shape of heat sinks and temperature-velocity-amount of air that moves on the heat sinks are the parameters of a heat sink.
i have a bad experience.In my old case with P4 3 GHZ i bought a good cooler from THERMALTAKE .But the fans is rotating very much and made noise. There was some truth that i didnt mentioned.
The cpu is produce a lot of heat ( more than phenom) and the fan is 10 cmm i think . I replaced the fan with a 12 cmm fan but the system in loads crashed. The heat sink designed for such a fan and it must rotate very much to cool cpu .12 cm fans cant go beyond 2000 rpm i think and this amount of air wasnt enough for cooling.
3- you have a lot of wind in your case!!. I dont know that greater fan than 12 cm is safe because they use more current .But 8 and 12 cm fans works very well with onboard ports and SPEEDFAN program.
After all cooling and making the pc make less noise is a long story .You must have a target . There is a limit that you cant go beyond that so i think you must have a plan and use your money and time on it.
For my new system i had a dream: most powerful-silent-upgradable system so i choosed these parts:
POWER=CM SILENT PRO- for the design and big fan that they have.
CPU=ATHLON II 635 -I knew that phenom is very powerful but make more heat so i used this cpu and have plan for upgrading with a 6 core cpu.
VGA= 1-GIGABYTE 9800GT SILENT
2-ZOTAC 9800GT SYNERGY
choosing a gpu was very hard. 9800gt silent was the most powerful silent cpu that i could buy. but for future i bought a zotac. because it has a single cooler and dosnt occupy a PCI slot that i need.
you may say why you dont buy another 9800 silent? because this card is warm in loads and i had a fear two of them in a case may harm them. I count on HYBRID SLI technology that could shut down the second card but it is not working and i am a little disappoint .
two 9800gt in sli have as power as a GTS 270 in reviews.
CPU COOLER=TUNIQ TOWER EXTREM- According to my counts cooler was silent in ideal but in loads it was noisy so i replaced that
MOBO=NF980-G65-It uses the last chipset from nvidia with sli enabled and ddr3 and phenomii x6 support. (The mobo is hot. According to some reviews it is cooler than AMD chipset motherboards and faster but i hope it was cooler)
Good luck
