Fan speed control in lenovo x201

Hi All,

I recently bought a nearly new, refurbished Lenovo X201, 2.53GHz 540M laptop. However, the fan kicks in at a very high speed & slows down, then comes on/off frequently & erratically even though the temperature is quite low, on idle, or even when not running any demanding programs !

A tech friend then upgraded it's BIOS from to the latest v 1.40, yet apparently found no facility in the the BIOS to adjust the fan speed. However, according to a few in the Lenovo forum, this problem was solved by upgrading the BIOS to v 1.22!

So, I wonder if setting the BIOS back to 1.22 would enable my tech friend to set the fan temp/speed control or should the X1 be set at the latest BIOS, ie @ v 1.40? I ask this 'cause. I'd be using this exclusively for recording music & nothing else!

Any help or advice from anyone who has solved or found a solution to this would be of immense help to me.

Thanks
