Hi Antonio. Much as I have had a lot of luck with Sharp gear in the past... I would not get too frantic about the fans in laptops, some are quite silent. The...
As a counterpoint to this, I have an IBM Thinkpad T41 that I would *not* recommend as a quiet notebook. It has an annoying fan that runs far more often than...
Concerning the Thinkpad T4x/R5x fan noise problem: IBM released a new BIOS and Embedded Controller Program, which at least reduces the pulsating fan problem,...
I think it is the "old" T2x series that my brother/friends own, so I guess it is no surprise that I think they are OK. Mind you one of my mates has just...

I just bought a couple of YS-Tech FD1281252B-2A fans (1850rpm/27cfm/20dbA) which I have favoured in the past - they (overclockers.co.uk) sent FD128825LB fans...
Dear Rusk, OK, I'll try to locate that software. Thanks Mula ... _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Declare Yourself - Register online to vote...
