[SOLVED] High temperature with lenovo x220

Hi there,

Since one month, I'm having problem with my lenovo x220, before that, everything was fine (I didn't know what have changed since then).

After ~3-4min of running (everytime), my laptop reach 96°C (even if I didn't log in) and the fan start working very fast (wich is annoying because of the sound, but my main problem is the temperature).

Here is the informations I have... Ask if you need more info:

acpid -tb:

Battery 0: Charging, 47%, 01:52:05 until charged
Thermal 0: ok, 96.0 degrees C

sensors:

acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +96.0°C  (crit = +99.0°C)

thinkpad-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
fan1:        4530 RPM

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0:  +96.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0:         +95.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:         +91.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

end of my dmesg:

Do you have any idea of my problems?

Re: [SOLVED] High temperature with lenovo x220

If you are using kernel 3.6.x then it's a known problem causing power regression which implies a higher temperature.
More details in this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150743

I this case I'd recommend downgrading to 3.5.x or using one of the workarounds mentioned in the above thread.
