I bought a used Lenovo Thinkad Edge E40 (also known as Edge 14).
The fan is always on 100% and both Cores show 36C in SpeedFan.
There are no settings in the BIOS to limit it.
Apparently Lenovo's Power Manager software can slow down or speed up the fan on some models, but I have the latest version and it doesn't do anything.
There is a 3rd party freeware program called TPFanControl, but it doesn't appear to work with my model. It works for 1sec., then the computer overrides the commands I send to it. If I set it to 30%, it goes to 30% for 1 sec, then immediately goes back to 100%.
I have tried Speedfan and Everest, but neither recognize my fans... just the CPU temps.
It is very loud and annoying.
Any of you guys have thoughts on other programs that might work?
Thanks!
