Hey, I have this problem even on my W530 and W541 systems with the vendor BIOS, so I don't think this is really coreboot related. I've taken two steps to fix it : 1) I use thinkfan to max out the fan speed early and keep it there longer. 2) I limit the processor speed to its maximum normal speed with cpufreq-set.
These two steps have fixed my problem. Just adjusting the fan speed didn't do it for me - I still got thermal shutdowns.
Hope this helps. Martin

Hi community,
Has anyone installed quad core CPUs to the thinkpad T420 experienced the issue of overheat? I have the issue with both Linux and Windows. Under Linux, when building crossgcc with all cores it may overheat and turn off the laptop. (After installed the thermald software it seems a bit better) Under Windows, when doing multipal thread java tasks it also may overheat and turn off. But is there any software that can solve this under Windows?
Cheers
