I have a Lenovo Yoga with and i5 processor. The fan is extremely noisy and seems to turn on and off all the time.
As an experiment I opened it up and removed the plug that supplies power to the fans. It runs between 40-70 C. Sometimes it peaks above 70 C, but very rarely.
I presume if there was a thermal disaster the CPU would shut itself down, but am I slowly cooking the insides of my laptop?
What I would love to do is change the point where the fan comes on, but that seems to be impossible under linux.
