X200 + Windows 7 Fan Constantly Running
X200 + Windows 7 Fan Constantly Running
I just got a new x200. I never tried XP or Vista on it. Went straight to Windows 7 RTM. The fan constantly runs. I am wondering if this is the normal behavior of the x200 or if it's because I am running Windows 7 and the proper drivers to control the fan are not quite there yet. Any others out there?

Re: X200 + Windows 7 Fan Constantly Running
The fan is controlled by the BIOS. Your choice in operating system has nothing to do with it.

I have the same problem, some others say it is solved, but for me doesn't seem so:
Try to install the latest drivers for Power management (Power Manager Driver, Power Manager) from
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... =WIN7-BETA
and report back if it's ok.
I am running Windows 7 64 bit, maybe that is also a problem.
